IMPORTANT INFORMATION

I teach using just one of many accents in the world. Please only learn it if you like it and if you are interested in learning it. I do not believe there is one “correct” accent or manner of pronunciation and I fully encourage EFL/ESL learners to expose themselves to as many varieties of English around the world to become accustomed to the beautiful variations of this world language. I focus mostly on teaching “Modern RP” (I may just say “RP” in my older videos, but to clarify, I do specifically mean “Modern RP”), however, you will hear a lovely little Yorkshire twang to my accent from time to time too. Please LOVE and BE PROUD of your accent. After all, it is part of your identity and makes you unique. 💚

Thank you very much, Emma, for solving a lot of my problems
I wish I could see Emma doing a course on z pronunciation, which is my biggest question, because in England I always think they only say s, not z

It would seem that words with *tual* (e.g. actual, virtual, punctual, spiritual, eventually, contractual, intellectual, etc.) have a /u/ sound, which is between /uː/ and /ʊ/. Could you please make a video on that sound?
