Even though we are talking about REDUCING your accent in this video... HAVING an accent is not a bad thing! What part of your accent do you love most? Do any native English speakers complement your accent? What do they say?!! 😍
Emma ,do you have any online english course? I love your all video but I want to learn english in more details.sorry for my poor english...
mmmEnglish My own culture usually makes fun of my accent-as if I cannot speak correctly; and native speakers say I sound fine, but they can tell I have a different accent :/ -maybe the sound of my voice.
Thank you for your videos -I see where my problem is-the linking of the words ! Thank you again for all your help mmmEnglish. I will be practicing for sure..❤️🌹
I have an Arab and I have really good pronunciation but I only struggle with saying r softly. I basically say it like this: arrrr
hii
Thanks for the alert I always repeat this error because of the focus on learning French grammar.
And sorry for the linguistic and written errors.

I am addicted to your channel. Actually I bought one of your imitating course and I’ve been improving little by little. As you mentioned, It takes practice but practice makes perfect. Thank you so much for all the effort you make in order to help non-native speakers to improve our pronunciation. In three months I will do the Proficiency test so, If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Thanks Emma.
Im really struggling in pronouncing the words correctly. Im still way too far from learning, constructing and pronouncing the words properly but watching your videos helps me to understand more in English vocabularies. Thank you for sharing this wonderful and informative videos! May the Almighty Father blessed you always! ❤️

How do you know that you've "failed"? Is it becasuse it's too fast? Change the settings on the video to slow it down. Don't give up!
@@mmmEnglish_Emma thank you, I never give up, and waiting next your lesson ❤💜👍
thanks Emma. We have a big problem with communication
I hope his lesson helps you to work on your pronunciation at home! (More lessons like this to come soon!))
@@mmmEnglish_Emma Hey, Emma! Great lesson as always. Buuut.. in the sentence with "new assignment" (12:38) there's "vowel"+"vowel" situation, isn't it? [NjU][A]ssignment. Aaand, in that situation we should butt in a "w" sound, aren't we?
@@eugeneslim9108 there is a W sound at the end of New. Listen for it. Where did you you get nju from?
@@mmmEnglish_Emma thanks Emmmmmmmma,what does it mean:his room was.........s??
My favorite teacher! Hope to speak English more natural just like native speakers did...
My favourite teacher
Your videos are so great ! Thank you very much Emma. And I agree with you : this exercise to train to link consonant with vowel is addictive !!! and a fun exercise to warm up my voice before singing
you are perfect !! thank u so much.. your lessons are really useful and helpful.. thank u !!❤️❤️
From Brazil! You are amazing! In Portuguese we are acostumed to read all the letters of a word, I think this is the hardest part for us! Thx

Hello EMMA, we missed you,
You've changed my life by those amazing imitation lesson,
I've been following some good online teachers also but I'm in love of your accent & i feel your way of speaking so relaxed and so culm.
Thank you for todays lesson:)
Wow, thanks so much for your message, Kuntal! It's wonderful to know that my lessons are helping you to practise at home and improve your spoken English!
Dear Emma. I'm very pleased with all of your videos, I think that my English is better day by day. Thanks a bunch!!
It's a pleasure to introduce to someone who speaks English fluently, i want to improve my speaking skills.
7:43
when one word ends with consonant sound and the next word starts with vowel sound, we can push them together.
The two sounds come together.
so that they flow.
Am I right ?
I think this is very important. ^^
10:32

you're a good teacher, respected from china.
"Did you" from the second example that you've been given could be linked into didcha, is that correct? :)
right
Think you, dear teacher, for this great lesson; with an amazing manner of teaching. It is a heart made teaching lesson. I wish you more.
Thanks for your clear instructions on how you make the linking between words, very practical. not facilitate the listening comprehension, but also will sure to improve the speaking fluency. Very addicted to your video. Thank you for your patient instruction and vivid illustration.
Mmmm.....excuse me sorry for disturbing you Emma but I want to ask that what is skillshare.
I was confused with the linking of "new assignment" because I thought the word "new" ended in a vowel sound since "w" sounds like "u"
This is my Facebook 'Elhajjaji adil'
Thank you so much teacher. That video what I need to improve my English.
Hello Emma.
I am a Turkey citizen that who has got a grammar knowledge, which is between intermediate and upper intermediate. I am going to the university this year and although our lectures are completely English and although it is not that advanced English that they give us, just because of my goal of being an academician in Australia, I have decided to level up my listening and speaking(also naturally my pronunciation) skills to the top level that I can. As a result of that, I have started to watch English videos and follow only English channels on RUclips. I will be watching all of your videos on RUclips if I must(and other people's videos' too, of course). Keep up the good work!
I often hear linking in some of these: Hold-on, end-up, watch-out, catch-on, keep-it-up, kind-of, does-it, make-a, a-lot-of, on-a, Can you hold-on-a minute? ... etc.
Absolutely, Alexey! Phrasal verbs are a GREAT way to practise consonant-to-vowel linking because most verbs end in a consonant, and many prepositions start with a vowel! 🙌
Hi Emma, Good morning,how are you,
I will be waiting to the at
........o'clock
