Well, as a non native English speaker I would say 😌 this guy is actually our English savior. I've been following him on RUclips since two years ago, and really, it's like a big change has been happening to my English because of him. Man, I just wanna say Thank you, and keep up the good work😊 always support what you do on RUclips 🎉
The way Kevin teaches American English helps me understand much better how native American English speakers actually use the language. I spent a lot of time watching videos from fake teachers, and it was a waste of time. Thank God I found this channel.
Sometimes Kevin seems to be the biggest nitpick i've ever seen)) I know many people who have lived in the States for decades but speak with their accents and mistakes. And nobody cares. But as far as Giovanna passes herself off as a teacher and makes mistakes, her mistakes have to be revealed to avert wrong teaching.
8:04 I guess, Sir. Kevin, she heard it from nonstandard English speakers. If her video's aim is to teach SE, it would be incorrect to use it. But you're not strictly prescriptivist in the English language, are you?
She is (supposedly) teaching other people, so she must use correct English. Pronouncing the "l" in yolk is simply incorrect and she should not be teaching it, even if "nonstandard speakers" may say it.
@@SWilliams-s3j Yes. It's incorrect for SE. If her video's aim is to teach SE, it would be incorrect to use nonstandard English because it is meant for informal settings unlike SE for formal settings. All English varieties regardless whether it's standard or nonstandard are equally valid forms of communication. However, their appropriateness depends on context and purpose.
@@m61sha I think Merriam-Webster and Wiktionary acknowledge it as a valid pronunciation in the nonstandard English varieties. It reflects the linguistic diversity within the English language. ❤️
@@SWilliams-s3j Pronouncing [l] in yolk is wrong in SE, but it's totally valid in their English dialect. According to Essentials of Linguistics, 2nd edition on page 10-11, “The other important thing to keep in mind is that no grammar is better than any others. Maybe you’ve heard someone say, “Oh, I don’t speak real Italian, just a dialect,” implying that the dialect is not as good as so-called real Italian. Or maybe you’ve heard someone say that Québec French is just sloppy; it’s not as good as the French they speak in France. Or maybe you’ve heard someone say that nobody in Newfoundland can speak proper English, or nobody in Texas speaks proper English, or maybe even nobody in North America speaks proper English and the only good English is the Queen’s English that they speak in England. From a linguist’s point of view, all languages and dialects are equally valid! There’s no linguistic way to say that one grammar is better or worse than another.”
Great video as always. I noticed another type of mistake in how the lady pronounced words like “spatula”: she’s consistently aspirating the word initial consonant clusters as in “sphhhatula”, which is also not correct. She also does it with “say” and “side”, which to me sounds very off.
Also, she will never admit when she is (frequently) wrong; hence the hilarious 'explanation' about "yolk" in this video. Her students are going to sound ridiculous.
I am not entirely convinced by this new method of analyzing other people's work. Have they authorized you to use their videos? I preferred your past work.
She thinks she is a genius-level English teacher but she makes SO MANY mistakes. I feel bad for her students. Somehow, many of them think she is a native speaker.
every girl with a nice smile and pretty face thinks that this is enough to teach English, they don't understand the nuances as a native speaker does,, so stop wasting time learning poor English, let the girl find out a different way of being useful,, like cooking lessons maybe?
Some of these mistakes are massive. That is why you should learn from native speakers. Honestly it is offensive that someone who is not fluent in a language tries to teach it to others.
I really admire how patient Kevin is to find and correct all the mistakes. I would be freaking out if I did so.
👍👍👍❤❤❤

Who are "nonstandard" English speakers? You mean non-native speakers?
@onesandzeroes Actually, they are English native speakers who uses a different variety of English. It's different from SE.

Here in Brazil we called....
Até tú Geovana!!!!@🤣🤣
What about the fact that the Merriam-Webster dictionary recognizes various pronunciations of "yolk", particularly the ones with the nonsilent L?
I have no idea, but as a native speaker, I can tell you that you would sound ridiculous if you pronounced the "l" in yolk!

@@SWilliams-s3j Hello, may i know where you're from ?
@@rigelkent8828 Well you can go ahead and say it in that "nonstandard" way but people will correct you (and/or laugh at you).

She said 'over heart', but Kevin didn't notice it 😮 She didn't pronounce 'over hard' correctly.

The genious teacher very honest with his profession another great lesson with clear explanation
*genius 😀
Also, she will never admit when she is (frequently) wrong; hence the hilarious 'explanation' about "yolk" in this video. Her students are going to sound ridiculous.
Thanks Kevin. I saw measure used in the expression « for good measure « as a noun in that case
You are absolutely right!
And what about talk-walk-chalk? It's the same, you don't pronounce the L.
I am not entirely convinced by this new method of analyzing other people's work. Have they authorized you to use their videos? I preferred your past work.
I had no idea "Doneness" was a word 😂
Neither did I.
I can't find it in a dictionary either.
Vdiu hahaha I dont know why she pronounces the word video /vidiu

Only a native speaker could spot these mistakes 😮

Well.
Not only does she pronounce words wrongly but she also likes to lie.
Well, I would say she seems kind of arrogant.
No I think she is not anative speaker coz she pronounce every word with very strong pressed accent n most of the time wrong
