844. Improve Your Pronunciation with Luke Nicholson - Accent Coach

A great video Luke, Thanks a lot to both of You

Wow! Very interesting. Thank you, Luke and Luke! 😊

I'm obsessed with accents and I found this episode really helpful and fun.

I record myself and then listen to check out how close the pronunciation is to what I expect. When I speak I, mostly, am sure that I sound perfectly correct :-) Then on the record, I can hear what sounds were wrong. This works for one's native language as well. Helps to improve intonation or articulation.

As for the IPA and phonetics, I thought it was boring until I met somewhere a guy who explained sounds and displayed the recording of the MRI of speech and sound pronunciation.

I remain indifferent to the alphabet itself (except maybe the vowel chart), maybe coz I had caught how most frequently used English words are pronounced to that moment. But understanding the mechanism of sound production helped me a lot.

To the extent that I was able to explain to my friend how to pronounce a sound from my native language. I tried to "teach" him this particular sound a few times by repeating it as clearly as I could. But it didn't work. Then I just described to him what exactly he had to do with his tongue, where exactly to place it. I was driving at that moment and didn't even look at him, and my hands were busy. Yet, he pronounced the sound right following my description. That felt powerful.

I still use this knowledge in my intercultural exchange a lot :-)

This podcast was sooo amazing!!! ❤❤

There are many Lukes but you're the unique Luke from them...Lukeeee❤❤❤❤

I love you podcast all at of Luke's

Luke's im sorry,corected

Well done Mr.Luks

Excelente!!!

Beautiful episode 😊

Can you explain me why it's quite easy for me to understand British English ( I mean, these podcasts) and it's terribly difficult to understand American English? I am Argentinian and I learned English at school since I was 3, but I have never been in a real life situation as I have never been in England. So now at my sixties I find that all I have learnt in the past is still somewhere in my brain, and even if I have never had a native English teacher somehow I learnt British English. Anyway I love all your podcasts !!! Both Lukes are great !

❤❤❤

❤❤❤💕

Your clear voice is God gifted 💖

I was intrigued about how to pronounce the name Luke correctly. You didn't teach. By the way, I'm a Brazilian student. Thanks.

Thanks for this episode! Really helpful! 😊

THANK YOU 😊

Hey Luke, would you consider inviting ETJ English here?

You looks tired Luke 😮

Thanks Luke for your comment about our brazilian accent.

I really like the idea of Luke that there is no such thing as strange spelling, it's just you're unfamiliar with the language. It's so true! In Chinese, some words and grammars are very strange to learners at first, but once you get the reason behind it, everything just make sense and not that hard anymore. This episode answered so many of my questions about English learning, really appreciate!

Thank You So Much Sir for your video i am the one Leaning english language.

Great as always

Thank you Luke ❤ Im glad to have both of you to listen and to. 🙏

Hi "Lucky", greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷😂

Thanks for your program and 🎉

I’m just feel
How great science is language 😃

Listening to you, guys, is something special! It"s like music to the ears! I wish all the native speakers spoke like you! :) I could understand any of them then :)
Thank you very much!

I loved this episode. Thank you.

Great episode ! At some point it remembered me the incipit of Lolita by Nabokov "“Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta." :) thank you both !

I like your accent Luke

Always good.

Very difficult the pronunciation to me as a Brazilian 😅 Letter "I" is the worst because its sound changes. Now, I'm in New Zealand and locals here say the letter "E" different for all the world 😂😂😂

Very fascinating subject indeed! Thanks for sharing this with us.

I’m Brazilian 🇧🇷 Luke. Haha
Hugs from Brazil. ☺️

Hi Luke!
Congratulations on the birth of your son and thank you so much for sharing a part of your life with us LEPsters. You offer us such a true to life insight into some aspects of the English language that would be otherwise very difficult achieve for those of us who don't live in an English speaking country. So thank you so much again. It was also lovely to hear from your wife too. ❤️
I also really appreciated your episode with Luke Nicholson. I'm a huge fan of phonetics and I always try to teach a little bit of it to my middle school students and they love it!
Love listening to you.
Ros

Thank you

I’ve enjoyed this episode,Luke and Luke ! Lots of useful information 😊

Yar are my best accent coach❤

As English teachers, you should think outside the books as well as you think outside the box. Maybe a cheesy joke, but I give you leave to use it! lol
Love from Morocco.
