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. 💚
What an amazing report!
I can yet understand the reasons why you are the kind of good teacher you are.
Continue being yourself, keep being happy teaching us, and best wishes, Emma!
i'm very happy you decided to start your channel here on RUclips because i love all your videos. you are so lovely to watch and i especially love how you don't pull any punches when you are expressing how you feel about something, i love the raw honesty :-)
I was preparing for my University education in the UK at York St. John's and I'm really really glad that I watched this video without even missing a second. Thank you very much for the information, it was really very helpful.
You're a great teacher.
Go on!
Emma, thank you for sharing your experience at universities in the UK. It was quite interesting. In Japan, there are also a lot of arguments on the university ranking. I think most of the indices used for the evaluation rely on the visible outcomes like the number of publications, the scale of budget income, and so on. I personally believe the caring for the students in various senses should be the priority, even it is hard to evaluate by numerical indices. I am glad to hear your honest opinion. It was a really good reminder for me, as a lecturer in a university (I never recommend using Google in my class, though). By the way, your RP videos are quite helpful to set my Japanese-English tongue right. I'll keep watching.
I like your video so much especially your speaking. It's so many helpful and clear that you really motivate me so much. I can't help but appreciate you. You are one the most wonderful person I have ever seen.
Hello Emma ! Ilisten to you every day since I heard you .Thank you !
Hi Emma, I really appreciate your content! Please keep it up. Thank you.
You are hardworking, you deserve the best. I really enjoyed your video. It motivates me to move forward on my studies.
Thanks very much, I feel that we have the same experience with some teachers and classmates. It's very important never give up.
thanks for sharing your experience, Emma !
I absolutely learned a lot of your life. like your haunted childhood experience, how you become a RUclipsr and your universities stories. Thanks so much for sharing Emma. I really enjoyed to heard all about that.
Time passed so fast I watch 30 minutes but I feel like just 10 minutes. Because your life experience is absolutely great.
Cheers 🍻
Emma, you can't imagine how much I understand you! I've studied English teaching in Argentina for free (yes! our universities are FREE) but that makes teacher treat students as if we were less than nothing... A student life can be amazing in some aspects but at the same time so miserable in others! It's a good but difficult experience.
Your videos are inspiring, go on with your channel!
Greetings from Argentina!
Well . After all we pay a price... Not money in these cases. Many English teachers are mean in our country it seems.
I love your smile Emma and you smile all the time when you talk. That’s a fun British teach I’ve ever seen 🙂🤣
She is the best storyteller and podcaster!
Enjoy her storytelling
Thank u for sharing your experience at universities in the UK, and thank u again for being honest about universities in the UK. and I wish the best for your life.
Thank you so much for your wonderful sharing of your yesteryears about your educational journey trials and tribulations .:) As a matter of fact you've made a power move to start RUclips channel instead of pursuing PHD if you will. As far as teaching English online goes, you have what it takes to be a good English teacher and l believe that so wholeheartedly. You surmounted all the impossible and reach this far, you must be very proud of yourself. The sky is the limit. All the best Emma! 👍💪💖
Emma, I am so glad that you started your youtube channel because you wouldn't have made this video if you hadn't. It was really great to learn about your university experience. I didn't go to university because the degree I took after I gratuated was still in high school in my city. So no big changes for me. You have so great experience in both your universities and in Spain. It was very great to listen to you during those 30 minutes. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thank you for sharing your tremendous experience about studying in UK.
Hi Emma, I loved the way you spoke and your smile.
Hola Emma Thank U so much for your video, U are a strong woman who pursues her goals despite the difficulties.
You are an honest person, it’s not easy to meet someone like u nowadays.
I’m sorry for your not good experience in Spain at the beginning..
I was sick of vertigo psychogenic for stress I understand your bad experience wit this illness.
Thank U for telling us your experiences at the University.
U are a successful woman, your number of subscribers are growing very fast , U are a famous RUclipsr now,
I want to apologize for my long comment, I promise U this is the last one so long.
Hasta Pronto!
Muchas Gracias
Wow thanks for sharing your experiences
You are the best, I like so much the way you talk.
I love so much this journey that it is learning English.
Awww...I love you so much, especially your voice, it's really beautiful
Very good vlog Emma. Well done for achieving both degrees. I guess we all go through good and bad experiences at Uni, but it's a place to learn from people in general as well as form solid grounds for our career. I would like to listen to you speaking simple sentences in Spanish and Portuguese if you don't mind. Also, why Portuguese? I joined your channel very recently and learnt so much about pronunciation since. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks for your help and God bless you 🙌
I have videos on my Instagram page from ages ago of me speaking Spanish and Portuguese. :) I started learning Portuguese simply because I liked the sound of the language. Also, each year I learn a brand new language! So for 2020 it’ll be something different! 😄 It just helps me understand my students more and get to know the problems that certain language speakers may have when learning English.
Thanks for sharing your experiences..
Hello Emma, I've been watching your video carefully and I've found it extremely interesting! First of all congratulations for your videos, you 're a fantastic teacher, you know how to keep people's attention alive, your pronunciation is very clear and your style informal and pleasant. I know what it means to be a teacher as I used to be a teacher myself! And also I know what it means suffering from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo as I experienced it three times in these last five years…..We've got two things in common, haha! But I want to tell you my age, as I think I'm the oldest of your followers, I'm 71 and still motivated to improve my English! All the best and thank you!
Haha! I’m glad to have a follower with such life experience! Sorry to hear about your vertigo too... three times?! That’s crazy. Once was enough for me. 😅
The best teacher ever!
Thanks for sharing your experiences at Uni. Sorry to hear about the bad ones, but in the end all of us have to go through that anyway and that extends for life. So, you ended up being a youtuber? Of course not. In reality you became an exceptional teacher, so much better than some you once had. We've gained an exceptional source of learning. So cute, so adorable. Keep it up!
I found you a while back.And the first day when I was watching your vedios, I fallen in love with your teaching gestures.Really your teaching style is as beautiful as yours.. I am not so good in english but I think your vedios will be very helpful not only for me but aslo others.Keep me in your prayers so that I will be a good english speaker.Afterall ,thank you so much for helping us by sharing your vedios..
*I appreciated so much this report about your academic experiences, and l tell you: thanks and congratulations, and be so luck too, lol !!!*
There is a lot of beautiful teacher in the world you are one of them. the way you explain it priceless and your lovely voice awesome.
Hello Emma
I love your video, I love your accent and I love your smile. Thank you for all
Awesome thanks for amazing information
Life's made of experiences and going through these tough situations at the university allowed you to fathom better what makes people happy, not always is having a degree or a master's degree at your fingertips, but instead of that, fighting against all odds getting out of the mainstream to work on what makes you happy. I know before you start up on RUclips, it would be safer for you, having a backup plan just in case, and I think that's the right thing to be done. I do like Whenever you tell these stories because there's a lot of new structures of words to learn.
Thanks for sharing. Sheffield University has the same system for the exam though. During 9 months, we've had 12 exams plus 12 corse works. We've got only 2 months for the dissertation and it has to be 120 pages. We were incredibely under pressure. Bth, I've done my MSc in Civil and structural engineering.
Thank you, Utuber! 😄😄😄 It was lovely to listen to your story. We are also very happy that you have ended up in our loop-hole as an English teacher. Ms. Utuber..😄😄😄
Yes! I guess if I’d had a fantastic experience and enjoyed academics I wouldn’t be here right now making videos! I’d be writing papers and reading academic journals 😂
Yes, Life is unpredictable.
This is gold! I'm very keen on education system in other countries
Yeyyyy Story time . I love It. 😊
While listening ur University experience,my University life came before my eyes. I am also English Literature student
I like your storytimes 😌. To be honest, I couldn't understand british accent at first but now I'm training myself with your videos, and guess what? I'm proud of myself because I'm able to understand you more than when I started to follow 😌 you. Thank you for teaching us and also for making videos 🥺 like this.
Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽 😁 ✌️
That’s fantastic! You’re a perfect example of how practising can help train your ear 😄
Emma, you are very brave and smart.. Bravo!
Emma it's uncanny how similar our academic experience is.. i also studied a year abroad (Erasmus) at the University of Bristol; 'm from the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa (the 3rd best uni in Africa mind you haha), and now I'm planning om doing my MBA at York St John 😊. Thanks for sharing, so excited to be graduating in the UK with an official degree.
How similar, yes!! You’ll have an amazing time at YSJ. I wish I could turn the clock and go back. I’ve even been considering doing another masters there or a PhD. I just want to go back!
Hi Emma☺
I really like the end how you explain why you preferred to focus on your youtube channel than continue doing a PhD degree. That is so explain sincerely and with smile. I like it so much. Personaly my experience at French University was also not simple. And I think you are good at teaching whatever in classroom or on RUclips. You make us,learners, very passionate and interested in learning English ☺.
Thanks for your time. I wish you go on and move on helping us foreign learners to progress. I really enjoy improving my English skills with you☺best wishes Laurent from southwest of France.
Thank you :)
thank you for sharing
Beautiful teacher
Wonderful video my sister 👍
I have 5 little grandchildren now living in Tokyo. I found your English Teaching style just weeks ago. I know Kids will learn from a teacher they like. I will refer your Channel to their parents first and subsequently to them. Btw, around from track 23:00 mins you almost got emotionally teary. In the later part I laugh as you revealed you wanted to become a RUclipsr. I’m a serious person seldom laugh, except to my family and relatives but today I laughed alone. I think that RUclips needs a lot of people like you. Grateful here.
I love your way of speaking and love your spirt and your sense of humor...
one day I will go to UK and I have a cup of tea and a good conversation with you..
I wish the best for you..
I envisage that if we were ever to meet, we'd strike a solid friendship. I like the way you say things so uncompromisingly.. Keep at being yourself. I use English at my work. You are such good help!
Just finished watching. Thanks for sharing. You have an absolutely fantastic journey when you were a student. And I always complain about my university😅. it's like all the people always like to complain about their own university but they don't really want to hear other people judge their university in negative way. hahaha, That's very interesting.😜
That’s true 😂
18:58-19:09 THE WAY YOU DID THE MIMCRY EMMA JI😆❤❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When you share this story on Instagram last night .it's really inspired
Story telling method n continuous speaking izz a good method 👏 👌
Very informative
nice story! and very funny as well... specially the part which you decided not going for a PhD ....the way you told it was so so funny.
Wow.... You are so appealing teacher!!! 🍒 Greetings from greetings from 🇲🇽
Hi Emma ☺
I ve just read and understood how to work the studies in UK. First you have the undergraduate that allows to get a bachelor's degree after 3 years, then you have the postgraduate to get a Master's degree after 1 and 2 years, finally if you are ready again😅you have the PhD degree after 3 years☺
Therefore, studies are similar to France, we have actually the same degrees in French universities.
It is quite a few different in the French engineer schools which are the most prestigious studies. The students get an engineer degree after 5 years either in sciences or business, finally if they want to continue they can also get a PhD degree in University after 3 years😅
I hope I haven't been boring to you but I would wish to share about studies with you😉
Thanks for your time ☺
Hello Emma, when I was listening to you I remembered what happened to me when I was studying abroad in Poland two years ago it was really hard for me to live with some girls as roommates that do not respect other culture and they were trying to make fun of me just because I have a different opinion but what relieves it was the stuff in my University that were helpful and professors were wonderful except one tutor who hated my hijab but in general polish people were friendly and I really appreciate every single favor do to me of them.
Yes, culture clashes definitely happen and it’s frustrating when they do! I feel for you. Some people are just so ignorant and intolerant towards other cultures and believe their culture is more superior and as a result believe that everything else is weird or wrong. It’s sad as these people leave university and end up being ignorant and arrogant adults. I’m glad you at least enjoyed the university! :)
I had the same problem with a roommate from Montenegro during my Erasmus experience in Lithuania. At first, she was nice and we kind of got along but when the classes started, she changed her behavior. I was studying full time and she's got just some random classes afternoon. It was so unfair when I wanted to rest for the next day, she started to chat via Skype with her family very loud or left the lights on. Her friends would visit her every day, and stare at me watching what I had been doing. I almost was deprivated from any privacy. It was horrible. So when it became possible, I asked the admin to move in other empty room, anyway I was paying for it. Because of the upcoming winter holidays and thanks to teachers understanding, we finished earlier and passed all the exams in the beginning of December. Last two months I lived like a Queen in double room, just me) I enjoyed so much my vacation. I explored the city and had so much fun. This was the best time in my life ❤️. I regret just only thing, I couldn't extend my studies for one more semester. I was pity.
I appreciated so much this content and It gave me a different perspective about education around the world. I live in Peru and I am studying here. I could tell you that education in Latin America assimilates education in Spain. That is, the teachers spill a lot of information to you and they notify that the exam will be in two weeks.
Ahhh!! Exams exams exams. It’s too much and I hardly remembered anything 😖
Emma....everywhere is the same experience. Even I could visualise my day s in Pune University Pune, India
You are my good teacher
Thank you for sharing a little of your life, I believe all the experiences we live are good or bad, they teach us something, I hope you always have reason to smile, I laughed when you said you want to be Yutuber 😂😂, and actually you are doing a great job congratulations ,Your Chanel is great 🙋🏼♀️💻🇬🇧.. and 😱16 thousand words.. OMG I couldn't write so many words 😂😂
Haha thank you 😄
Oh my god. When you said how ill you were only because of your University's treatment, I was going to weep. It is horrible how one of the "Best" Universities over the world treats students. Greetings from Mexico.

Hi Emma! I'm Mina from Italy. I'm considering doing a MA in Applied Linguistics with Tesol in uk (still not sure where). My idea was choosing the part-time option, like you did, because I wanted to find a little job while studying. But having listened to your experience, I'm not so sure about it. What do you think? Thanks
It’s completely up to you and what you personally can handle. But best of luck with whatever you decide to do ☺️
Well, I'm glad you decided to do RUclips rather than a Ph.D. haha! My friend went for a Ph.D after we got done with TESOL, but I told myself, I'm DONE! No more school; I need $ instead! lol
😂 I swr we need to make back the money we spent on university.
wow just was unbelievable history the life university, is nearly the same but most of us come of universities where is free, where we have had frustrations and happiness.
Hey Emma ..I want you to do pronunciation video on words like ,1) opportunity
2) important
3) schedule
Something like this ...bcuz this will help us to get rid of our American accent ...plz make a video on this
A pattern I'm seeing in uni vlogs: big-name unis coming up short for student support, and smaller unis acing it. Cathedral Group unis seem highly praised when it comes to support: considering most of them started as teacher training colleges founded by churches, maybe good pastoral care was in their DNA from the start.
Emma, is there this English saying that "A picture is worth a thousand words". If yes, then you could have just put a few pictures there and your dissertation is done. Just kidding. I can feel that you are very proud of your work. Thanks for sharing your university experience. Glad that you have chosen to be a RUclipsr. It is a loss to the university but a gain for all of us, your subscribers.
My best teacher
Emma, you had a gorgeous university life.I wish I were you.
Hi, I am from India I remembered my Collage Days from your university experience, I also had to struggle a lot and there was no support from anywhere.
That’s a shame :(
@@Pronunciationwithemma not unheard of though
Wow, just found your posts. On this subject, i had lecturers who were paid for nothing more than reading off a prompt , couldn't use the technology and hadn't prepared. Others were excellent . But ,yes, it's shocking how some are expecting to get in and out, and leave you to it......few are invested in what they do.
I think a lot of them care more about getting paid to research as opposed to lecture students 🤔
Your smile is soooooo gorgeous 😃
Thank you so much for expressing your thoughts and sharing your experience!! In regards to student life, how was it at YSJ? I'm considering studying there for a master's in counseling and was also wondering how much support do you receive from faculty there?
From the linguistics department, they were the best.
However, I found admin staff to be lazy and not care much for students. But I received that kind of treatment at Bristol University too.
@@Pronunciationwithemma thank you for your feedback
@@Pronunciationwithemma I've started working there in administration and can assure you I'm committed to students
Thank you for sharing this vital information. I’m planning on going to the UK to finish out my last 2 years of education as an American international student. This was extremely insightful and helpful.
Universities in mind:
Liverpool hope university
Liverpool John Moore’s university
Newcastle university
Nottingham university
If you have any insight on these universities can you make a video on it
I know nothing about them but best of luck :)
The way you speak, it seems to me that you have lovely facing impression for acting.I am preparing myself for masters in London.Would you recommend any university from there which is very good at mba or msc on management.I wish to meet you for having such incredible way of teaching.Apart from that i become surprised how other girls from your first year of university were to bitchy with you, because when you smile circumstance lighten with love😍.
Thank you! :) haha
As for universities, I really couldn’t suggest any, sorry. Try looking on The Student Room for suggestions or UCAS (the application website for undergraduate degrees).
Hi Emma, this was a really great and informative video. I'm starting university in September and am nervous about the whole socialising aspect - I would consider myself to be quite reserved and was just wondering whether this would pose as a notable hinderance in a university setting. I've decided to live at home and make the hour commute daily as I'm far more comfortable at home. Would be interesting to hear your opinion.
Just be yourself! You’ll make friends within freshers week that you’ll have for the rest of your life and have an amazing time there! I’m sure! 💚
@@Pronunciationwithemma Thank you that means alot! :)
Hy bro,how is the uni,iam planning to apply to this uni for pursuing mba,can i ?
Hey! I had a few more questions regarding masters at YSJ....could I connect with you?
Hi Emma, thank you for sharing your college life. It's interesting and inspiring. However, i feel a little bit down cause I have to spend 5 years (normally 4 years) to finish my bachelor degree. I am an English Literature student and I consider to get my master in the UK. Is it okay if I take TESOL for my postgraduate while I take literature in my undergraduate?
You are so strong despite your complex problems. Bristol is so disappointing yet i consider to apply there. I'm lucky to watch your video. Million thanks Em.
Yes! Should be fine.
@@Pronunciationwithemma thank you for your reply. Wish youu luck with everything
Beautiful Teacher ,I would like to study with this channel
You got both the fantastic and terrible experience.
But the way u share your experience, i really enjoyed the whole.
I totally agree about the overpriced rental of graduation gowns / hats. It's not worth the money at all but you have no choice as you have to wear it at the ceremony! University in general is ridiculously overpriced, I'm just glad that you only have to pay it back in small pieces if you earn above a certain amount after graduating.
thanks
Thanks
Hello Emma my fivere teacher i'm frome Algéria i like your vidéo well ❤👍
Hi Emma☺I have a question again. You had three years to get your master degree in UK? In France the master degree is a five-years diploma before the PhD degree which is a 8-year diploma. In UK the master degree is it a 3-year diploma and not a 5-year diploma ?
Thanks for your time ☺
It's 1 year for a masters in England, but I took it part-time so it was spread over 2 years.
I like you very much.Your pronanciation is very nice.Your laughing is Marvelous. I love you very much.
I'm from spain and I'm really surprised by your experience, where did you spent your erasmus?
Tarragona!
Nice personal experience :) thanks for sharing it. :) By the way... was this Spanish University a south one?
It was in Catalonia. :)
Would you blend letters in along lesson, 2letters and 3letters
that thing about spooning information to you and exams every month i completely understand as it is like that and even worse with us😂(studying medicine)
Super speech
Right now iam an university student. I had passion in my eyes and I really loved what I would study BUT everything crushed as soon as I got there , cause tutors don’t really explain anything , they ask ask ask and assume that we know everything, and lots of homework’s but they don’t really make any effort to teach us like really teach. The beginning of the video when u mentioned about that teacher that told u to use google , ohhh I relate so much, and I hate it. I only want to run away from there, I feel like it’s just a waste of time and money. I feel so disappointed😭😢😢😢
What's the general perception in the UK of lower ranked universities? Such as YSJU?
It depends on the course. For example, YSJ is fantastic for sports science, education, and linguistics (the linguistics department was the top of the list for student satisfaction when I was there). In general though, employers only really care about where your degree is from if you study subjects such as law, medicine, veterinary science, etc. (I say this very generally, as some employers may not care). I wouldn’t worry too much about it. YSJ is great and you’re going to have an amazing time there.
To people who went here(York St. John’s). Have you had good opportunities after finishing your degree? Also do you feel you have been chosen over someone else because you attended this university. Cheers
Most people I know who went to uni have pretty decent jobs. It depends what you study. I went to Bristol uni and found that they made no effort to help with work and volunteering opportunities, but YSJ really pushed that and encouraged students to study abroad, do extra curricular activities, and volunteer. During my degree, if you didn’t study abroad, you were given a short unpaid work placement as part of one of your modules for some experience. If you study linguistics now you can also take the CELTA and become a qualified English as a foreign language teacher. The CELTA course on its own is about £1500 so if you want to teach, it’d definitely recommend it.
Omg, I loved that strong introduction... It was great.
💚
Hi, Emma! Didn't quite get what you've studied at York St.John?
BA Honours English Language and Linguistics
❤️❤️
I have a question. You said that only "red brick" universities are needed to be seen. Is York st John one of those universities? Sorry for my English 😁
Nope, it’s not, but Bristol University is :)
Thumbs up for sure, nice video....If i may ask a question and if you may suggest...I live in Canada, and i want to take the online MBA course at York St John. Is the university recognized or is accredited? Sorry if i ask a bad question, but I would like to know what you think....thanks so much.
Of course it is! It’s a fantastic uni!
@@Pronunciationwithemma thanks for the reply Emma...But this is online with the Robert Kennedy College, then the degree is granted from York St john University...Heard of them at all..sorry my question mark doesnt work lol on my keyboard as of now.
