Hi Molly!
I loved the video.
It’s very interesting.
Greetings from Chile.
Here in Chile, there is a tradition called “La Once”.
“La Once” is what in the UK is known as the “afternoon tea”.
Why do we Chileans call it “La Once”?
There are several theories about it.
One of those theories, is that formerly the workers liked to drink “aguardiente”
The word “aguardiente” has eleven letters. And the word “eleven” translated into Spanish is “once”.
Another theory, is that “La Once” is a tradition that we Chileans adapted from the British.
Therefore “La Once” would come from the word “Elevenses”. Because the word “Elevenses” translated into Spanish is “once”

at 0:23 "One of the hardest thing to get our head around" I found it very difficult to say " hardest thing" smoothly

Rememeber the “E” turns into a schwa sound and instead of pronouncing the /t/ try to go straight into the /Yh/: harduhsthing”

Hi Molly, one thing that I noticed is that the 'u' sound as in (put) and the short 'i' sound appears as the unstressed syllable in almost all the words in English obviously with some exceptions. And even in this video I saw that you have made these two sounds equivalent to the schwa. I reckon that proves my observation. But my question is, is it okay for someone to pronounce the unstressed syllable ( when it comes to the 'u' and the 'i' sound) as a schwa when speaking although the phonetic transcription in the dictionary for that word doesn't show a schwa ?

[@mollypvoiceaccentcoach]

Hello!
If I understand your question right, yes. As the dictionary transcriptions will be taking into consideration the word in isolation rather than within connected speech. When we speak words in sentences, they usually turn into the schwa!
