thank you for this video! I have recently been focusing a lot more on the pronunciation of day to day words and IPA helps a lot. I've become familiar with the symbols but still get confused from time to time, so I really appreciate the video and the provided resources!

Hi Teacher. I am watching your video because I do love British accent but I am working from Mexico for an American company, so I must get more confident in American English. However, I hope one day I can be more familiar with British English.

What an amazing teacher you are Anna! Extremely calm, poised, composed, clear, precise and your great humour, charm and acting talents still adding to these qualities make you the most agreeable and wonderful teacher one could dream of! I should stop here because Sabe, my sweetie, is gonna be jealous! 😂
As you can guess, I'm not a beginner but I like English so much that I watch a lot of English courses because there is always something new to learn or review and I especially like the British accent and schwa !!! Listening to Sabe or yourself is like sugar to my ears.
As for me, I know the IPA without ever having learnt it!...Might sound curious but here is why: In fact my first English teacher (3 first years) was like a 'master' of it and he would often write it with some particular words. He never required us to learn it but, by dint of seeing it bound to the words and sounds, I ended up having made like an unconscious connection eventually learning it and knowing it without I never realised ...
Now, I would really recommend the learners who wish...to learn it, say, consciously; I think that is very useful if, for example, you run across a word making you hesitate regarding the exact pronunciation and if you can have access to its phonetics and especially of course if you don't dispose of an audio!
The great advantage these days is that in any online dictionary, now, you have the available audio allowing you to listen to the word. I would although advise everybody to learn it nevertheless; It can always come in handy for all learners of foreign languages!
I absolutely loved the lesson; You gave some great tricks and tips that each one can personalise (which I recommend to do) for still helping the memorisation better.
You also reminded that the principle of spaced repetitions with cards (excellent) for example is one of the best ways to learn and memorise in the long term! 👍
In a nutshell, excellent lesson Anna, as always !!! 👍👌👏
Bisous! /bizu/ 🥰🌹❤
P.S.: Personally perhaps (But maybe for a next lesson or short ;-), I woul have evoked the important symbol ' which precises the place of the accent/accentuation to know which syllable (1st, 2nd, 3rd etc...) must be accentuated in the word (if there's one). So important for English of course !!

[majedasaad]

Thank Anna for IPA... BUT new language is new life and when you can considerate us like children which are newborn and want to learn new life and automatically you teach and make simple sentences to give us easy information and ingenious or brilliant in same time to everyone understands you... You understand me please
