Pronouncing Nationalities in English

8 out of 10… I’ll try to do better next time.

Thanks for the lesson Rebecca!

Geraldo

Thanks a lot it was a great lesson!

christodoulos

These are only some good guidelines to pronounce nationalities.

Dutch (Holland) and Togolese (Tongo)-for example- are exceptions that prove the rule.

Regards and all the best to you Rebecca.

Dear Mrs.Rebecca,
It’s very sad that none of the teachers respond/answers to our questions. I have been writing to all the teachers including you, but none of you have replied. It’s quite discouraging and disappointing when teachers like you don’t respond.
Best Regards,

dayanandaraok

We do appreciate your taking the time to write. All the teachers work full-time in addition to engvid. If you look back through other lessons, you will see that we do answer questions whenever we can. All the best with your English.

frankosk8

thank you

levi1

9 correct out of 10, lol thanks for the lesson

wellington

u didnt said about _ese.. like chinese, lebanese, vietnamese??? actually, what things that make them different??

mukti

You are absolutely right – that is another pattern, ending with “ese”, as in Japanese & Portuguese. There are historic and linguistic reasons for the various suffixes (endings) used.

In this lesson, I only covered a few of the endings. Another one includes er, as in Icelander.

All the best with your English.

Rebecca

Hi Rebecca..I REALLY hope that you could make a video about diffrentiate between American,British and Australian English because in my country we’re using British English…By the way,thanks a lot for this very helpful video..
