Advanced English pronunciation with poetry
English pronunciation can be very challenging because the sounds are very inconsistent. Why do we say “beard”, but “heard”? They look like they should sound similar, but they do not. This is a great lesson for advanced students to learn some new words, as well as their pronunciation.

fart rhynes with heart lol. nope I don’t like the taste of heart. pretty nice lesson Jon. cya.
ya ,lesson was funny:)
I loved! I’m going to try it with my class. It’s a good way to improve vocabulary as you said.
Some people in Brazil likes to eat ‘hearts of chicken’ in barbecue :)

Mind the “letter” how it’s written, don’t make mistake Jon!
i don’t know if I’m right also but what i understand is that the word “latter” refers to the line (sword and sward, retain and Britain). Oh sir Jon help us,,, we understand it differently.
Well Totong, I still think that I’m right. We’ll wait for Jon to reply if he wants, but I don’t see logic if the word “latter” is right. It’s about pronunciation, but also about spelling. . .
Its only what i understood his lesson,,,, but it seem that sir Jon didn’t answer us…. sir Jon,,, Hello are you there?
Why do you think that “latter” is a mistake? Search for “The Chaos” by G. Nolst Trenité ;)
Could you like teacher a lesson on HANG expressions? e.g HANG ON, HANG UP, HANG OUT, HANG AROUND e.t.c
I’ll tell you here immediately. HANG ON means to wait and to listen carefully. HANG UP has more than one meaning, but one of them is to interrupt line on the phone or to end up the phone call. HANG OUT means to go out with smb. HANG AROUND means to walk around. . .
Great lesson, I can improve my pronunciation.
Hi Jon
Thanks for this video class, it´s very interesting to listen to this kind of advanced vocabulary. I´d like to have an explination of the words in a next video like this, as you know if we don´t understand we don´t learn.
Best regards
Hi Jon
Thanks for this video. You’re so cool.
hurray I scored 4 out of 4
wow,,,,nice lesson….can you make part 2 of this sir. Jon?
Oh yeah – great idea. My suggestion is the next part of this poem :)
Hi, Jon! Your lesson was fantastic, but I didn’t quite catch the pronunciation of the word poem, coz in our dictionaries it sounds like ‘pouim. and you pronounce it like pom, long sound o. which is correct? thanks in advance
Hi Lesya!!! your dictionary uses British pronunciation but sir Jon used american English accent but either of the two is correct.
nice lesson

Jon…I enjoy ur lesson. I said in the first block of the poem to pronounce further bolcks of this very long poem with very difficult words. There are more blocks. Can u read all of them? Thanks a lot for ur great lesson. Sometimes I really don’t know how to pronounce some words, as you said before, there are no consistance im vowels and consonants as there are in spanish or portuguese. For instances: tear and tear. I’m sorry to other you. Bye
thanks ! awesome lesson .
