We’ll compare similar sounds, and look at tricky topics like the glottal stop and the dark L.

English with Lucy my grandfather was from Yorkshire but his father was from Sussex and my great great grandfather was from Oxford and went to university there. I remember reading very young 6 yrs old and using a dictionary to look up words that I didn’t know. I also remember not being allowed to use ketchup and discussions about which is proper fork in right hand vs fork in left hand. My great grandfather was the vicar in Mappleton, Yorkshire.

Ok. Esta mina es increible. La dedicación que le pone a sus videos. Su modulación, entonación y el ritmo. Como interpreta situaciones para emplear las palabras o frases que trata de enseñar. Y por supuesto el acento ingles es hipnotico. No hay forma de aburrirse escuchandola. Tambien se parte de buena. You have a new subscriber......From Buenos Aires.

To learn English , you should only do one thing . You should practice. Yeeeh practice it try to go back in time and imagine yourself as a baby. How could you learn your mother language? By listening, right! Listening and trying to speak. Try and make mistakes .it's fine, But in the end i promise you. You will do it.

Dear Lucy, always a lovely experience watching your videos. I grew up bilingual with Spanish and German so always keen on other languages - and meanwhile living in AUS and NZ for quite some years. As to your recommendation no. 5 re TV shows: get yourself some comic books you know from your past and read them in the language you like to learn, helps you get the hang of every day language as well, ie Asterix or Tintin... keep up your excellent work 😎

Thank you for making this helpful video. I tried to avoid using subtitles while listening to you and ended up putting the video at × 1.25 speed :) I'm French and I'm studying English at university. I passed the Cambridge First for Schools last year and barely got the C1 level, but I'm not happy with my English at all. I find my oral skills awful and I'm so shy when it comes to speaking with native speakers, especially when their French is great :') also, I would like to sound rather British but I've only met American people so far... I'm trying to take advantage of the quarantine to improve :)
