Next phrase is:

I heard the fish here is fantastic.

Wow yes!

I heard the fish here is fantastic.

I speak higher. I heard the fish here is fantastic.

Let's look at these words and sounds.

Okay, I heard

Most people don't have a problem with I, but notice I.

One of the biggest problems that I see in students learning English is:

If they would open their mouth, more move it more many of their pronunciation problem will stop because if they say:

I have, I heard, I heard how it maybe I would say one I'll, I heard.

What is I heard not a hundred we mean handened, present I heard you now so it's gotta be I, I exaggerated I, I.

I heard , most people people don't have problems with /h/ sound /h/ just breath coming out, air coming out, heard it's the /ae/ that gives most people the problem . So it's like saying her

Her like: that's her car, that's her purse, okay so her notice again with the /ae/ my lips going out.

I exaggerating because that's the way we start to learn pronunciation correctly make it big for the mind, exaggerate after time it gets smaller and more precise.

Okay heard member back teeth and ends of the back of the tongue and touching

Her, her, her

Its voice when I touch my throat I can feel it vibrate.

Her, her, her,

If you wanna drive someone crazy just do this all day.

Her, her stare at them its better and touch your thought and look at them herd.

The final sound is /d/ we talk about this before it's the tip of tongue touching the alveolar ridge.

And its light in quick heard, heard. I heard.

You don't wanna say I her because then the persons can I think you're saying I her. What do you mean I her? You are guy you are not a her.

Plus that does make sense anyway, what's going on?

I heard the voice /th/,

really listen to how I'm saying these words and then try to imitate their.

Sometimes people will you know I'll say it but they're not really listening to the sounds they just trying make this sound themselves and its wrong.

You take your time with this stuff one step at a time: first step, second step, third step.

If you rush it it's not gonna happen.

It just won't happen.

Listen time saying and then try to imitate that sound.

I heard the fish remember /f/ sound its voice less if I touch my throat no vibration /f/ sort /i/ it's not iii

A lot of people say fiish, I like to eat fiiish.

Oh you have some fiiish.

No.

Fish short /i/ short low.

Break it off don't extended.

Fish- air is coming out.

Like you telling someone to be quiet sssshhh.

If you having trouble with that sound notice what I'm doing, my lips are out shhhh

Don't rush it!

I heard the fish here, here.

Biggest problem are the /a/ sound.

Like he, she. You can say he. I'm sure.

Hear

Keep working on the /a/. Don't get discouraged!

You will get it.

Each takes some time here.

Even really exaggerated to get your brain understanding are there something new.

I heard the fish here is, short vowel sound /i/ short /i/.

Look my mouth it's not smiling.

My mouth is not smiling!?

It is like you angry.

Iz, Iz it is a buzzing sound, we come across that before is.

I heard the fish here is fantastic.

This might be a new vocabulary word for you - fantastic.

It's good word; it's a very positive word.

It can be used in many situations, of far compliments.

Your work on that project was fantastic.

Good so, to good word to know.

Fantastic

Gad exaggerate and stretched that vowel sound.

The tip of the tongue touches the alveolar ridge fan and holes there.

/n/ it's nasal sound, you can feel it in your nose.

I feel it here too. For most of you getting this part of the word correct is all about stretching the vowel which means exaggerating.

So it is

Fan-ta-stick.

/t/ explodes the tip of tongue at the alveolar ridge and t,t,t. Explodes out.

Stikyou know I could stick.

This is not a stick, you know a statement you find outside you throw a stick to a dog, dog runs to catch it.

Stik- short /i/

/k/ back into tongue, touching the very back on the hard palate.

I'm sorry I'm said -task, I could say task fan-ta-stik.

See how I’, exaggerating my mouth right now.

That's what you should be doing.

You should be doing it more than me.

Okay, nothing to be embarrassed about.

If you wanna learn the language you want to pronounce well go for it, don't be afraid fantastic.

OK so the phrase is:

I heard the fish here is fantastic.

More at a natural paceI heard the fish here is fantastic.

I heard the fish here is fantastic.

Sometimes people colorful language and really stretch it out even more the sound interesting, fun and exciting.

I heard the fish here is fantastic.

You know this is the sort of things you need to do when you're practicing. Make it bigger, make it more fun, pretend you're in the country that speaks that language in your talking with friends in you having a great time and you're confident and you're pronouncing everything, just wonderfully, so good!

I should say so good. I'm trying to do you know like Italians. So good!

Alright, so practice this, pause the video player and rewind it as many times as you need.

Haw fun with it and master this phrase alright.
