    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. 💚

    Never heard of this 'Gen Z' vocabulary before! I'm really grateful for this video lesson!
    So, I give it a try with some of them!
    1. Emma's way of teaching English slap, definitely!
    2. We all stan 'Pronunciation with Emma' channel!
    3. The humanity, genuinity and spontaneity in a teacher's voice is something that goes hard and makes us aware of the greatness hidden in that person! That's a part of what being a teacher, for me, is all about.
    4. - trying to create a new acronym 😂: "Emma is not only a W teacher; she's WWW, that stands for Wonderfully, Wittilly, Win"
    And about another one: W and I. They could stand for Win and Independent; 'cause the most important thing in life is when you give yourself - 'in primis' - and others the chance of doing something meaningful all your own and through big efforts. Doing something special being an independent person.
    You are inspirational.
    Thank you from an old lady (I mean a Gen X supporter) who still has the curiosity to learn from people like you!
    Keep it up!
    🙏

      Hi!! Native english speaker here! You're doing well, but here's some feedback to work with these sorts of slang terms even better:
      1. Emma's way of teaching English slaps. - You have to add the S on the end of "slap" since that's how the verb is conjugated to the third person singular present!
      Recall the form:
      I, you, we, he, you, they. Slap is correct for 5 of the 6, but if the subject (that which is doing the slapping) is third person singular (e.g. he, she, a single object, etc.) then it's slap*s*.
      2. You can either add an article or drop the name to make it shorter at the end. So it should be: "We all stan *the* 'Pronunciation with Emma' channel." OR "We all stan Emma's channel." (most native). In the first case, we add a "the" because the specific "Pronunication with Emma" channel is a definite person or thing - in this case, a channel with THAT specific name. Whereas in the second case we drop the "the" because it's not defined (just a channel that belongs to Emma - no specifics).
      3. You did it! All correct - although that has to be the politest way I've ever heard anyone use "goes hard" :)
      4. All correct here again! Although wittily is spelled with only one 'l'.
      Your English is really good! And slang is definitely hard to work with. Keep it up!

    I have an example for goes hard
    In cricket,, if a team is going to play a knockout game,, which can eliminate a them from the tournament, we say that
    "They're gonna go hard at the opponent side".
    Like there was a game in this world cup which was really important for Pakistan to win,, then we used it
    "Pakistan are gonna go hard at England "
    By the way the scenario was really difficult,IYKYK.

    Good vid! Thnx, keep slapping :D

    Btw I still have an ambiguity in my head about one of the contractions you used in the example of the slang "cap" and that's "No way she'd say that".
    I will appreciate it if you explain it here in the comments what's the full form and what does it mean.
