How is "t" pronounced in "pants"? It doesn't seem to follow the way you outlined in this video.
In that word and others like it, the t sound is unreleased as it moves into the next sound, the s. So what happens is that the tongue goes to make the stopped t sound but instead of releasing the air that comes after t, the tongue moves into the next sound (the s). This kind of natural movement from one sound to another sound is very common in English and, in fact, in all languages. I hope that helps.
Hello, Jenna! I hope you had a nice, relaxing weekend and that your week is off to a great start! Thanks for this very helpful video, as you seem to have a good grasp of Brazilian Portuguese. Speaking of which, you pronounced my name correctly at the beginning of the video - way to go! 😃 I hope you enjoy the rest of your day and have a fabulous week!
Thanks for noting that 😊 Have a nice week, too, Rodrigo!
Hey, you finally got around to making this video! Awesome work, Jenna! I just wanna vouch for this bit 12:12 and say that even though I'm not a native English speaker and my pronunciation is not perfect, I still was able to hear some these mistakes made by Brazilians when I was learning Portuguese in the past, so they are important. PS: I'd like to add one thing that's recently come to my attention. I think in some regional British accents, the Essex accent in particular, the dark L is pronounced in a similar way to that in Brazilian Portuguese. And, Jenna, I'm only sharing this because I know it'll pique your interest, but I hope no Brazilian will use it as an excuse to continue to mispronounce the dark L! 👋😅🗣
Thanks for the comment! British English has so many interesting dialects that constantly surprise me. I didn't know about that but will check it out. Hope you're well 😊

I think it depends on the type of Essay. Venn diagram and T-chart are good for comparison/contrast while clustering type is good for cause and effect and opinion essays.
Yes, absolutely! That's the way that I teach it in my writing classes.
Thanks a lot Jenna, I've got a clear understanding after I watched your explanation. I'm your new subscriber from Indonesia🇮🇩
That's great! Thanks for sharing :)
Your videos have been a great help throughout the duration of my exams. Thanks alot ❤
Happy to help!
I can remember that I usually pronounce the word INTERNET with a dropped T 😊 . I enjoy practicing American accent. It is like my favorite piece of cake 🍰😍😋
Love that!
❤❤❤
I often drop the t sound in words like these ones. Thank you professor. We need more Academic lessons. <3
Glad you like them! And yes, if you listen to Americans, you'll hear the t dropped 😊
Good morning! I have a question which doesn't relate to your video if you don't mind. I heard one of the English series about a friend of a girl who asked her who is elder you or your sister? She replied that she younger than I'm. Why she didn't than me instead? Could you illustrate?
You can respond with "She is younger than me." or "She is younger than I am." In the second case, it needs to be a clause with subject and verb. It is not possible to say "than I'm" at the end of a sentence because we don't end sentences with the contraction "I'm". I hope that helps!
Your favorite: “Go paddle boarding!” 😉🏄🏻
😊 good memory you have!

Very surprising😮🎉🎉🎉🎉
Glad you learned something new!
Sorry, if I use "Would you mind if ......? the verb in the if clause doesn't go in simple past?
Yes, you are right. Unfortunately, native speakers make mistakes in conditionals when we are speaking all the time, so it's very common for us to say "would you mind if I sit here?" However, I realized the mistake and explained it in the description of the video. Sorry for the confusion.
Thank you for answering !! It's a pleasure to watch your videos! They aré really useful!❤
Thank you.❤️
You are so welcome
Excellent

Thank you for your teaching. I appreciate your clarification. I gain many things from the essay introduction. You are a passionate teacher.
That's great! I'm glad this was helpful.
Thank you Need more practices
Keep it up!
When is "the" pronounced as "thee"? Similarly, when is "a" (article) pronounced as "ei"?
We can pronounce both words with the clear vowel sound "thee" and a as in "ei" when we are speaking clearly/slowly or when we are emphasizing the word for some reason. We also often (but not always!) pronounce "the" like "thee" when the next word starts with a vowel, like "the end."
After having read almost exclusively in English ever since I left Russia in 1999 at the age of 20, the speed at which I comprehend a text in Russian is still about double the speed at which I comprehend a text in English. I think that maybe the neuron connections formed earlier in life are much stronger than those formed at a more advanced age. I wonder whether this slowness of reading due to the slowness of comprehension can be overcome.
Interesting! I do think it is possible if you are completely immersed in the language and you read in English every day or almost every day. It sounds like you are already doing that. I think it depends on a few factors but if you continue to read in English daily, your comprehension and reading speed will continue to improve ☺️
