Hi friendly people!

The idea for this video has been living in my head for quite a while - it just needed some time to cook! I'm happy to tell you that PART 2 is ready for you!! :-)))))

When you click on this video it's probably not going to be what you're expecting - nothing to do with accent! These videos are about behaviour and how you come across. Last week was more about WHAT to say. Today I'll be talking about HOW to say it! So: the voice!

I talk about how the rose is a great role model for us all! Watch the video to find out how ;-)

I love that " the King 's Speech " movie with actor Colin Firth .
I 've the book here at home (also with Colin Firth on the cover), written in beautiful English, all about speech therapy and eloquence for a British Monarch.

A perfect example of people showing off, or displaying, good
breathing techniques to support and control their air flow are
those star opera singers,
e.g. singing the piece " Laudate Dominum " by Mozart, using breathing techniques handed over from generation to generation from- classical composers times- when there where no microphones or sound amplifiers .
I particularly love to see female opera singer Renee Fleming ' live' in action in front of a big orchestra because she masters her breathing so good and I 'll be watching her every breath she takes and every move she makes .

Wow ! What an amazing video lesson! Well done Katharine 👍
Today you’ve proven to the world that you are not only a professional teacher, but a skilful therapist as well. We adore YOU ❤
The tongue twisters were really hilarious 😂

[viduninelithya]

Thanks a million. Today you are just like a rose flower. This is a really interesting lesson. I love it. ♥️🌹

[武男金城-mz]

Dear Katharine, I ADORE you. Tongue twisters are very difficult, but so much funny and interesting. I'm going to exercise repeatedly. Thank you. See you again.

[bhoginisangyasinghbasnet]

Thank you dear Katharine. Nice lesson.

[jrgonzo]

Teach me all day ... my beautiful Katharine ...

[mohammedalmutlaq]

Your voice is truly enchanting and adds a special touch to Jane Austen's quotes, making them even more enjoyable, your smile was more beautiful than a rose, and your presence is as fragrant as a flower. 🌹 Thanks for creating such a calming and thoughtful video.

[ramsharandass]

I firmly believe that your teaching methods will certainly make a tremendous impact on speaking and understanding English.

[ashikihsan]

Hi Katherine, I miss you. Meeting you in a long way. Thank you for the Word Intonation and Pronunciation in a correct way. You are such a great teacher Katherine

Hi Katherine! 🙂
Great lesson and excellent tips and pieces of advice! I liked the tongue twisters part and it made me think of sth I had written to Sabrah( or to Anna maybe). Here it is, I hope you like it.

"I'm a thistle sifter. I have a sieve of sifted thistles and a sieve of unsifted thistles because I'm a thistle sifter". *
Practising speech, my sis, I also select tongue-twisters with the infamous and satanic θ and S sounds: my nemesis! Staunchly I state my thistle-sifterness, spitting syllables, and spite the sun-soaked silence of my Tuscan street, my S under stress sliding between soft slushy shhh and sharp lisping whistle.
I detest this. Sometimes I detest myself. (I'm striving but this is a kinda sneaky nightmare Sweetie! ;-)
Yet still and months passing, I insist against all evidence that my sole business is the sifting of thistles; that to sift thistles is the purpose of my existence; that I shall persist in sifting thistles until these endless cursed thistles are sifted,
... because I am a thistle sifter's son, sis!

*Tongue-twister attributed to Lionel Logue, The King’s Speech.
Great tongue twister with which, I suppose, the poor King Georges VI probably struggled a lot! (Note that being a 'thistle sifter's SON' probably makes things still worse, doesn't it?! ... 😂 ;-)
Merci Kate! 🙏👏👍Love, bisous, bisous 😘🌹💞
Have a lovely weekend!
❤

What an excellent video, Katharine! Very well done!

Now, I’m keep practising in my speech with British English Conversation Drivers additional moreover, it’s lovely to seeing you again.

Hola Katie! Beautiful video. Sounded like a soft KISS. You kept it short and simple. ❤❤❤

The slower you speak, the more fluent you are.
The more I watch your videos, the more fluent I am.
Being closer to our mindsets triggers you to make extremely valuable and attractive videos. That's why you are a pioneer in methodology. It's not easy at all to be a likeable teacher. I'd ask if we can help translate your videos into our own languages. You deserve to be known. So proud to be learning from a mother-tongue English teacher, despite studying linguistics for almost four years, but practicing is totally different from the syllabus.
Moe.🎉
