===============================================
NAME:- Elizabeth (Liz)
WHERE DO YOU LIVE? - England (UK)
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN 5 WORDS? - ‘Outwardly innocent, but inwardly knowing’.
WHERE IS THE MOST INTERESTING PLACE YOU'VE TAUGHT? - That would be a one-to-one in a young Italian man’s flat in southern Italy. When he invited me to teach him at his home, I stupidly thought that Mamma would be there cooking the lunch, but no, it was a bachelor pad and no sign of Mamma! I eventually left having learned more about Italian customs than he had learned English!
BEST TEACHING MOMENT? - One of my greatest achievement was when a couple of very naughty teenage Belgian students were sent here to England to learn English. They had been expelled from several schools in their own country and this was their last chance to prove themselves. After a few months of playing around in different levels, and coming close to being expelled again, they eventually ended up in my FCE class. Now they had two chances - respect their teacher and learn something or go back to Belgium. Well, they did go back to Belgium but not before they had passed their FCE! They became my two favourite students of all time. I love a challenge!
HOW MANY STUDENTS HAVE YOU TAUGHT? Over 10 thousand
WHAT'S YOUR MOST EMBARRASSING TEACHER MOMENT? - It happened during a DELTA observed lesson. One of my students happened to suffer from Tourette’s syndrome. Of course, I had no reason to worry, I had mentioned the fact in my lesson plan, and anyway, this student had never caused a problem before. However, today was different. Very different. Upon eliciting the required information from him - not wanting to leave him out - instead of answering the question in his usual fashion, he suddenly exhumed a torrent of swear words from somewhere deep within himself. After this cathartic experience he looked very pleased with himself but, unfortunately, this was not really the answer I was looking for. Everything went quiet, I looked over at the examiner who looked rather shocked. It certainly wasn’t your run-of-the-mill DELTA exam! BUT I passed!

This video is awesome. It solved my 4-year-long struggle to pronounce 'croissant' in a second.
Sorry for the late reply. To help a professional baker pronounce this word is amazing. I'm an awful baker but would love to try some EASY Japanese bread recipes. Happy New Year. Love ❤️ & 🕊️Peace. Liz
Wow! 20 years living in the UK and only now got it right! Lol Thank you lovely!

Mam Your videos are clear to understand .since we learned phonetic sounds from you we are preparing for spell bee mam kindly suggest books with root words, prefix and suffix.
Thank you, there are books with lists, but I would just 'Google' - Root Words for affixation.
To get you started here is an explanation of affixation and some root words with prefixes and suffixes added:-
Root words are the base words to which affixes (prefixes and suffixes) are added to form new words. The process is called affixation. Here are some examples of root words and how they can be changed through affixation:
1. **Happy** (Root Word)
- **Unhappy** (Prefix added)
- **Happiness** (Suffix added)
2. **Comfort** (Root Word)
- **Uncomfortable** (Prefix and suffix added)
- **Comforting** (Suffix added)
3. **Care** (Root Word)
- **Careless** (Suffix added)
- **Carefully** (Suffix added)
4. **Connect** (Root Word)
- **Disconnect** (Prefix added)
- **Connection** (Suffix added)
5. **Joy** (Root Word)
- **Joyful** (Suffix added)
- **Joyless** (Suffix added)
6. **Use** (Root Word)
- **Useful** (Suffix added)
- **Misuse** (Prefix added)
7. **Trust** (Root Word)
- **Trustworthy** (Suffix added)
- **Distrust** (Prefix added)
8. **Play** (Root Word)
- **Playful** (Suffix added)
- **Replay** (Prefix added)
9. **Help** (Root Word)
- **Helpful** (Suffix added)
- **Unhelpful** (Prefix added)
10. **Create** (Root Word)
- **Creative** (Suffix added)
- **Recreate** (Prefix added)
In each of these examples, the root word is the fundamental part of the word that carries the core meaning. Affixes modify this core meaning in various ways.
Good luck with the Spelling Bee Love ❤️ & 🕊Peace. Liz
French has the same sounds in Portuguese.
Thanks!
Thank you for letting me know. I tried learning a little Portuguese this summer as I went to Cabo Verde, but it was tough as it was intermingled with Creole. Love ❤️ & 🕊Peace. Liz

W for oi .is it used in anyother word
Remember that the oi is pronounced as /wʌ/ and not just /w/ on its own. I do not know of any other English words that pronounce oi this way and of course the word croissant is borrowed from French. Happy New Year. Love ❤️ & 🕊️Peace. Liz
I'm still not sure about the silent R in the original pronunciation.
Just pretend it's not there. Love ❤️ & 🕊Peace. Liz
@@EnglishwithLiz What I mean is the French pronounce it.
Love you to, best English language channel ever.
Ah, maintenant je comprends! Thank you for your kind words. Love ❤️ & 🕊Peace. Liz
He dare not have faced me ??
Is it right or wrong ma'am?? Love u ma'am.
'He didn't dare face me' is the correct way of using dare, or he need not have faced me. It depends on the meaning you are trying to convey. I need more context Jay.
This sound is also present in Punjabi language.
Thank you for letting me know. This I didn't know. Love ❤️ & 🕊Peace. Liz
He did not dare to face me .
Grammatically , Is it correct or wrong ?? Love u love u .....ma'am.
Nearly right, the correct way ' He didn't dare face me' - you don't have to contract the 'did not'. Love ❤️ & 🕊Peace. Liz
@@EnglishwithLiz
He dare not have faced me
Is it right or not?? Love u love u love u ma'am
@@EnglishwithLiz
Need not have 3rd
Dare not have 3rd
Grammatically , Is it correct or not ma'am ??
😂
Glad you enjoyed it. Love ❤️ & 🕊Peace. Liz

Not only did I find your video entertaining and funny, Liz, but it also brought back to my mind the last scene of the film Finding Your Feet where Sandra shouts to Charlie over the Paddington Canal "You're right Charlie! There isn't a single place in Surrey where you can get a decent kwʌsɒ̃". 😂😂
I've never seen that film. I'll put it on the list. It is actually difficult to find a good croissant in the UK. My favourite is a bakery in an Industrial estate in Cheltenham, (another difficult word for some to pronounce) where people start queing half an hour before they open! My favourite is their Almond Croissant. Yum! Now can you pronounce 'Almond' correctly? This video is a bit dated as it features the Queen, but in case you want to know, here it is czcams.com/video/UT1VqMCt-r0/video.htmlsi=u6-mbsFjmWQ9z8SA Love ❤️ & 🕊Peace. Liz
