“I guarantee you’re not saying these words correctly”

Me, a native born American: what am I doing here?

[patrickhodson]

I find these so interesting even though I’m American lol

When I'm traveling on business, I always dream of bringing my family along. We'd have to go our separate ways though, as they'd probably get bored listening to endless discussions about money and interest. My favorite activity is actually taking my camera, along with several lenses and a large memory card, and visit different Catholic churches. When the temperature drops, we could go to a comfortable restaurant and order every natural vegetable dish that looks interesting, and have some chocolate cake for dessert. Now, if only I can win the lottery!

Native English speaker from Philly here. I grew up in this city in the 1980s/90s and my teachers usually taught us to say the words with both pronunciations the 'longer' way, despite also being native English speakers. From my understanding, it's more of a 'school vs home' thing. The trick to make the longer way work is to make sure that deleted syllable is not stressed and said quickly.

As a native English speaker from the US, I actually pronounce both “comfortable” and “interesting” the long way. I switch between the short and long for “family”, and I always say “vegetable” the short way. I hear the short versions a lot more often. I just talk slower than most people.

I really want to thank Rachel for the time and effort she puts into each of her videos. I've learnt more from her than all of my English teachers from kindergarten to college combined. Thank you!

[Blahhhhh]

In Hong Kong here, most teachers from kindergarten and primary schools never learned phonetic. They didn’t pronounce the words right and all students just simply followed it. Not till I came to US to study and I finally knew how to say vegetable right 😊

Meanwhile students in Slovakia: *pronouncing comfortable as comfort table*

[timsvea]

I am born and raised in the USA and usually pronounce these words in the longer form with all the syllables. Nothing wrong with that!

[ishouldhavetried]

I'm American, I was born here, and I've been speaking English since I could speak. I've always pronounced the I in family as an "uh", and barely saying it, but it is said.

[Alice-fwcu]

My favorite thing about shortened pronunciations is that there's actually a time and a place for the longer ones when used by native speakers, since they're used for emphasis or to create a more negative connotation even though the word choice is the same. If I say something is "Interesting" the long way I'm more likely communicating annoyance or stress, but if something is "Intresting" it's more likely to be genuine. If you're told to get "comftorble" it's hospitality, but if you say "comfortable" the long way it's either a threat or an indication of a long wait to come. "I'm listning" is an indication of interest, but "I'm listening" is an indication it's time for the speaker to get on with it.

[jorger]

"Wednesday" is another good example.

[caremell]

" say that with me !" i straightened up my body rushed into repeating words exactly. Yes mam. Fam-ly

After reading the comments, I found that I really understand the underlying implication of Rachel in this video, but I don't know why the native speakers here are making negative comments about this vid when it is really helpful. You clearly miss out on what I saw from this, or maybe I am missing out on what you are seeing in this video. But as a non-native speaker, I find it hard and struggle most of the time to pronounce all the words in English in their full sound. "Like. I. will. literally. sound. like. how. you. are. reading. this. applying. the. stops. from. the. periods.". But after learning the tips across a lot of Rachel's videos, I then realized "Oh, so that's why natives speak in a smooth fluid way, you apply 'efficiency' methods in pronouncing words most of the time." I love the most, the American Accent. Plain, simple, informative and I really think it sounds humble but rich, compared to other accents. Hahahaha

This is the first time I noticed I dont know much english pronunciation UNTIL NOW, sweet sister. Every day we're learning new things. Thanks a lot for teaching this.

[deevnn]

The word "wrong" has a pejorative interpretation which makes most people defensive whereas the word
incorrect can be used with no implied negative consequences.

[dfxdfx]

I didn't know a website such as youglish existed. It's an incredible tool.

[DennysFrancisco]

I love when she says: "Say that with me!"

[SuperRufero]

What a teacher! She's so precise and clear.
