1:38, let me explain. The word colonel came to English from Italian (colonelo), but pronunciation is actually taken from French word coronelle. So it's a hybrid, such a situation is typical of English. The most interesting thing, that later, French borrowed the word colonello from Italian, and stopped using their own word coronello.

What a calming and clear voice. Your students are very lucky to have you as a teacher 😊.

Thanks for providing this course . This was taught in a central American country (elementary school as English , second language ). When I came to the US I was amazed at the poor English used by the school teachers here in Texas.

[LMN]

I hugely like your explanations. Honestly your English method is very comprehendable

Cuba is a Spanish word which is pronouncedC-oo-ba (Cuba). In English it’s C-you-ba like she said.
So it’s not incorrect to pronounce it the Spanish way.

So well delivered. The material delivered is thoroughly chosen and easy to memorize! I have been learning English all my life, working with this language ; I always find something different or new for me. Great.

I'm a native speaker of English, and I find this channel very interesting - I'm so glad that I don't have to learn English as a second language! 😂

[asangman]

It's difficult for non native speakers to use the correct pronunciation. In India it even varies according to region. As a student of English literature and now a teacher, I struggle a lot. Such videos are quite helpful.

[joseabad-olaya]

Thanks for the lesson. It helps a lot in improving our pronunciation and making it accurate. The pronunciation of "increase" varies depending on whether it is treated as a noun or as a verb. Keep up the great work.

A million thanks to Lisa for making this important video. I have learned English for a long time and always have a difficulty to pronunce DEVELOPE and DEVELOPMENT. Finally i came across this lesson. Thank you again Lisa. 👍💯💯💯

[saharhamzei]

So useful! I would like to suggest to add a short quiz at the end, just as your other vides. The quiz part is my favorite one. It gives me the idea of self evaluation and makes me focus while listening.

I liked when you taught your student to pronounce 'develop'. You never let him get away with the incorrect pronunciation. And you have excellent ears, you can spot the words very quickly. Thanks so much for creating this clip. I learnt a lot. Thanks,

[YilmaWako-cddu]

Excellent !! I truly love the way you teach the English language. Thanks a lot once again.

[reginaroberts]

Literally, the best English Teacher on YouTube. Bravo 👏👏👏

[HKr]

It's an awesome video, even the most advanced speakers of English may not even know that they pronounce some of those words wrongly. It has been very helpful on the part of me and no doubt so will it for many other people.

[northernsprout]

I like how you’re straight forward with your students mispronunciations. You tell them it’s not correct and have them say it until it is. No coddling.

[BaruvaUttara-rwtq]

You're literally a good teacher. I have learnt many things from your videos. Keep uploading more videos
