I don’t know if you still see these comments but I cannot explain how helpful this is. My school didn’t teach me this, my teacher didn’t even know about this. Thank you so much from Finland 🇫🇮

This is really an eye opening. Never thought I can learn so much from just one video.

[sidoniolorena]

I wish I could have watched this lesson when I was at University. You are a great teacher Rachel. This is pure linguistic skills

[sumanuel]

It's awesome how wonderfully easy someone with such dominion of a language can make us see something. Thank you, greatly

[trotroslime]

Wow, this is kinda shocking as well as really helpful as always because I've been pronouncing those ending voiced consonants clearly on purpose to try to make my English sound correctly ever since I started studying English. Your videos always show me something really valuable. Thanks, Rachel!!!

finally i found someone who talk about it, I love you seriously, I have been struggling with this problem for a while :)

I'm American, yet grew up with a strange diction issue. That coupled with my deeper than average voice makes people ask me where I am from . I emphasize certain phrasing of words, and speak in a sing song manner. Just briefly going over your videos has reinforced the building blocks of language for me again.So your videos really help Rachel for the American, to sound even more...American! People no longer ask me where I am from, instead they tell me that I have a nice speaking voice. Thank you Rachel ( ;

This is the best English pronunciation video I've ever seen!
Thank you

There is no English teacher like you in all channels of English video. I appreciate you wholeheartedly.

Oh my God this video is gold!! I was having a hard time pronouncing the S as a Z when it was at the end of a word or linked to a consonant.
It just felt forced and unnatural and I couldn't get used to it, and also when listening to other people sometimes it just sounded like a regular S, Now I know why!
it's a subtle detail that many people and many teachers don't pay attention to.

This video helps students advanced students like me. I truly enjoyed. It helps me polish my speaking and listening comprehension.

[alainmp]

Thanks very much for this video. I thought there was something wrong with my ears because I couldn´t hear the voiced sounds at the end of the words. It was really helpful!

[trinhdangngoc]

Everytime I come back here, I get a new enlightenment. Thank you very much, Rachel!

[ttassorted]

This video blew my mind. Thank you so much. I know how to pronoun the -s endings but I'm always confused between /s/ and /z/. I can distinguish them by the vocal cords, but when people speak in real life, the sounds are quite similar. You solved my problem.

[matheuspavan]

Ive watched thousands os pronunciation channels. You are by far the best one. I'll make sure ill buy your book just as a way of support the great work you do on youtube. Keep it up, and thank you as always

[wypimentel]

Wow these flower'z' I saw in many books, and I really tried hard to speak a 'z' sound but I always thought it was too weird... Thanks a lot for taking this annoying thought off my mind, G-d bless your life!

[ttduyen]

my problem has just solved :)))) thanks Rachel <3

[ChrisC]

Thank you, this video helped me a lot when pronouncing the Icelandic þ and ð sounds. The differences are very subtle but still identifiable.

[sindaharayesergeskibo]

Thank you very much dear Rachel! I never miss your daily teachings.

Hi, this was an advanced video about all diphthong, vowel all voiced, and all consonant unvoiced some of them voiced I didn't know before it was the intriguing rule in American English I have to watch this video again and again until I wouldn't understand thanks for making this video.
