    Thank you very much for this effort! just to comment that there is a massive difference in pronunciation and also in mispronunciation between Spanish from Europe and the one from Latin America, as the accents diverge dramatically from one another. I guess in Latin America we straggle more with th and v words, having a different entonation. Please carry on with this amazing job!

    26:20 Indonesian people speak regional dialects and of course Standard Indonesian, which we learn at school. Therefore, to many of us, Standard Indonesian is our second language. Ina, the Indonesian female speaker of the audio recording, has a Javanese accent. Not all Indonesians speak like this. But, it is right that Standard Indonesian and our regional dialects belong to syllable-timed languages. We stress every word with the same strength and with the same length. We are not accustomed to pronounce sentences of any stress-timed languages, except for Classical Arabic...which has been introduced to many of us since we were very young at school or late every afternoon at mosques or Quran-learning places.

    uh so shuh tive
    so juh tive (they say it fast and, uh is unhearable and shuh becomes more like juh, can you recognize it easily if i mimic native speakers this way, because i mimic to learn)

And not talking about "perfect" people, nobody is, innit? it's obvious that you was training too to put your tongue in a way that will produce those southern sounds. And that's great.

      Teacher Emma, honestly, I've seen it in one of the videos by a lady "English Teacher" (not Teacher Emma). I was and still am very interested in those symbols. There are numerous exciting videos on English Learning. It was, regretfully, careless of me not to take note of this particular video. Teacher Emma, what are names of the symbols (are they dated ones)? Honestly, again, I did post my request for an explanation on the said symbols. I don't have the faintest idea how my post disappeared. (Probably, my finger has made a mistake when pressing the "send arrow symbol". However, I did checked and seen my comment posted in your video. Anyway, you are the cutest English Language Teacher on RUclips up to now. I hope to see you frequently!

      I don't understand the symbols you are asking, sorry. Your question isn't clear WHICH symbols you specifically mean.

      Teacher Emma, the symbols or vowels are (1) /he:/ (2) /'. 'letters'/ in example (1) what's it? In example (2) why.an astrophe and full stop or period within the strokes? Out of t he two examples (1) & (2), example (2) has appeared a few times in one English Language lesson alone, regretfully, not downloaded! They seem to be meaningful to me but I haven't the faintest idea.
