Thank you for your generous words. I am so glad to know you find the lessons helpful. My best wishes to you, heresomewhere.
I’am very happy to find this very usefull page!
Thank you Rebecca for this useful lesson!
I like to hear the American accent! For example: the typical “r”-sound (like in; for, from, brother, etc.)!
And sometimes I succeed to imitate this as very well. ;-)
So, what do you say always: PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!!! :-))))
I’m sure this is a very important step. Are very important to beginers speaker. It’s very fun, it’s the magic of languages, especially in the reduce forms.
Thank you Rebecca!
Great teacher.. Can you help me how to take another exam.?
Excellent lesson by an excellent teacher!!

Hi, I was just wondering if I could use your videos in Youtube on my website to help us Chinese learn authentic American English. Thanks a lot for your terrific lessons.
Hoping for your reply soon.
Eric
You can link or embed them, but you can’t download them or make copies to put on your site.
Many thanks for your reply. I will not do it coz we have no access to youtube.
Thank you Rebecca.
For your pronunciation video lesson.
How to use to, for and from.
Hi Rebecca! Thanks for this new lesson. I think that the pronunciation lessons like this are very useful. I keep in mind several yours, and other teachers lessons at engvid, that taught me how to pronounce correctly common word and phrases that I mispronounce. Till next lesson!
I can start my day happily after this good lesson. Thanks Rebecca.

Hello Rebecca!I want to thank you for this amazing video. I really loved your lesson and found it very useful for foreign learners to pronounce such kind of prepositions as native speakers. I remember your lesson and will practise.

the main issue that i am dealing with indians and i think i am losing my accent
Thank you so much ma’am for this lesson!
May God bless you!
Thank you, now i’ve got it. An average English speaker speaks like a Moscovite.)))
thanks for you your way to learn it so easy
Rebecca is so cute )
thank Rebecca
Hello, Rebecca! This is a very interesting lesson on the topic of pretexts. Here is an interesting example of the use of the preposition for. Noun + preposition (reason for, cause of etc.)
Noun + for
a cheque for (a sum of money):
They sent me a cheque $75.
a demand For/ a need for…:
The firm closed down because there wasn’t enough demand for its product.
There’s no excuse for behavior like that. There’s no need for it.
a reason for…:
The train was late but nobody knew the reason for the delay. (not ‘reason of’)
Noun + to…
damage to…
The accident was my fault, so I had to pay for the damage to the other car.
Thank you all for teaching us we are leaning more than ever before. There are any solution against problems i want you to never stop forward and froward
Bit disappointing, because it was not the pronunciation that I was looking for, but how to apply these words to sentences. Most of us often get confused whether to use “to” or “for” when speaking or writing and sadly that was not explained in this lesson :(
I’m sorry this lesson wasn’t your thing! We do have some lessons on when to use “to” and “for”: English Grammar – TO & FOR and When NOT to use TO by Ronnie, and TO or FOR? Prepositions in English by Adam.
Thank you for the information and the links. I will follow try them.
I liked. Please give us more about this lessons.

Great lessons teacher Robbeca but why we don’t have a quiz on this lesson?
Hi Rebecca,
You’re such a talented teacher. Not only that you know what to teach, but how to educate your listeners (students). I have learned a lot from your videos. My English language has improved greatly.
May I ask you to do a pronunciation lesson on different words that are pronounced almost the same. For example, it’s and its or heart and hard .. ect. And also, a lesson on linking words in reading or speaking. For instance, hold on is like hol-don or I like it I li-kit. Please help us in this particular area.
Thanks
i watched the second lesson for you talk about pronuncition but i did not see any test , i wanna ask if there is any test for this lessons?
