Stop talking like a robot! Some words don’t always sound the same, and this is especially true when native English speakers speak quickly. In this short and simple video, I will teach you about the different ways we pronounce the preposition of. For example, did you know we pronounce “a lot of” like “alotta” in conversations? Understanding the pronunciation of words can also help you develop better listening skills.

Hi, Emma.
First of all, please forgive me for the long text, but I’ll try to make my point as briefly as I can.
In the lesson, I agree with everything you’d explained, even thinking that the situation with vowel sounds was not explored.
But, in the Quiz, the question:
How would you say the following sentence?
“Snap out of it.”
I used the advice:
“After you choose the correct answer, say the sentence out loud to practice pronunciation”
and I thought the correct answer was:
“Snap out ov it.”
Then I see that the expect answer was:
“Snap outta it.”
So I must add that I think this answer doesn’t consider the linking I think it’s correct to assume, in cases like this. In other words, I think the lesson and quiz should consider (even not mentioning it), the differences when the next sound is a vowel or a consonant sound, when we pronounce the “ov”.
And I ask you: could you please, comment this?
Thank you very much for all the good lessons in EngVid.
Best regards.

Dear Beloved Professor Emma,
This lesson is great lesson and very practical.
1. It seems to be easy to change the Pronunciation from ( of, eV,) to ( a) but it is not so. That is why your lesson requires quite a lot of practice. DEAR PROFESSOR EMMA PLS PREPARR LESSON TWO ABOUT THIS ISSUE. Kindly let us ( the students) follow your smooth pronunciation. There are two difficulties ( a) is not the same sound in English and in my mother tune. Then as you said OF pronunced ( a) has to be unstressed and pronunced in lower pitch.
2. You did not say how to say properly special cases.
” I have an apple of Albanian origin ”
(… A P l a A L banan)
How to say it correctly?
I know that my teacher Emma do no like to write in comment. Perhaps the team of engvid.com platform transfer my request to my admired Professor Emma ( another lesson) and on behalf of Professor Emma answer how to proceed pronunciation when ending ( a) meets ( a) in the next word.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
