The poet is Dutch!

ZED

Really? That’s good to know. Thanks

Jon

Because VietNamese people from the north, south and central areas have diffirence voices. Did you disapointed when you come to VietNam? Did you have the unforgettable memories in Viet Nam? The gap of language is the most difficult…..

I had a fantastic time in Vietnam. The people were so nice and it is an absolutely gorgeous country…especially the countryside. I rode a motorbike from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City and that was very exciting.

Jon

Wow, I wish that i can go to Vietnam also… I have a lot of friends there and i like their foods.

totong

For those who are interested, I write here belong the name of the poet (for the spelling!!!) GERARD NOLST TRENITE.(He wasn’t french but dutch!) The passage of the video is from the poem “THE CHAOS”

milly

Thanks for the correction.

Jon

Sorry Jon, but french is great! The proof?! They are so many french words used in English:
« Entrée, amuse-bouche, hors d’œuvre , fiancé, liaison , billet doux, rendez-vous… » hum ! Are all these words about food and love ? Ok, let’s try other ones : « trompe-l’œil, déjà-vu, faux-pas »
and « toilette »… Oups! Basically, maybe you weren’t so wrong…

milly

Astonishing!!!!

Fábio Demarchi

I´m writing just to tell you how muchh I´m pleased to find this wibsite and specially your lessons. They´re really great.
Hey. I´ve read that you´ve been in Brazil. I´d like to know in which city have you been.
I love Canada. I´m sure I will study there one day.
Thanks and all the best. You are the best teacher of this wibsite.

Valldecy

I lived in Recife for about 6 months. Hmmm….porto de galinha, feijoada, and all the rest. What a fantastic country!

Jon

i´d be great if you replied my comments and make any corrections..

Valldecy

totong

it seems that I’m late to open this lesson, but it’s great… it is very good. I noticed also Sir Jon that his not only good in poetry but also in dancing.

totong

Congrats Jon, awsome lesson! I really enjoy this lesson a lot. It was hard for me to realize why “pronunciation” has 5 syllables, cause I tend to make one with …-cia-…
ThxQ

jafcru12

Well.I Liked iT.Even Tho Sometimes Twas Not That Clear.I Guess The Guy Speaking Is Not A Real Teacher So Thats Why He Finds It Hard To Make Himself Clompletely Clear.Things Like PRAYER-TO PRAY.Noun -Verb.I Like The Accent! Thanx

Chuck

Hi Jon! I’m Vietnamese.^^I think the lesson is great and useful. Therefore, I think you should to collect many poetry to teach. Especially, many poetry have the same syllables (such as She sells sea shells on the sea shore…) because most of people confuse them. Thanks you so much about your lesson!^^

trangdo410

I’m Vietnamese too :) that’s our language

luffy

very funny very clever Jon.
you really made English as a piece of cake for me.
i’m very happy to follow up your great videos.
waiting for more interesting videos from you.
please, how could i know if you upload a new video “what should i do to receive such a notification or message to keep me posted all the time?”
thanks Jon.

tommyzambrotta

very usefull lesson ! thanks a lot :)

kate

This is so eiticxng! I can’t wait for the next installment!!! Really, it IS fascinating but I am wondering if the students speak English well enough that they can understand sentences like the one in the article or do speak to them in Chinese?

Alber

funny and useful lessons!!;)

Maru( Argentina)

give some comments regarding how to speak clearly as my voice doesnt comes clear

priyanka

My comment is not a subject of this lesson. But mjderators please don’t remove this one? god bless your job. I wonder if you add a lesson about what IPA sounds spelling I’ve already ask Ronnie about this For exampe upset down e is schwa. That is not so usefull but how can we explain to self some notion even if we know its defenition we don’t know word itself. This is pilosophical question but i’m not PHD))))))))))

Victor Adamenja

You are so funny.Thank.s

Hi Jon…keep doing ur good work. I’ve already knew this poem from CHAOS, but it’s a very long poem and some of the words are very difficult to pronounce…so I sugeest, if you don’t mind, to read more of this poem. If we know all the difficults words of the poem we are able to speak english very well. Thanks a lot for your great lesson. Bye from Portugal. I hope one day you visit my country…it’s a beautiful country with a very nice people

I’m confused. Why we write CORPS but we speak COR? It’s strange. I thought I misheard so I checked in the dictionary. The pronounciation is like COR.

ladymarmelade

Because that’s how it’s pronounced in French, which “corps” comes from! No, it doesn’t make much sense…but that’s how it is.

O Captain! My Captain!

Zenman

Hi Jon
I would like you to explain how north Americans pronounce the following:
water
get to go
got it
don’t
it hard for me to hear the how they say them
thanks
