how’s my pronunciation please record
yours too okay so I can check your
pronunciation as well let’s have a look
do you like to spend time with your
friends why I like these voice messages
they make answering these questions very
easy do you like to spend time with your
friends why the pronunciation wasn’t bad
I could understand him
but his native language is Hindi and for
Hindi the tongue position tends to be a
bit further back in the mouth producing
these quite hard consonant sounds so my
advice to you would be try modeling your
pronunciation on a native English
speaker also be aware that the tongue
position is quite different it’s more
down it’s more relaxed try some YouTube
pronunciation tutorials okay let’s find
some questions about the UK Tom Barrios
from Mexico is asking how are people in
England they happy nice serious spot
yeah we’re okay
we don’t great we’re not bad but give us
a beer and we’ll be your best friend I
am alone asks how is the weather like in
London these days you don’t even need to
ask this question
everyone knows always assume it’s
raining and sunny and windy and hot and
cold all in the same day when you come
to London you need to be prepared for
every type of weather in one day okay
Firdos Gaz me one is asking what’s the
difference between however and
henceforth and used to and accustomed to
oh this is an interesting question
okay however that is another word for
but I wanted to go out however I don’t
like being social henceforth is
completely different
it doesn’t mean but henceforth means
from now to the future
for example I’m leaving my job
henceforth I no longer work here but
it’s quite old-fashioned so today we
don’t really use it today I don’t think
I’ve heard it or seen it outside of a
contract or legal stuff so however
henceforth completely different meanings
used to and accustomed to I see where
the confusion is this question happens a
lot in my classes okay
first used to talks about a past habit
past regular action which doesn’t happen
now I’ll give you an example I used to
smoke now I don’t past action now it’s
different
don’t confuse that with be used to with
be used to living in London I am used to
this crazy weather
this means this weather it’s normal for
me it’s not strange it’s not different I
am accustomed to it that’s where the
confusion is accustomed to is the same
as be used to doing something or to be
used to a noun
mixed Nadeem Curnow 703 is asking how do
you pronounce haughty give me a huge I
think he means hug haughty give me a hug
don’t say that to a girl if you like a
girl be respectful be yourself don’t say
haughty give me a hug you people often
ask me what should I say to a girl or a
guy who I really like don’t say haughty
give me a hug
compliment her hair she probably worked
very hard to get it just right like I
would know or shoes everyone likes a
shoe compliment rauch an r/a 369 is
asking how do you say this in English I
am gone is it right or wrong please
explain if you’re completely drunk then
you might say I’m gone I’m gone it means
you’re dead you can’t do anything but I
don’t think you mean that if you want to
say I’m not here anymore I’ve moved to a
different place you should say I have
left okay
Mars Capello wants his pronunciation
checked okay my brother my sister and
like watching Harry Porter grammatically
it should be my brother my sister and I
like watching Harry Potter the reason is
you don’t say me like watching Harry
Potter grammatically it should be the
subject pronoun first right so I like
watching
but pronunciation was great except for
the word Potter it sounded a little bit
unnatural dude
very good pronunciation the only thing I
would change is the Oh sound in Potter
the way you said it was a bit too long
it sounded like Porter should be pata
pata very short sound otherwise very
good well that was really fun if you
like that video please give it a thumbs
up remember to subscribe to my channel
and I see you in the next class bye
