Let's put your speaking & listening skills to the test. We're going to practice saying some simple sentences using different parts of connected speech.

I want you to practice with me and say the sentences out loud using the same intonation, emphasis, and speed.

It is the most important method to give me the courage to be able to talk without being embarrassed. I'm so grateful to you for your help. I feel I'm lucky to have you as a teacher you. Thank you a lot.

O Capitan, my Capitan!

There are many YouTube channels dedicated to advanced English teaching. However, Interactive English has the best of both worlds, that is to say, vocabulary/expressions/idioms and connected speech/pronunciation/flow and rhythm. Everything in one place. No other yt channel covers such a wide range of different aspects of English language skills.

While learning I struggle with the meaning of a phrase or what it sounds like in spoken English. Wes gives both the meaning and how people say it. Both are really necessary to become proficient. And to top it all off, Wes makes some cultural references only a native speaker can explain. I’ll be back. Maybe that’s what Wes could say to start with.

I hope Wes makes another lesson on connected speech like this one.

Greetings from Poland.

[haartmannlepak]

It was just great! I could never have imagined I'd be able to speak that fast. I messed up a couple of times but in general it was a remarkable experience, I must say. Keep it up, Wes. Fantastic

Hi Wess! Could you create a video about subjunctive mood? And emphasis (do, does, did)❤

[johnlomi]

Thank you Wes...Am wondering, will you teach us like this in your speaking class?

[SaluranMerekah]

Hallo Wes, Thank you for your videos, they are very helpful. I am indeed practicing to improve my American English accent. I have a problem with pronunciation in a sentence where there is a word that ends with the letter 'S' followed immediately by words that begin with 'TH', such as: (Was that, Focus this, Is there, Is that). It’s so difficult to say the sentences smoothly without pausing when there is an S-ending word followed by a TH-beginning word, it always makes me stop briefly. Do you have any special tips for linking these two words? If you do, please let me know how to practice it. Thank you.☺❤❤

Pls add some GRE vocabularies, as I do not know how rarely used words to learn, GRE vocabularies are at least at test scope, we do not need to learn really rarely used words to show off, but practical words

Speaking 😅ty very much, it’s very helpful.
