I find this information extremely useful, as a spanish speaker I'm impressed that our schools actually dont teach this, its not even hard and its like the basics to be able to pronounce correctly any language.

[annaivanova]

it was wonderful. some of words were unrecognizable and seemed like Egyptian hieroglyphs but as soon as I started to pronounce them everything becomes clear. thank you teacher 🌹

[OrcjaEnglish]

I have been learning English for many years, but my teachers have never taught me these 44 phonetics. I learned these phonetics through this video. I am hopeful that I will learn them fast. Thank You!

[СветПобедитТьму]

I have a lot of pleasure from watching your video! I'm ukrainian and I was studing English last 3 years. Now I am temporarily living in Netherlands and I continue to improve my skills with your lessons. Thank you very much for your great work!

[perfectcutvideos]

I'm a native Arabic speaker. English is my second language. I've always wanted to learn about phonetics and this is the first video I've watched on the subject.
Thank you sir for making it look easy.

[EnglishWithGreg]

Oh, and also...
⚠At 6:12 and 6:57 in this video, I made a mistake with the on-screen text! 😣 It should be: SHIP with /ɪ/ and SHEEP with /i:/ – Sorry for the confusion! 🙏🏼

[sydneybrown]

I've taking phonetic almost three time and have never understood any of it until this video! you are absolutely amazing at this! BEST VIDEO EVER

[danielvitor]

Excellent video, Greg!
But there was a little mistake in the IPA symbol for /i/ (6:12) and /ɪ/ (6:59):
Actually, it goes like this:
/iː/ sheep, feet, leave, peek
/ɪ/ ship, fit, live, pick

But good job!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[lil_groguabuelo]

Thank you so much, I think I'm beginning to become a grammar nerd! I could geek out on grammar for hours. I speak three languages, but struggled with my third which forced me to learn grammar now I'm hooked, on tenses, verbs (modal auxiliaries), and now phonetics. This is only the beginning, Grammer is like a drug to me now!

[AndroidK]

It's so cool that an international pronunciation alphabet exists. If one were to learn how to pronounce all the sounds in it, one would be able to read aloud any word in any accent of any language, as long as a native or a speaker of the language can translate it to the IPA

[bhkdesignmannat]

This is the first video for me, in which i came to know the exact phonetics. May God bless you.

[sumathiranaweera]

Cheers Greg! I have been able to brush up my phonetic knowledge because of this lesson..

[exs]

It needs to be pointed out there is a huge difference between British (especially Cockney) and American accents which in many cases causes some difficulty and misunderstanding in communication not to mention dialect and idioms being used here and there.
Great vid overall 👍

[РусланПогорелов-пс]

This channel is one of a few which I would recommend to all fans of English. Gorgeous performance! 🎯

[kwabenasaka]

I had an exam to write on how to transcribe words and it has really helped thank you sir for your hardwork.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU

[solisimperium]

I stumbled across this video curious about learning IPA chart symbols. As an American I found this interesting. I was pronouncing the words like a British person, it was kind of crazy to me lol. Caught me off guard a little. Thanks for the video.

[Vetgong]

Hi Greg! Many thanks for your great effort in teaching us to pronounce English in the right way! Hope you're doing well! Take care!

[McMxxCiV]

Great video to explain the IPA to beginners, but there are a few mistakes:
-The ŋ does not include the "g"-sound at the end.
-There's no i in the transcription of 'ship', but an ɪ without a dot, while in sheep the i: should have a dot.
-You're coupling up vowels in short-long pairs, but those pairs aren't actually related: i, u, ɑ, and ɔ all exist as short vowels too, though not necessarily in standard English pronunciation. They are produced very differently than ɪ, ʊ, æ and ɒ respectively. You can easily test this by checking how your mouth does completely different things for the vowels in e.g. words like foot and goose.

I was really scared about IPA before but now it's pretty much easier . Thanks for the valuable lessons.

[MisrakSeyuom]

Hi Master! I am from Ethiopia. really it was very fantastic lesson. since I am English as a foreign language teacher it is directly connected with my career. even though I thought English for so many years, phonetic transcription was difficult for me to teach my students. I know I am poor in English but I am still hungry to communicate fluently with it. I expect so many things from you.
