Bonjour James, pour commencer je veux vous féliciter et vous remercier pour vos vidéos sur la prononciation, vous êtes le seul professeur a expliqué de façon claire et intéressante la prononciation et qui n’est pas évident pour un débutant en anglais. Vous en avez compris l’importance et votre enseignement en est la preuve puisque c’est ce qui est le plus difficile pour un apprenant. Comprendre la prononciation et visualiser les mots est essentiel puisque ça nous permet de moins bloquer sur les mots. Je vous remercie également pour le professionnalisme qu’on reconnaît dans vos vidéos. Je suis débutante et je parviens à vous comprendre parce que vous prononcez très bien, vous répétez ce qui est important, vous employez beaucoup la visualisation, lettres de couleurs, etc. nous aide davantage, même les lettres prononcés par vous, nous permet de mieux comprendre parce que vous le faites en nous permettant de bien le voir. UNE QUESTION TRÈS IMPORTANTE POUR MOI : AVEZ-VOUS UN TRUC POUR SAVOIR OÙ SE SITUE LA SYLLABE DANS UN MOT, JE COMPRENDS QUE CERTAINS DICTIONNAIRE LE MENTIONNE (CAMBRIDGE, MAIS IL N’Y A PAS TOUS LES MOTS PARCE QUE LA DIVISION DES SYLLABES EN ANGLAIS EST DIFFÉRENTE DE CELLE EN FRANÇAIS, AURIEZ-VOUS QUELQUES RÈGLES? Je vous remercie pour votre enthousiasme et votre passion qu’on ressent; vous nous motiver vraiment à apprendre l’anglais. Je suis retraitée et votre enseignement est tellement de qualité que je vous écoute régulièrement, c’est un très bon passe-temps et un bon exercice pour la mémoire. Merci beaucoup!
OMG! I'm an ESL teacher in China and also a second language learner. You've explained the "ll" sound so clearly! It's a good idea to use "email" as an example to help students find dark l sound. Thank you sooooo much!
James, by far you are the very best there is out there. I have watch tons of videos and have learn much. But nothing can top your talent in teaching. Thank you for your dedication and articulation. From America!
I am finding these kinds of explanation on pronunciation. I really appreciate for your effort and eagerness trying to teach us. I am here rooting for your connected speech video. I can't say thanks enough to you 💜
You’re the best English teacher. Your videos are amazing. I couldn’t pronounce the word “world” until I watched your video. Thank you very much, Sir. I really appreciate your dedication.
Hello teacher James... This is from East Timor. You are great teacher for me. In my life I always thinking how I can pronounce English well. Finally I got teacher James in RUclips. I thank you greatly teacher James. God bless you.
an absolutely fantastic explanation for letter " L "pronunciation You are a perfect master and a gifted teacher, thank you and love so much indeed. You can't even imagine how difficult it is to understand and pronounce it for those who have the letter "L" and the sound is only I can't wait next video for La la la ... Letter "M" !
Hello dear professor I am from Algeria, let me tell you that i have been improving my English through your interesting method of teaching and excellent explanation,i do appreciate your job,i wish you peace and happiness under the sky of prosperity, let me inform you that in Arabic langue there is 2 L sound, Dark and Light and there is also The sound ( The) . All the best. Take care and have a good time.
You are an excellent teacher. I’ve seen many videos about pronunciation and this one amazed me. It is the first time I can actually see how the tongue moves inside the mouth clearly without getting confused 😊 great 😀
I repeat that this series of Eng. letters pronunciation is unique series for this channel of "Easy English with James. So ask Mr. James to continue the series to the end of the Eng. Alphabet THEREBY this series will be a unique trademark of his own channel.
This video is amazing and incredibly helpful which can solve my problem. I'm practiceing various L sounds while watching this💪 Thank you for sharing a best video❤😊
Thanks for this video. I appreciate your in-depth analysis and explanation of the dark l vs. the light l. I'm curious about a few things. The first is whether you make a similar distinction for the r. I'm an Orton-Gillingham practitioner and I was trained to teach that the r by itself makes a different sound than r after a vowel (r-controlled vowel) and it functions similarly to the light l in the way it transitions into a vowel sound. The second thing is that I've been teaching the schwa vowel sound, and I've noticed that the schwa with the dark l at the end is tricky and inconsistent when it comes to spelling and counting syllables. For example, I was taught that the consonant-le syllable is the only syllable type that doesn't have a vowel sound, but if you compare homophones like principal/principle, meddle/medal, pedal/peddle, or the suffixes -ical (musical, technical, etc.) vs. icle/acle (article/spectacle) this syllable type clearly does have a schwa vowel sound, it's just not spelled with a clear vowel indicating the schwa. Also, words like owl or foul seem to obviously have two syllables (the dark l creating the schwa vowel) especially when you compare the word owl to vowel. This is also tricky with the r after vowels in words like flour and flower. According to the way flour is spelled it would have one syllable, but it sounds like it has two. I'm thinking the sounds are more important in indicating how many syllables a word contains. Lastly, I like how you talked about how the l is silent when it comes after a vowel and before a consonant in the same syllable. The only exceptions I could think of were with patterns that have a long vowel followed by two consonants like old (gold), ild (wild), olt (bolt). In my search for answers, your video has come the closest so far to addressing these kinds of things. Thank you!
Hi. I am so thanks full about your useful teaching James .I like watching all of them and I also use them in my english class and my students .from Iran❤❤❤❤
All your videos are wonderful,amazing 🎉 it is very helpful to improve my pronounciation skils ,I do appreciate that thank you so much greetings from uae
Hello dear teacher ☺️ I waited everyday your new videos and finally you came back I,m so happy . Usually I waching English videos with subtitles but very very interesting all your videos I understand without subtitles you speak very clearly ,very understandly thanks a lot .I love your teaching method .Your all lessons useful for me .Dear teacher my English grammar is not very good. So I please excuse my mistakes .
The light L is pre-vowel L, eg law, lay, Lee, low, list. The tongue tip touches the alveolar ridge. The dark L is post-vowel L, eg all, ill, ale, old, elm. The tongue tip DOESN'T touch the alveolar ridge. If the tongue tip touches the alveolar ridge, it is not a dark L anymore. It becomes a light L.
Thank you so much for uploading this kind of stuff !!!! Hats off brother !!!!! May I know is it necessary to join ESL classes if we are willing to speak fluently
Hey there! I'm an English teacher and I'm all about getting moms to see the benefits of teaching their little ones English from a young age. I was wondering if I could have your permission to share your videos with my followers? And if it's cool with you, I'd love to translate them into my language before sharing. Thanks!
Hi James! I like ur English pronunciation videos, and it's really useful and helpful! I want you to make some videos like pronounce some English sentences and describe about their pronunciation rules and linking words. I hope you'll get what I'm saying lol
It's quite similar but not the same. In English dark L, the tip of the tongue is still on the alveoli but not on the teeth as Russian L. It doesn't sound like light L because the back of the tongue is also raised slightly. That's why it turns into light L easily in the connected speech. In live speech, the native English speakers never think over if L is followed by a vowel or not.
Please Mr james, can you do videos how to link words in sentences...I mean in conversation.... maybe it's called the rhythm. Whenever I search for this rhythm, I finds lots and lots in American English..but few videos in British English. Thank you in advance.

You're welcome!
The light L is pre-vowel L, eg law, lay, Lee, low, list.
The tongue tip touches the alveolar ridge.
The dark L is post-vowel L, eg all, ill, ale, old, elm.
The tongue tip DOESN'T touch the alveolar ridge.
If the tongue tip touches the alveolar ridge, it is not a dark L anymore. It becomes a light L.
Another best video from you, thank you so much from Canada.
Great lesson. When tall is in the superlative it is pronounced with a light l, right?

You're most welcome 🙏
The dark L in English is like usually L in Russian. Thank you for your videos 😊!
It's quite similar but not the same. In English dark L, the tip of the tongue is still on the alveoli but not on the teeth as Russian L. It doesn't sound like light L because the back of the tongue is also raised slightly. That's why it turns into light L easily in the connected speech. In live speech, the native English speakers never think over if L is followed by a vowel or not.
When Will you release your video on the topic" connected speech"?
Thanks a lot 🙏🎉 teacher.
Great and respect... from kurdistan
