The one thing that makes the biggest difference for my students speaking English is also the
0

5750
00:05
hardest thing to teach and to learn, and that makes it kind of frustrating.
1
5910
4580
00:10
But today, we're talking about placement, we're taking it apart, we're going there.
2
10490

00:17
Today, I’m working with a student and you're going to see the tips and tricks that I give
3
17833
4637
00:22
her to lower her placement.
4
22470
1700
00:24
Now, I’ve been teaching pronunciation for years, and in the past month, I’ve learned
5
24170
5760
00:29
something that's totally new even to me, and that's another tip to help lower placement.
6

00:35
The other night, I was filming a video and it reminded me of a live class that I taught
7
35950
4100
00:40
a couple months ago, and I went bam in my mind, I realized it.
8
40050
4350
00:44
No, I wasn't filming it, I was editing it, and as I was right here focusing on the reduction
9
44400
4729
00:49
of the word was, I realized reductions help lower placement.
10
49129
5360
00:54
So we're going to see an excerpt from a live class where I started to get it.
11
54489
4370
00:58
I'm teaching a woman named Karen, she's Dutch, she has very good English, but we're working
12
58859
4071
01:02
on placement, and also on reductions.
13
62930
3130
01:06
If the word placement is completely new to you, it basically means where in the body
14
66060
5080
01:11
the voice vibrates.
15
71140
1220
01:12
In American English, we have a low placement.
16
72360
3040
01:15
Aahhh.
17
75400
1150
01:16
And other languages have a higher placement often more here, aaah, aaah, but our core
18
76550
5950
01:22
feeling uhhh is lower and that has to do with the neck and the pitch.
19
82500
4880
01:27
-Okay, so you know what vocal cords, you've heard that term?
20
87380
3020
01:30
-Yes, yes.
21
90400
1000
01:31
- Yes, okay, so we have these two mucousy membranes.
22
91400
3430
01:34
The air blows up, they vibrate, and that's what makes ah, a sound.
23
94830
5500
01:40
And we can't change that; that's involuntary.
24
100330
4630
01:44
But what we can change is the voice box around it, and pushing it forward, pulling it back,
25
104960
5180
01:50
lifting it up, lifting it down, and then that affects the shape of the inside of our neck.
26
110140
6380
01:56
And other languages, each language has its own specific neck shape, how we hold our muscles
27
116520
6850
02:03
to produce the core sound.
28
123370
2140
02:05
And in American English, I think that most students need to focus on opening and lowering,
29
125510
6770
02:12
and that changes the shape of the neck in a way that brings the formants down which
30
132280
5640
02:17
makes everything sound placed lower.
31
137920
2520
02:20
If you're watching this and you're thinking, I want to learn more about that, the anatomy
32
140440
3950
02:24
of the voice, what can affect placement, check out my video, the number one accent trick.
33
144390
5950
02:30
We go so deep on anatomy and placement and something called formants which can affect
34
150340
6410
02:36
the sound.
35
156750
1560
02:38
Our vocal cords and our voice box, if it starts to lift up, or
36
158310
4380
02:42
push forward, or pull back, which it might when we're tense, or when we're feeling nervous,
37
162690
5220
02:47
that that is going to negatively impact the overall sound.
38
167910
3190
02:51
And, for some people, it makes it sound really nasal and high, and for other people it's
39
171100
5100
02:56
more subtle, like for you it makes it sound more proper in a way that's a little old fashioned.
40
176200
5890
03:02
Again, not negative, but just sort of different than the way an American would probably present.
41
182090
7270
03:09
An American would speak with a lower pitch, and they would have those
42
189360
3110
03:12
lower vibrations.
43
192470
1270
03:13
Okay, to sound more natural speaking English, you want lower placement.
44
193740
5240
03:18
How do we get that?
45
198980
2470
03:21
Tip one is actually lower your pitch.
46
201450
2670
03:24
Hi, my name is Karen, hi, hi, and then try lowering It, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, my name is
47
204120
7980
03:32
Karen, and just See, with lowering the pitch, What that feels like.
48
212100
5330
03:37
Probably the lower you go, hi, my name is Karen, hi.
49
217430
4180
03:41
Obviously you're not going to speak there, but you should go there and practice to see
50
221610
5280
03:46
and sense what is changing in your throat.
51
226890
2510
03:49
And what you'll find, the lower you go, is that you have to really feel like your throat
52
229400
5240
03:54
is getting wide, and that's sort of the feeling that you want even when you're not speaking
53
234640
6970
04:01
that low.
54
241610
1150
04:02
so you can pretend, you can play with speaking really low, to sort of discover what that
55
242760
5800
04:08
does to your throat, and then try to keep that open feeling as you bring your pitch
56
248560
4980
04:13
up to something that's a little bit more natural.
57
253540
2620
04:16
One question I get asked a lot is when I practice my throat starts to hurt, is that okay?
58
256160
6130
04:22
Someone is saying, "Does it hurt when you lower your pitch?"
59
262290
4180
04:26
It doesn't, and it shouldn't, but if it hurts when
60
266470
3910
04:30
you lower it really low, that's okay, you're only going to do it for a second just to feel
61
270380
4250
04:34
what that is.
62
274630
1300
04:35
But definitely, as you play Karen, do sense strain, because strain, I think, is a sign
63
275930
8720
04:44
of a lifting of the voice box, and we want the opposite.
64
284650
5920
04:50
We want a lowering, opening, so if you ever find, ah, my
65
290570
3880
04:54
Throat is getting really sore, or my neck, or my tongue, you know, your tongue, the base
66
294450
6100
05:00
of your tongue, is attached here to your neck.
67
300550
2910
05:03
And if you're ever feeling fatigued, that's a sign that, okay, stop, take a break, shake
68
303460
4860
05:08
it out.
69
308320
1000
05:09
So if you're having neck pain, take a break, try to think open and low, and relax a little
70
309320
5230
05:14
bit.
71
314550
1000
05:15
Now, let's start working with Karen on reductions.
72
315550
5300
05:20
And I run a business that Helps people sell more.
73
320850
3200
05:24
- Okay, so, and I run a business, beautiful, but a little bit of that formality, and.
74
324050
7570
05:31
Let's try, well, let's try to reduce that.
75
331620
3920
05:35
And I run a business, and I run, and I run, so i'm going to have you Bring in that reduction,
76
335540
4690
05:40
and I run, and i'm going to have you bring down the pitch, and I run a business.
77
340230
4650
05:46
And I run a business.
78
346256
1345
05:47
Right, let's just see what happens if you bring it lower.
79
347601
3419
05:51
And I run a business.
80
351020
1229
05:53
And I run a business.
81
353446
1364
05:54
Right, you know, so the one you just did before that sounded pretty good, but the placement
82
354810
7200
06:02
still felt high and then when you brought it down more, it didn't seem like too much,
83
362010
4950
06:06
and then the feeling was that sort of American chest feeling.
84
366960
4660
06:11
And I run a business.
85
371620
2870
06:14
And I run a business, and I run a business.
86
374490
2690
06:17
So we're doing a reduction, we're bringing in a reduction that she wasn't doing and we're
87
377180
4709
06:21
also playing with lowering the pitch.
88
381889
3761
06:25
Right, and I love that, and I run a business.
89
385650
4680
06:30
Take it down way lower than you know it should be.
90
390330
2470
06:32
And, actually, this is something that will be fun for you to do.
91
392800
3119
06:35
Take one phrase like this, and then record yourself doing all sorts of different things
92
395919
5481
06:41
with it.
93
401400
1000
06:42
And, when you're going back and listening, and be like, "ah, I love that one", and then
94
402400
4390
06:46
play it, imitate it, play it, imitate it, play it, imitate it.
95
406790
3150
06:49
And then these are just things that can help unlock that feeling, and the thing about the
96
409940
5090
06:55
feeling is, once we find that, that affects everything that you say ever, you know, so like working on
97
415030
7800
07:02
placement can really just transform everything about how you speak and for other people out
98
422830
9119
07:11
there who have more varied issues, finding a better placement can often help sounds in
99
431949
8871
07:20
a way that working on just the sound doesn't even make sense, but working on the core concept
100
440820
5250
07:26
of the placement transforms the sound in a way that, just working on the sound, you never
101
446070
4750
07:30
could've gotten there.
102
450820
1310
07:32
And so I always find that really interesting, and I really ask my students do that.
103
452130
5569
07:37
So you lower your pitch, your fundamental frequency, to find a lower placement.
104
457699
4821
07:42
You also relax and open up your neck and throat and if you want more on that, watch my one
105
462520
5220
07:47
accent trick video.
106
467740
2610
07:50
Then also bringing in reductions is something that can help with placement.
107
470350
4370
07:54
I found for my students thinking about lowering placement and letting go of tension in the
108
474720
4270
07:58
neck can be pretty confusing and hard to actually do.
109
478990
3370
08:02
But reductions, these are something concrete that you can do instead of saying aaand, say
110
482360
6070
08:08
and.
111
488430
1420
08:09
Instead of saying thaaat, say that.
112
489850
3140
08:12
Now, if you don't know that much about reductions, I have a full playlist that goes over what
113
492990
5380
08:18
the reductions are in American English.
114
498370
2090
08:20
If you're looking to train more, check out my academy, I have hundreds of audio files
115
500460
4290
08:24
to go with each concept that you learn so you're not just learning it with your head
116
504750
4050
08:28
but you're training it into your body.
117
508800
2470
08:31
And of course, my academy is also where I have live classes once a month like when I
118
511270
4869
08:36
taught Karen.
119
516139
1070
08:37
In this next clip, I’m going to work with Karen on the reduction of the word that.
120
517209
4341
08:41
It becomes that, with a schwa instead of the AA vowel and a stop T depending on the sound
121
521550
6339
08:47
that comes next.
122
527889
1331
08:49
I'm gonna say that helps people, And then you repeat it back That helps people.
123
529220
6349
08:55
- That helps people
124
535569
1640
08:57
- That helps people
125
537209
2600
08:59
- That helps people
126
539809
1000
09:00
- Okay, so one thing, Let's do the reduction.
127
540809
3431
09:04
It's not that, but it's TH, that helps people.
128
544240
4339
09:08
- Yeah, okay, that helps people.
129
548579
2291
09:10
- Right, that helps people.
130
550870
2639
09:13
- That helps people.
131
553509
1000
09:14
- Yeah, loved that.
132
554509
1981
09:16
So, also for everyone else that's listening and noticing, so she had and, I made her do
133
556490
5189
09:21
that reduction.
134
561679
1000
09:22
We had that, I made her do that reduction.
135
562679
3100
09:25
You guys have probably noticed so many of the reductions involved, changing something
136
565779
3620
09:29
to the schwa.
137
569399
1930
09:31
And the schwa has a lower feeling, and so by also taking these words that aren't reduced,
138
571329
6491
09:37
like to, and reducing them to ta, and this kind of thing, we're changing these things
139
577820
5069
09:42
to a sound that naturally feels lower too, which will help with the overall placement
140
582889
6481
09:49
feeling lower.
141
589370
1219
09:50
And it's not something I had really noticed when you were talking, although it makes sense
142
590589
3470
09:54
now when I was sensing formality.
143
594059
1940
09:55
A lack of reductions also creates a sense of formality, in sort of an old fashioned
144
595999
6611
10:02
way.
145
602610
1479
10:04
So that's something, Karen, that you could also do when you record yourself and you're
146
604089
3440
10:07
listening to yourself, is be listening for, am I doing reductions?
147
607529
4261
10:11
'Cause your rhythm is fine, right?
148
611790
1430
10:13
And you were saying that, that, that, but I actually wanted th, th, th, so that's another
149
613220
6209
10:19
thing I would say.
150
619429
1220
10:20
I gotta say I was really excited to find this new trick that reductions affect placement.
151
620649
6120
10:26
I'm always looking for new tips to give students especially with something that's as hard to
152
626769
4831
10:31
teach and understand as placement.
153
631600
2839
10:34
Here's another student that I worked with in that same live class, and placement came
154
634439
4861
10:39
up again.
155
639300
1279
10:40
And here, we're talking about it as it relates to a particular vowel, the UH as in butter
156
640579
5401
10:45
vowel, and you can only get the right quality for that vowel if you do have a low placement.
157
645980
6719
10:52
You know there's one sound I Wrote only down only one word But I heard it a couple Times
158
652699
4161
10:56
that I wanted to tweak With you and this sound Relates to placement so fully.
159
656860
6810
11:03
And it's the uh as in butter sound.
160
663670
3609
11:07
And it was in this word...
161
667279
1000
11:08
- Bummed.
162
668279
1060
11:09
- Yeah, let me hear you say it longer like holding out the vowel, bu-mm-ed.
163
669339
6990
11:16
- Bu-mm-ed.
164
676329
1000
11:17
- Okay yeah, I actually I like that a lot.
165
677329
4750
11:22
When you were talking it was a little bit higher, bum bum.
166
682079
3490
11:25
- I remember it.
167
685569
1861
11:27
- Yeah, bummed I'm so bummed.
168
687430
3769
11:31
That's difference in placement.
169
691199
1151
11:32
The thing that makes that sound different is placement bummed is a very low placement
170
692350
4630
11:36
things have to really open.
171
696980
1500
11:38
And if you have a good uh vowel, like it seems like you do
172
698480
3299
11:41
When you're imitating and thinking about it.
173
701779
2131
11:43
That's a really good core place to go, when you're thinking about your placement u-uh
174
703910
5310
11:49
bummed.
175
709220
1000
11:50
I'm really bummed.
176
710220
1599
11:51
And then as you do it and you build a sentence on it, you try to maintain
177
711819
4601
11:56
That connection that feeling.
178
716420
1109
11:57
Let me hear you say, u-uh.
179
717529
2951
12:00
- U-uh - Right.
180
720480
2019
12:02
- U-uuh, do it again.
181
722499
4030
12:06
- U-uuh.
182
726529
1011
12:07
- Yeah, I like it at the end the quality changes a little bit.
183
727540
4180
12:11
Let me see if I can imitate it.
184
731720
2309
12:14
Uu-uuh, I don't think I really did.
185
734029
2821
12:16
Uh, uh, uh, so it seemed felt to me like at the end
186
736850
4380
12:21
It was a little bit more like uh, instead of u-uh.
187
741230
4789
12:26
Uh, uh do you hear a difference?
188
746019
3930
12:29
- Yeah, I hear it.
189
749949
1060
12:31
- The one is like, it's like
190
751009
2601
12:33
There's this really deep lagoon or something.
191
753610
4479
12:38
U-uh, and the other one it's much more shallow.
192
758089
3990
12:42
And the one that we want is the deep lagoon.
193
762079
2801
12:44
We want the feeling that there's a lot of space down here, not that it's shallow or
194
764880
3709
12:48
gets cut off, Uhh, uhh, butter.
195
768589
4498
12:53
Bummed.
196
773087
1190
12:54
There's this really deep lagoon or something.
197
774534
2590
12:57
Uhhh. And the other one, it's much more shallow.
198
777124
4115
13:01
Uhh bummed.
199
781239
2390
13:04
-Bummed.
200
784743
1631
13:06
Right. Bummer.
201
786374
3427
13:10
Bummer.
202
790922
1591
13:12
Okay buhh.
203
792513
1714
13:14
-Buh -Buh
204
794558
1376
13:15
- Right, that was a lot more buh, buh-uh,
205
795934
5215
13:21
- Bu-mm-er.
206
801149
1750
13:22
- Right, that was right.
207
802899
2701
13:25
That was a lot better.
208
805600
1099
13:26
Did everyone hear that, the difference between buh.
209
806699
3370
13:30
Which is just really shallow.
210
810069
2140
13:32
It's really narrow, buh-uh.
211
812209
3720
13:35
Like we're opening up everything underneath it.
212
815929
1900
13:37
And that's one of the things in this placement video that's coming out in May.
213
817829
1000
13:38
I worked with some students and I imitated them.
214
818829
2440
13:41
And basically every time I imitated them, what I felt was, a compression of where the
215
821269
4470
13:45
sound lived.
216
825739
1880
13:47
It was here instead of here, or even really more like that.
217
827619
4981
13:52
So yeah, I think that's something to think about
218
832600
1859
13:54
And you know, that's a feeling that we can still have variation
219
834459
7850
14:02
Of pitch with that.
220
842309
1340
14:03
So, we might use a low pitch to find that feeling
221
843649
4210
14:07
Or you might use that vowel to find that feeling.
222
847859
3761
14:11
But then once you found, that you can do a lot with it
223
851620
3259
14:14
And still maintain that feeling.
224
854879
1740
14:16
You can even shout!
225
856619
1750
14:18
You can even be angry!
226
858369
2400
14:20
And it still feels that connection.
227
860769
3320
14:24
I'm not angry at you.
228
864089
1610
14:25
My friend who's living upstairs is probably like,
229
865699
2230
14:27
What is going on in her class right now?
230
867929
4231
14:32
But that's what I would say and that sort of goes to
231
872160
2060
14:34
That other question is, finding your thing.
232
874220
4950
14:39
I think for you finding that uh could be what helps.
233
879170
4539
14:43
So it could be a vowel or for other people
234
883709
2331
14:46
It could be a particular word that has that vowel or whatever or it could be playing with
235
886040
4029
14:50
pitch, uh-uuh.
236
890069
1730
14:51
Until you find something and then,
237
891799
3560
14:55
As you're practicing with a soundboard go back to
238
895359
2380
14:57
That between each sentence even.
239
897739
2220
14:59
You're like, hey what are you doing today, uh-uuh.
240
899959
3661
15:03
Hey, what are you doing today, or whatever.
241
903620
3029
15:06
Find your core, that's awesome.
242
906649
2170
15:08
I also had thought when you were speaking.
243
908819
3950
15:12
I had also thought, placement it feels very cheeky, rather than chesty.
244
912769
5250
15:18
So now, I’m going to ask her to speak her own native language, so I can compare the
245
918019
4970
15:22
placement of that to American English.
246
922989
2010
15:24
Listen to how different it is when I imitate her placement, and I switch back and forth
247
924999
5420
15:30
between that and the American placement.
248
930419
2860
15:33
And that's probably what your native language is like.
249
933279
2140
15:35
Can I hear you just speak for a few seconds seconds, tell me where you were born or whatever
250
935419
4230
15:39
in your native language.
251
939649
1494
15:45
- Yeah, it's so different.
252
945551
1559
15:47
It's so focused and small Here, ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta.
253
947110
4999
15:52
It has to me that kind of quality, ta-a.
254
952109
3191
15:55
And we have da da da da da da Da da da da da da da da da da.
255
955300
5149
16:00
And that's an example guys, my pitch was the same, my vowel was the same like my articulators
256
960449
4911
16:05
were doing the same thing.
257
965360
1379
16:06
But it was the shape that changed to make those two different sounds.
258
966739
4530
16:11
As you're practicing, if you feel like you find a placement that's lower and sounds more
259
971269
5711
16:16
natural and American, what should you do with that?
260
976980
3629
16:20
You should come up with words to describe your experience and your feeling.
261
980609
6220
16:26
When you go bu-mm-ed.
262
986829
3240
16:30
Bu-uh, what would you say is happening
263
990069
3360
16:33
In like your neck, throat, chest area?
264
993429
2200
16:35
- I feel it's relaxing.
265
995629
2660
16:38
- So-- - I feel it relaxing.
266
998289
3320
16:41
- Oh I like that, I feel it relaxing.
267
1001609
3460
16:45
Let me ask you then, speak your own native language again and tell me what you feel happening.
268
1005069
5200
16:57
- I feel like there's something that's constraining.
269
1017861
6058
17:04
Like everything is not relaxed.
270
1024173
2737
17:06
I feel like I my muscles contract in here.
271
1026910
6540
17:13
- Mm hmm.
272
1033450
1000
17:14
- And not as much as--
273
1034450
1700
17:16
- It's so interesting to me that's what you have to do to get the right sound of your
274
1036150
4090
17:20
native language.
275
1040240
1000
17:21
And, for English we have none of that for American English.
276
1041240
4560
17:25
And so I think that can be really useful for everyone too.
277
1045800
3510
17:29
Once you find something that feels like, oh
278
1049310
2240
17:31
This feels right, go back to your native language
279
1051550
2930
17:34
And see if you can describe what's happening.
280
1054480
2400
17:36
Because that's what you have to fight to not do every time you speak American English.
281
1056880
4480
17:41
And when I say fight, it sounds like tension.
282
1061360
2630
17:43
But of course, the way to not do it is to let go of the tension.
283
1063990
4060
17:48
I had a student once whose native language is Hindi.
284
1068050
3610
17:51
And I was imitating him and when I was going back and forth between imitating him and not.
285
1071660
5640
17:57
It's like I felt I could almost feel my voice box.
286
1077300
4060
18:01
Like bending forward to imitate him, and then dropping back to sound like myself.
287
1081360
5780
18:07
So that's great that you can identify it.
288
1087140
1661
18:08
It sound like you identified here and also stuff that was happening here.
289
1088801
4459
18:13
So that is awesome.
290
1093260
1880
18:15
That is your voice in your native language.
291
1095140
2860
18:18
Totally different of course than American English.
292
1098000
3310
18:21
So I asked her to keep comparing English with her native language.
293
1101310
4210
18:25
And guess what we get to?
294
1105520
1467
18:26
Reductions.
295
1106987
1481
18:28
Let's do something.
296
1108468
931
18:29
I want you to say a couple in your native language
297
1109399
2781
18:32
And then stop, think, let it all go and then say something in English.
298
1112180
5140
18:37
And try to be aware of, I'm using a totally different voice in my body now.
299
1117320
6390
18:52
- I'd like to eat.
300
1132347
1293
18:54
- Pretty good, do another one.
301
1134124
2955
19:04
- I have to...
302
1144620
1380
19:09
- I liked that I liked I have, Then to the verb I have to
303
1149370
4710
19:14
It sort of brought it up.
304
1154080
1060
19:15
I'm sorry, not the verb but the particle.
305
1155140
3310
19:18
And you know, that is the sound that we actually probably should make a schwa.
306
1158450
4810
19:23
I have to and if you had let it stay a schwa, I bet i
307
1163260
5150
19:28
have to, I bet it would have stayed lower.
308
1168410
2490
19:30
I have to do that.
309
1170900
2490
19:33
- I have to do that.
310
1173390
1410
19:34
- Right, it's a lot different than I have to.
311
1174800
2520
19:37
I have to.
312
1177320
1000
19:38
- I have to.
313
1178320
1000
19:39
- I have to, right.
314
1179320
1950
19:41
- I have to, yeah that's a big difference.
315
1181270
2982
19:44
- Big difference and when we were working with Karen, she
316
1184252
3058
19:47
was doing the ah vowel in that.
317
1187310
2830
19:50
Which is also has a bit of a higher feeling
318
1190140
2940
19:53
and when we drop that and we switch into schwa,
319
1193080
3610
19:56
what was the word th-a, th-a-t.
320
1196690
1890
19:58
- Th-a, th-a - Duh, duh, duh
321
1198580
4030
20:02
Another great tip for you to do as you practice is to speak your native language and then
322
1202610
5290
20:07
purposely try to speak American English with that placement.
323
1207900
4440
20:12
And then also try to speak it with an American placement.
324
1212340
2820
20:15
Try to really establish the difference in the feeling between those two placements.
325
1215160
4460
20:19
Hopefully, you get to the point where speaking American English with the placement of your
326
1219620
4290
20:23
own native language starts to feel kind of strange and funny.
327
1223910
4000
20:27
I love that switching, keep that up.
328
1227910
2780
20:30
The more you do that, the more you're gonna solidify the difference.
329
1230690
3000
20:33
And then actually a great other thing to bring in,
330
1233690
3710
20:37
Is speak your native language and then bring in your English and try to do it in that
331
1237400
5630
20:43
native language voice.
332
1243030
1449
20:44
And identify that as wrong and as unchanged.
333
1244479
5221
20:49
And then do your native language again and then try to do that total American voice.
334
1249700
4400
20:54
I think that that would be a great way-- - Great.
335
1254100
1670
20:55
- For you to uncover and play.
336
1255770
1870
20:57
- Okay.
337
1257640
1000
20:58
- It's all about playing discovery.
338
1258640
1630
21:00
I can't do it for you, but I can listen and give you feedback.
339
1260270
4364
21:04
One major tip I want you to know before you go start working on reductions is that simplification
340
1264829
6131
21:10
goes hand in hand with reductions.
341
1270960
1660
21:12
So you're going to be simplifying your mouth movements as a part of reducing words, being
342
1272620
5460
21:18
able to say them more quickly.
343
1278080
2500
21:20
Here's that playlist on youtube of all of the videos that I have on reductions, words
344
1280580
4550
21:25
that reduce, and if you do sign up for my academy, and you went ahead straight there
345
1285130
4000
21:29
it's the Stress three course.
346
1289130
2383
21:31
Keep your learning going now with this video and I really appreciate you being here watching
347
1291513
4667
21:36
this.
348
1296180
1000
21:37
I love teaching pronunciation and I learned so much from teaching my students.
349
1297180
5570
21:42
So massive thank you to my students who are in my academy who sign up for my live classes
350
1302750
4970
21:47
who let me teach them and learn from them.
351
1307720
3370
21:51
That's it and thanks so much for using Rachel's English.
