I don't know how you do it, but I understand almost everything what you're talking about. I'm from Ukraine and my English isn't good enough, and you are motivating me to study. Thanks for that, Elliot

I love ur accent so much, and I’ve been mimicking the British accent all the way in HK due to its elegance and uniqueness. I’m gonna come to England in April, honestly I hope all the slangs and idioms that I’ve learned from you could be applied in my journey. Thank very very much!!!

As someone who has tutored many Asian persons, who started in British English, and having myself lived in England (I am an American), I have found your videos instructive, as well as enjoyable. Your presentations are very clear, and I enjoy what for me, as an instructor and editor, is the comparison between good English and American pronunciation and usage. Many thanks for your informative and delightful videos!😃😃👍👍.

Your accent is just amazing 😍 thank you teacher you are the best ❤️🤗

[valerygorelova]

I see that you always sit so close to the camera to show your articulation. But after 5-7 videos it seems like I know you better than I know my best friend =D Great video as usual! You help me to understand my British colleagues better and I also help them to understand me (but I will never know because of their unlimited politeness). Thank you so much, Elliot!

Perfect way to learn English and your pronunciation lessons are the best...I’ve followed your advice to listen native English in order to become more familiar with the flow of sounds....and you are that native ...thanks....just perfect 👌

[mohinurjamuratova]

Thank you Elliott for every lesson! I love you and your videos❤❤❤❤

[Mojitos]

I'm having a hard time doing it, 😞 I've been watching your videos all the time but my accent just can't change when I do it in real scenarios--maybe because I'm conscious of how will I sound. Your accent just sounds amazing.😭😭😭

[Jorgeoliveira]

Another way to say “I dunno what you saying”: *”Can you please repeat that, sir/my fair lady? I possess no braincells in my head, ”*

[gioeleputzolu]

As an international student living and studying in the UK, I can confirm I've never heard any native speaker saying "I don't understand". Nice one mate!

[wiselordasianjesusthegreatest]

Holy guacamole! I haven't *ever* learnt english this well anywhere else 🤯😲

[hanpohtin]

Great teacher. You help to demystify all the so-called rules set down by my past non-native English teachers. It was really a tongue-twister exercise when as a student, I was told to pronounce all the 't', 'th', 'ed' and 'st' etc. at the end of each word. Thanks!

[eda]

You are a great teacher.Thank you for everything💕Lots of love from İstanbul/Turkey
