      Rachel's English [ASK❤️] Hi Rachel,here i've got a quick question:Why don't we pronounce 'to' as '/də/'? Because we had another video 'How to Pronounce the Word TO' before,it says:Use /tə/ after a word ending in /t/;Can use /də/ all other times,according to that,in this video, 'to' is after 'possible',which is not ending in /t/,so it seems like we should pronounce 'to' here as '/də/'.So Rachel,may I have ur idea?what do you think of it?Thanks a lot!Love u!❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Fact is English is a global language with lots of different native accents. Then there is also a bunch of non-native speakers with their respective accents. When I lived in the US, I spoke with my own accent, let the Americans speak with theirs, and everybody got along perfectly well.

    One thing that is rarely mentioned: o's often have a bit of an "ah" sound to them, like in "a lot" (in contrast to British English for example). A's have something similar going on being nudged towards an "e" and "e"s are closer to an "i" like in "it" so than Americans saying "n" sometimes sounds a bit like "in"

  • @Chivas6
    @Chivas6 Před 9 lety +33

    So few language learners manage to ever sound like a native speaker, it's barely worth the effort. Unless you spend a large amount of time immersed in the language (years and years living in a different country perhaps), you'll always have your original accent. But that's okay. So you speak English with a French/German/Polish accent, big deal, accents are cool. I'd spend more time listening to native speakers and don't worry, your accent/pronunciation will adjust itself.

    • @Dakarn
      @Dakarn Před 9 lety +3

      Chivas6 Probably because most native English speakers (in America) barely bother to learn their native language to begin with, and it's easier to understand foreign speakers using English. LOL

    • @Chivas6
      @Chivas6 Před 9 lety +1

      Dakarn
      I've found that non native speakers often do find it easier to understand other non native speakers. This is most likely because non native speakers use much simpler phrasing and vocabulary.

    • @Dakarn
      @Dakarn Před 9 lety

      Chivas6 It's only because, grammar-wise, English is basically backwards from every other language in the world.

    • @Chivas6
      @Chivas6 Před 9 lety

      Dakarn
      What do you mean?

    • @Dakarn
      @Dakarn Před 9 lety

      Chivas6 English Grammar: Noun/Pronoun Verb Subject (She went to the store.)
      Where-as .. say .. German : Sie hat zu das geschäft gegangen. Noun/Pronoun Tense Subject Verb. Where English is strict on where the verb lies in the sentence, most other languages, depending on the tense, as long as the verb is in there, it's fine.

    Thank you because I did just this when learning French and wooow "Imitating a native and then comparing yourself until it's perfect" is the best way to improve my accent.
    I would add that you speak to a native and then paraphrase everything for him to correct you.

    I'm Jordanian, I started learning by myself when I turned 7 I used to watch Bratz lol and listening to music until I turned 11 I started to speak English very well at this age until I ended up speaking fluently, learning languages from young age is good thing for the subconscious mind
