In my country, Brazil, we write the date format the same way as in British English, first the day, followed by the month and then the year. However, we do not write the month in capital letter unless when referring to a commemorative date.

Dear Lucy, /ɔːˈɡʌst/ pronunciation is for an adjective "august". For a noun August (month) the proper pronunciation is /ˈɔːɡəst/. And I'm a little bit surprised that you emphasize 1st syllable of September, October and November while on the screen I can see an accent mark before 2nd syllable which is(should be) emphasized. That's how I was taught.

@Amira1976 4 жыл бұрын

I was just going to write the same. You're right about September, October November and December as well. The stress is not on the first syllable but the second.

@manix6725 3 жыл бұрын

/ɑkˈtoʊbər/ :vr

@ajs41 3 жыл бұрын

@dianjii S She happens to be emphasising the first syllable on this particular video because the first syllable is the syllable that differs when reading all the months out together as a list. You wouldn't normally do that if you were just saying one of the months on its own, not as part of a list. Usually it would be sep-TEM-ber and oc-TOB-er. It's quite common to change the emphasis when reading out a list like this.

@ajs41 3 жыл бұрын

That isn't the usual way of pronouncing those months. It's because she's reading out a list where the ending of the word is mostly the same. It's the start of the word that tends to be different, so she's deliberately changed the emphasis to the first syllable because of the list situation. But by doing that, she's confused the issue slightly.

@sononeltuoarmadio zio ... i don't live in scotland, i'm an american. but i did visit it about 40 years ago. i drove north from london along britain's east coast. you could see the turbulent north sea off the coastline. when i crossed into scotland there was nothing but miles and miles of the most lush, green grasslands i ever saw. it was raining and as the rain dispersed the most beautiful and inviting rainbow formed across the sky. it looked as if the rainbow was emptying into the north sea. then i headed to inverness (loch ness) and stayed in a hostel there for about 3 days then headed to glasgow airport, london, to catch my plane back to the states. i visited several countries in europe. i loved them all but scotland was one of my favorites!

@sononeltuoarmadio zio ... if you speak english as well as you write it you're doing real well. yes. the italia people were fabulous. i drove down the adratic coast to pescara then cut across to rome and headed north again to the italian and french Riveras. that coastal road leading into southern france, looking out onto the Mediterranean was just gorgeous. the Mediterranean is just about the most beautiful BLUE i've ever seen.

@johnlabus7359 7 жыл бұрын

As an American, I also like to say Two Thousand instead of Twenty when referring to dates but I never put an "and" or "n" in between Two Thousand and whatever follows it. It feels perfectly natural to me to say "Two Thousand Seventeen". In fact, it feels very unnatural for me to say otherwise. There are Americans who also say Twenty Seventeen but I never hear "and" or "n" between the two halves of the date. For dates prior to 2010, here people say "Twenty-O-One" and so on.....mixing the letter O for the number zero.

@dbarnett 7 жыл бұрын

I was going to say something similar if it was not already explained in the comments. Saying "and" is entirely unnecessary in American English. It's okay, but it's entirely optional. As an addition to your comments, it's also common to hear people omit the "twenty" or "two thousand" and simply say "o-eight" but this only applies to the years 2001-2009. If asked when I graduated high school I might say I was part of the class of "o-four" instead of "two thousand four"

@ajs41 3 жыл бұрын

To British people, it feels like part of the general informality of American speech to miss out words like "and" and "of". Of course Americans probably don't view it as informality.

@DJKin98 Жыл бұрын

John, what about "the" between month and day? For example, I hear sometimes people saying April First, but also April "the" First. Some times I hear March Twenty-fifth, but also March "the" 26th. How does that work in American, please?

Does knowing to speak spanish fluently, not affect your accent?

@Nanipaji 7 жыл бұрын

Gandhar Gurav maybe, you can get confused with some words 🤔

@ib9rt 7 жыл бұрын

No, because the ability to speak in your native accent is something acquired since birth and hard-wired into your brain. Once you have learned the sounds of your native language this knowledge cannot be lost by learning other languages and sound systems later on. Also if you live among people speaking with a certain accent it becomes very natural to mimic the way they sound and to speak the same way. So if you live in England among people speaking with a British accent you will have no reason to lose your native British accent.

Yes, they say nineteen hundred (1900) or seventeen hundred (1700) . And notice that they even use that format for saying other numbers, for example, US$ 1400 fourteen hundred dollars (or one thousand four hundred dollars)

@hime_ichi 7 жыл бұрын

well nineteen hundred ... hundred #'s have two 0's so anytime like that it would be the number and two more zeros. would only say that if you were saying a range of dates -- or if it was on the 1900 to be exact . and like eduardo said, you can use that with money too.
