Hi Teacher, I have a little problem with the words “bitch” and “beach”, I guess the same rule applies for this two words, thank you.
beach sounds like BEE-ch, bitch sounds like bi-tch (like the i in “IT”), c

I think pronunciation is very important when you pronounce a foreign language. But sometimes very confusing! Thanks for your help to understand the difference of e and i vowels. Very clear explanation. Now I get it.

hi… teacher ronnie. how is going? Are you happy? I hope so. I haven’t seen you in ages. because at the moment i’m seeking job. i’m worry about my english because i’m not fluent. you know i can read and write but when someone said to me i can under stand but if speak so fast i can’t understand. you know,How can i improve my listen? give me some suggestions for me. finally if you have freetime i want invite you travel in Thailand. thank you my teacher. have a nice dream.
to improve your listening — watch american or british tv shows with sub-titles in english so you can understand what they are saying!
listen to english music and follow along with

i allways watch english tv shows -series and i lissen english music from young age. But my problem is i cant find anyone to practise.
So when i need to speak english i allways make pronunciation or grammer mistakes.
Its realy nice to watch your lessons but just watching is not solving speaking problem….
thanks for lessons

Ronnie,
Hi, What is the world’s average score for IELTS General Training? Please if you know this information let us share it with you. I am dissapointed today because of my IELTS result and I was really expecting a higher score and I might submit a re-mark request soon. I would appreciate your feedback.

Ronnie, congratulations on the tips! I am an English teacher from Brazil and the lessons on engvid help me and my students a lot. I like to see the videos to get ideas on how to help them learn. As a teacher I am always learning too. Thanks a lot. :) I loved the idea of the “i” sound when you drew an eye! It´s impossible to forget after seeing that!

Hello Ronnie (is it from Ronald? I’m not sure …!)
Your lessons are very good but sad to tell you that you speak deeply in your nose and hearing you is the most hard part of your lesson for us as the English leaners from other countries. Please try to understand that we are only beginners in English (not your pals that you meet everyday). I know that you cannot do anything to change your way of speaking therefore I suggest you to put subtitles (closed captions) on your video so it would be a great help to all of us. We love you!

Thanks for this ,and previous lessons ,but if you explain how we can pronunce single “e” for example “bet” it will be good for all students because i can not make difference when I wanna pronunce,”bet”,”beat”,”bit”.
I wiil be thankful to for ever.

Hi Ronnie,
I’m an ESL teacher and I’m currently tutoring Russians using Skype. They also have a problem with ee and i. Thank you for sharing your lesson. It’s great to see other Canadians teaching ESL. Do you have ideas on how to teach forming the ee and i sound? I have many students that can’t hear the difference….Thanks Shari White

Hi Ronnie,
I’m in canada now,i wanna know how to use in,on,at,to,by,is,of etc.. thanks george..
Nicky
Hey, I’ve got a question, is there anything else except longitude in the difference between these sounds? People don’t often speak slowly sometimes it can be difficult to say “eee” and sometimes it can be opposite “Tiiim” “Where are you, T(iii)m?” I’ve been listening to a pronounciation course for two days,I cannot catch the difference when a person speaks fast. They are both so similar to each other… There’re a lot of schemes of these sounds on the net but unfortunately they didn’t all apeare useful for me. In fact this video is only a beginning of an introduction of these sounds. Please, explain it again.But in this time, show it in the middle of words, at the end,with different letters and speed. And, please, make a good picture… Thanks.

Hi Ronnie
I have a big problem with the pronunciation of “ea” I do not understand when ea is like “eee” sound and when is like “e” sound, for explame, why the pronunciation of head is different of mean, or the pronunciation of steak is different of beach. Can you clarify me the exception of the rule.
Thanks you.
