Did you know that YT was initially a dating app with a video about yourself? That's why it's "you." But I didn't know about the "tube" part. Now we know the whole story. Thank you for the lesson.
I found out that I already pronounced all of them correctly. I used to doubt if my pronunciations were correct. Now, I am much more confident when I pronounce these brands.
Thank you so much Lisa for this videos teaching the correct pronunciation is really important. In Mexico, we need to learn how to pronounce all these words in a correct way. ❤
Hello my dear teacher, the meaning of Tube means the television, is very interesting for me, the television's old models used to be similar to the tyre tube
That was really helpful and fun. I have a quick question for you regarding the Nike , how do you explain the difference in pronunciation of same words, Bike, Mike, and Nike?
fortunately, I haven't got the whole pronunciations I must have to learn smart for this,fyi I 've fall in love to American accent and hopefully with my continually learning, it can take me there soon to reach out my futures oh God help me.
English is my second language but I’m very good at it and this video pretty much cements my belief in America lol 😂 i love the US of freaking A! Thank you for the video, you are doing a thankless service
Hello, Lisa A few years ago you recommended a dictionary in one of your videos. I have been looking for that particular video ever since; alas to no avail. Could you please refresh my memory and tell me what dictionary that was? Thank you; you long-long-time subscriber.
"Air" is related to "airline flight ticket" and "bnb" is "bed and breakfast" which is a private house that gives you a place to sleep and breakfast. I think this was the original goal of Airbnb.
You said the Twitter is a verb and a noun. It's incorrect. To twit is a verb, a Twitter is a noun. Later you proved it. But the explanation is good. Thank you.
Excellent insights into the American brands. But excuse me, something off topic. I am a non-native speaker of English. I have been troubled by the following usages of English: The nouns "equipment", "furniture" and "information" are not allowed to have the plural form although they look like countable nouns. If you type the word "equipments", "furnitures" or "informations" in a comment, you are immediately warned by the word processor by flagging them as errors. On the other hand, the supposedly uncountable nouns "water", "beer", "fire", "imagination", "desire", "frustration", "depression", etc. are not only allowed to have the plural form but also are usually used as the plural form. If you type these nouns as the plural form, they are accepted by the word processor. My question for any English expert out there: Are there any reasons why certain nouns are not allowed as the plural form while others which are uncountable are used in the plural form? Is English dictated by the native speakers that non-natives can't do much but strictly follow what the natives do with English? Thank you.
"Furniture”, “information” and “equipment”are words that represent a concept that contain many different types of subcategories. For example,furniture includes tables, chairs, etc. In other words, furniture, (as well as, information and equipment) is a collection of items, and is therefore used in the singular form. “Water”, “beer”, “fire” are uncountable nouns that are in the form of a ‘single’ mass. Therefore, these words are used in the singular form. However, we can still use “waters” to indicate different water types. Likewise, “fires” when referring to different instances of fire.
@@躺平吧-e9t Thank you for the expla(i)nation. But if the plural form means different types of things, then the same argument can be used for furniture, equipment and information, and therefore these 3 nouns can have the plural form. The problem with English, I think, is its inconsistency. The same rule can't be applied to all things. The same rule will be bent to suit different things or occasions.
@@eugenec7130 Spot on! Languages have inexplicable rules and exceptions. Among the very few languages I am struggling to learn, the Japanese language has the most exceptions. All we need to do is to memorize them by heart. Besides grammar rules, collocations and counter words (Asian languages have special counter words to quantify nouns) all have developed over time their own internal logic that become preserved over time yet can seem asynchronous next to changes that language takes on as speakers change how they use the language over time. I imagine that in the future, there may be many people who use "informations" because they analogize pluralization usages from other words, but would still resist describing multiple kinds of furniture as "furnitures" because they stick to past norms. Right now in my country, there is a conscientious shift towards using "peoples" as a plural to describe how populations hold many demographics of people that can't all be described as one group. "People" is already the pluralization of 'person', but because there are some people who don't think that it describes enough pluralization, have pushed to pluralize it even more!
Thank you very much for this interesting lesson about correctly pronunciation of American brands., teacher Lisa! Greetings from Mexico!

No, I didn’t know about the “you” part. Thank you for that insight.
Not a dating app, but a university app
I found out that I already pronounced all of them correctly. I used to doubt if my pronunciations were correct. Now, I am much more confident when I pronounce these brands.

Hello, Lisa
A few years ago you recommended a dictionary in one of your videos.
I have been looking for that particular video ever since; alas to no avail.
Could you please refresh my memory and tell me what dictionary that was?
Thank you; you long-long-time subscriber.
Hi there :) I think you must be talking about the Merriam-Webster's Advanced Learner's English Dictionary
Thank you for the great video! Amazon was the trickiest one. I thought the o letter was pronounced as a schwa sound.
Hello Ma'am.. Watching from the Philippines..
Time flies with yr videos ❤
Thank you very much for this awesome lesson. I wonder if Amazon river and Amazon online shopping company are pronounced the same.
As far as I know, they have the same pronunciation.
So accurated lesson

Yes, that's the pronunciation I want to know.
pronounced as "link", then reduce the "ed", finally, link up the "k" sound to "in". That comes up to "linkin"
Thanks, very kind
Good luck dear 🥰🌸

Twitter is also a verb. You can say "the birds twittered" or "were twittering".
