Hi everyone!
I've recently filmed a couple of longer videos as well. They'll be up in August!

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this little one. I think the history of the word is actually quite fascinating :). Do you pronounce the T in "often"?

I hope you're all well!

That’s incredible! I’ve always pronounced of’en without knowing that you could say ofTen. A few weeks ago, watching a video in English (I’m French) I hear ofTen several times ... From there, in every video I watch, always the same! OfTen ofTen ... I think then that I was always wrong and so begins to correct me (but it is not easy) and then your video is offered to me without I asked for anything. If it’s not magic ... Thank you

Anyway, welcomig back again, Max 💙. Thanks a million for this useful video. You look so beautiful 🙈. Love ya, princess 🥰.

New Zealand English pronunciation is almost exactly like the Australian, but tiny bit faster and mumbled as the O slides into a more of a guttural "uh" sound like the way she says the E - just say it the Australian way, and it'll naturally sound right when you speak with New Zealand people and learn their speech pattern.

Also, the way she says E is the same reduced vowel in New Zealand English as: dress, said, met, best, lead, sled, fish, chips, better, deck, and, etc. Just in case you were wondering why New Zealand English is so difficult.

There's a third English pronunciation: long "o" at the beginning and silent T. Often sounds like "orphan" That's the right way to say it.

Love your stuff!
I noticed that you soften the r at the end of a word (example: however) whereas this southern boy from Mississippi puts a secondary accent on the third syllable (ver) and pronounce it like "fur" but with the "v".

Max, do you ever do voice coaching for film/tv?

Hello, history professor. Nice that you are back.
But seriously: one of the words that comes easily to a German. The word "offen" also exists in the German language, just with a different meaning, as you know.
Kind regards from sweaty Germany Thomas

Ooooo!I do miss this "ofTen".
Nowadays, where I am, everybody pronounce "ofen", While my Welsh teacher emphasized to pronounce the T.

Total oppression for the "T" 😂
