everyday Rachel's English. Thank you.
God bless you
great practice for Y [j] Consonant.
Does the tounge touches the roof of mouth? Is there a small space between the tounge and the roof of mouth? Can the side of tounge touches the inside of upper teeth? Thank you in advance!
I'm so confused about the way how native speakers pronounce this combination "a consonant/ a vowel + [jən]".
For example:
* [g] + [jən] in argument [ˈɑːrɡ.jə.mənt], is it pronounced the same as [gju:], meaning that we can pronounce this word [ˈɑːrɡ.ju:.mənt]
*[n] + [jən] in onion [ˈʌn.jən]
*[ɪl] + [jən] in brilliant [ˈbrɪl.jənt]
What means 'push' in this sentence ? -As we push the tongue forward on the roof of the mouth, we close the vocal cords to get this sound.

I love your lessons
Hi Rachel! Greeting from Japan and thank you for your great videos. They help me a lot!
Yet I find it really difficult to pronounce Y after N consonant. like the word, California. The last syllable is [njə] and I cannot lift the middle part of the tongue that quick…
I would appreciate it if you could give me a tip for that.
Anyway thank you always for your great videos !
For me the sound J is the same as / i: /. I can't hear the difference. For exemple yellow in my mind is iellow , you = iou and young = ioung . Help me .
are you open your mouth in Y [j] sound as you open your mouth in /ɪ/ sound Thank you.

To you is easier to pronounce correct because you are an American but I'm Peruvian to me is so difficult .I think that there should have be a video where someone teachs it speaking in Spanish to understand better. I was searching it but I don't find anything.I don't know what to do .there are a lot of words that I have to learn how to pronounce because I am studying pronunciation. I hate English.😣 I am going to give up.
Great video. Thank you for sharing

Good evening. I am a doctor from Tunisia (Arab country in North Africa). Here, the French is our seconde language and doctors need medical English to present their works in medical meetings but unfortunately we face difficulties especially to pronounce the names of many diseases and microorganisms. I should be grateful if you present in your videos (how to pronounce) the name of some diseases and parasites particularly difficult to pronounce, such as "Leishmaniasis, Hydatidosis, Echinococcus, etc .Thank you in advance.
