I have no knowledge ... ( 2 weeks ago by JenniferESL)

I have no knowledge of Spanish, so I wouldn't be able to compare/ contrast sounds. I could address the IPA, though. Have you looked at other channels? Some English teachers on YouTube focus entirely on accent reduction/ pronunciation and have presented the IPA.
In any case, thanks for posting a comment. Best wishes to you.

Sure! I addressed this in a grammar video on the simple past tense. Look at my playlist for Basic Grammar. Let me know if you have trouble locating it.

No, I'm sorry I ... ( 2 weeks ago by JenniferESL)

No, I'm sorry I don't. I'll note your request. In the meantime, are you comfortable saying /s/ and /t/ separately? Of the two, is /t/ more difficult? I may be able to provide some tips via comments.

This was one of my first videos. The filming in later videos is still not professional, but it has improved. I hope to get a tripod soon. :)
(A professional camera and lighting crew would be even better, but it's just not in the budget right now!)

Thanks for your ... ( 2 weeks ago by orkayen)

Thanks for your reply, Jennifer. Yes. I am able to say /s/ separately such as sat, set, sit and /t/ separately such as talk, table. Some people used to ask me to repeat when I pronounce words such as stop, start, stuck, strike, thirst, first, and must. It would really help me if you could provide some tips such as position of the tongue for such words.

thanks Jennifer.

I wonder what about ... ( 1 week ago by nanumsue)

I wonder what about 'with'. I think it sounds unvoiced sound like both. However I hear a lot of people say 'with' with voiced sound. What is correct?(I really learn a lot from your video. Thank you so much!)

thank you... ( 1 week ago by hamo03)

thank you...

You ask a good ... ( 1 week ago by JenniferESL)

You ask a good question. I'm not certain I can provide a complete answer, so I welcome other teachers to add their comments.
American dictionaries recognize both the voiced and unvoiced ending in WITH. I think when we say it alone or before a pause, the TH is unvoiced. In phrases or words in which the TH is followed by a vowel sound (a voiced sound), the TH is usually voiced.

Array ( 1 week ago by JenniferESL)

Examples:
Who went with Paul? = unvoiced
Who did he go with? = unvoiced
With whom? = unvoiced
With Anne? = voiced
With Erica? = voiced
He went without her. = voiced
He left the dance within the first hour. = voiced
Again, I don't have a source to confirm any of this. If I can find confirmation, I'll let you know.

I am an Asian student in Canada. I took English pronounciation classes from professrional White female professor here. And I listened Jennifer's classes again and again online too. I do think she is awesome and make everygthing possible for non-English speaker to get it. I am not sure what do you mean that Jennifer talks to herself. She also give your tips about how to place your tongue. I feel it is very helpful to me.
