How important it is for us learners, to hear native speech, to listen to native pronunciation.

Happy Independence day! I love this channel so much. It's very helpful as I am an English teacher and I can share these videos to my students to improve their pronunciation. I hope you guys make one about the capital city of each state and one about the countries around the world. Thanks for the wonderful videos!

I'm Briton and I was for some reason wondering if I could remember the states of the US and I started naming them one by one out loud and came a US friend and said: "You're pronouncing Arkansas wrong" and I asked her how to pronounce it and tried to pronounce it like her and I just couldn't 😂😂😂.
