Good morning Amigos Ingleses, Isabel speaking how can I help?
ah well Phillip has the day off and to be honest, I don't want to disturb him
unless it's something very urgent.
Excuse me?
You've got an exam tomorrow?
Ok, give me a moment, I'm going to try.
What do you want?
I'm really sorry to call you but we have a student...
he's got an exam tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m. and ...
¿Cuál era la palabra?
'Cómodo', he wants to know how to pronounce 'cómodo' in English.
Comfortable. Is that correct?
Comfortable, it's comfortable
Ok, is that it?
Verdura?
Ok, verdura.
Vegetable
Okay?
Thank you so much, again
sorry to bother you and enjoy the rest of the day, okay?
I'll see you tomorrow at the office
It's been a pleasure to help you and best of luck with your exam tomorrow.
Excuse me?
But, no sorry, I really can't call him again
It's the final exam of your degree
Wait a moment please.
I've just lost two biscuits in my tea, because of you!!!
Connecting with a native speaker doesn't need to be so complicated nowadays, because we have apps like Cambly
you already know that Cambly is our favourite app to practise your speaking with natives from all around the world instantly.
and today we're actually going to call some of these teachers
and correct the pronunciation of some words that can be complicated
for Spanish speakers.
Let's see if they can understand us and if they can help us with the correct pronunciation.
Cambly has given us a free class for you.
so at the end of the video we'll let you know how to get it, okay?
And now, let's begin!
How's it going?
Pretty good, how are you?
All good, great. thank you.
I'd like you to think how you would pronounce his name.
Ok, so, what's your name sorry?
Liam, my name's Liam. Not Laiam?
no, no, Liam.
Okay, where are you from?
I'm from Connecticut, it's New York City
it's just north of New York City.
I have a strong accent because I'm from
near to Manchester.
Ah okay. Yeah, we saw your were from the UK.
yeah. Next to Manchester? What's the name of the place where you live?
It's Stoke-on-Trent.
Ah yeah, it sounds familiar. It rings a bell. Stoke-on- Trent.
Are you ready for my words?
Hmm, I'll do my best.
Health?
heard ... no?
It's something that you find in your body. Heart! In your chest.
You got it!
You heart pumps the blood around your body.
The heart as in: the heart is in your chest.
Minute
Mmm that's an interesting way to say it
Minute, it exists yeah.
It's two different words with the same spelling yeah so minute
what does it mean?
Very small, tiny, tiny, minute
Ah, minute!
As in: the dinner will be ready in a minute.
Biscuit!
I love to eat biscuits.
Biscuit!
People in England love biscuits.
True, and crumpets
especially with tea.
Tool?
Tool or tour?
Ok, so tour, the correct pronunciation is tour.
So I would like to take a tour of the city.
Iceland? Like the country?
Well, actually Iceland is an Island, so ...
Oh! Island
You got it!
Island, the correct pronunciation is island.
So Hawaii is an island.
Tricky one!
I'm from the UK and I live on a island.
That's a good one. We get very confused with prepositions so many people say
I live in an 'Iceland'.
So I live on an island.
You can do this one, go for it!
Usually my students say 'iron'
Iron?
iron? Is it iron? Okay
So the correct pronunciation is iron.
The building's foundation is made of iron.
All my students say parents and then I correct them and then they keep saying
parents parents parents
I say no it's parents. Parents, ok?
So an example would be my parents retired in Florida.
In the UK we retire to Spain
Oh actually yeah I went to Spain
and there were so many British people.
I hope they were behaving.
They were, they were nice, they were just playing golf
Law
I'm studying law at University.
Law, the pronunciation is law.
So, robbing from a bank is against the law.
Perfect!
Have you ever broken the law?
Not on purpose,
maybe I've done something and I didn't know
actually when I was three I stole candy I don't remember but my mom says I
I stole candy. I wanted candy and she wouldn't buy it so I came out with a
fistful of lollipops
Wow, oh dear...
Have you ever broken the law Liam?
Be honest be honest
I yes I've broken the law probably a few times
yeah okay maybe yeah
a few times?
maybe speeding or something like this. Going over the speed limit or...
On purpose?
Probably not on purpose but without realising. I see ...
Food
Flute
Flood!
Ah there you go!
Third time lucky.
Flood
That's it
flood
so when there's non-stop rain it becomes a flood.
So, for example, when you're a vegetarian you don't eat 'sticks'
Steak steak!
Steak.
So, I would like my steak to be rare.
So, who's the author of this book?
Author!
So the correct pronunciation is author.
George Orwell is my favourite author.
J K Rowling is my favourite author.
You're a Harry Potter fan!
Oh I love Harry Potter yes.
but I think you pronounce this word a little bit different
in Britain we don't pronounce the R so it's just author author
but you guys in the States I think you pronounce the R at the end right?
mostly except in Boston.
They drop the R's in Boston a lot
so the Boston pronunciation is more similar to the British one
yeah exactly
and how would you pronounce it again
let's hear your pronunciation
author
I'm gonna move to America you know what
might be easier.
I'm tired of the British pronunciation, it's too hard for us.
Give me that!
Sorry.
Can I ask you... What should you do if you are in Connecticut and you encounter a bear?
What is the best thing to do in that situation?
Depends on the bear
I can't remember specifically which species you're supposed to attack
and which species you run away or stand still
but some of them, you have to be as big as you can be, you spread yourself out and make noise.
to try and scare them?
Yeah
If they think they can eat you, they'll eat you but if you are like ... make yourself as big as possible
But what if the bear is running towards you? What should you do?
Run. Well actually it would outrun you. It depends what you're close to
I wouldn't run though for most bears.
I've heard some people say, the best thing to do is to play dead.
Yes, that's another good strategy, is just stop moving.
Do you think that'd work though?
Depends on the bear
sometimes
Depends on how hungry the bear is.
I would just run as fast as I could.
I'd probably clim a tree, I think.
Oh climbing, going to high places, that could help you.
I ironed this before I came online yes.
And your trousers, have you ironed your trousers?
Actually, these are jeans, so I don't iron these.
Ah ok.
These are not ironed.
You're wearing trousers though, right?
I am wearing trousers, yes. Luckily for you.
I've got a few more...
100 more
no I'm just kidding. We've got... how many? Four?
four left.
I've got a few more. One hundred more.
No, I'm just kidding, we've got, how many? Four left.
