7 Powerful Photography Tips for Amazing Photos - Duration: 17:57.
Bonjour Madame and Monsieur in this episode I'm going to give you seven tricks
to make amazing landscape photography
Bonjour Madame and Monsieur my name is Serge Ramelli I am a french Photographer from the
amazing city of Paris France but living in Los Angeles California
and I'm back in Los Angeles California after a few weeks of travel in Paris
south of France and the north of Italy and I was doing this challenge while I
was travelling 30 days 30 videos in the end I finished with only 27 videos
because at the end was really rough you know no Wi-Fi changing hotels all the
time but anyways I did 27 out of 30 videos I hope you enjoyed it - two things
first I made a challenge while I was doing this on the black-and-white video
where I propose people if they would leave a comment to win one of the Paris
or New York I will reveal the winner at the end of this video for now let me
show you seven tricks seven special sauce secret sauce to improve your
landscape for the weapon just before we get started if you don't have Lightroom
and Photoshop Adobe is going to stop the promotion of 20% off on the first year
on Lightroom and Photoshop I think it is going to be this Friday the 2nd of June
so if you want to pay seven dollars 99 instead of $10 99 or you have to do is
act now go to photo 3 calm my gear page my gear page and click here if you
create a free account you will get the 20% off on Lightroom 4 surface of the
entire alright let's jump over to a Lightroom and let me show you what we're
going to be doing so this is the before photo and this is the final photo much
nicer and I'm going to show some secret sauce so I'm going to give you seven
different tricks that are seeing a really special and I can really help you
you know maybe to take your landscape to the next level trick number one find an
interesting foreground you see in this photo I have that sunset you know
everywhere is nice but I really took the time to find the right flowers the right
combination of flower until I had something that was really
interesting so you know it's always easy to find a sunset it's always easy to
find like a nice tree a nice hail or a nice you know subject but it is really
hard to find right for one and I spend most my time when I do cityscape and
then cable looking for the right foreground I love how the flowers I mean
that that poppy field was amazing but I love have you know this is a bit more
green and I'll have this flower in here this hour there anyway it took me a bit
of time to fight to find the right a height for my tripod to get the right
for one so finding the right for gun is very important of course the street
number two is shoot at the right light if you come on this scene like an hour
before or two hours before you you wouldn't get the Sun coming through the
flowers you wouldn't get this shininess you wouldn't get this amazing sky that
you wouldn't get the third trick is focus on the for one element a lot of
people is asking me Oh where do you focus when you do your landscape on this
one I really wanted to focus on the flowers because I wanted to be sure them
to be really sharp you see and I didn't care that this was not sharp here in the
back if you look at my settings I'm shooting at seven point one I use a 100
always the lowest ISO I'm on a tripod but the thing is one eight years of a
second was the speed I needed because it was a bit of wind to make sure that all
the flowers are super super sharp so if I went to f-16 or f-22 to make sure that
I had enough you know that everything was in focus everything with sharp the
problem is that I would have a low shutter speed or a high ISO and I would
get everything would be blurry basically so yes my you know that's a field would
be big but because that is slow speed I would you know I would get the flowers
not sharp so if you have to choose always make sure you're for one is very
sharp doesn't matter that the trees in the back are a little blurry you know
people are going to look at your form especially when it's the you know the
main interest so that's one thing that's really important you can use manual
focusing or you can just make sure that the focusing in your photo you know if
you can tell press halfway on your on your shutter to
make sure the full run is really the focus point okay the next one is the
retouching itself and the way I retouch it and the way I'd give users guy now
why do I say it's important to diffuse this guy well let me show you you see me
over yours often you open up the shadows and bring down the highlights and doing
the whites and a black the problem when you do that you get a very contrasty sky
and in this case that is not something that I want I don't necessarily want
that because it looks you know contrast in the sky looks very HDR looks very
basically retouched I want to give the illusion to people that you know I don't
want to put the attention on the retouching I just want to put the
attention on the beauty of the scene so what I do now when I have bright clouds
like this is instead of going minus 100 i defuse the sky a lot so that's one
thing they do then I have to find the right white balance so that let me do
some let me do the blacks here add some contrast now for the white balance of
the overall white balance I think I'm going to go to shade because I like the
idea that's very warm and I'm going to add a bit of magenta that's usually what
I do okay I'm also going to recrop the photo so
that I have a lot more attention on the flower and less on the aamna on the back
here so that the trick really number four is diffuse the sky so what I
usually do to even diffuse it even more is that I take a graded filter here and
I go to clarity it's going to put everything down to zero and add a bit of
- clarity here in the sky just to diffuse this guy even more and on the
opposite to make my point I create another gradient here at the bottom for
the flowers and on this one I'm going to add clarity and on this one I'm going to
add it maybe a little bit of green I can even change the white balance here I
could add even another one - you know make the foreground a little darker here
so I basically have one white balance of and another one for the overall photo
okay so that was a trick the main trick here was to diffuse this guy I think I'm
going to bid the whole photo a load brighter add a bit more contrast but
that's not all because we're going to do a lot more in in Photoshop because you
know we have this ugly lines here and I want show you really cool trick that not
a lot of people know to raise this really quickly so let's go into
Photoshop and continue this retouching
Photoshop and the first thing going to do is going to take my background I'm
going to drag it drop it here to make a copy and lets you raise these power
lines the thing with power lines which is
really painful is that it's long lines like this and it's kind of a pain in the
butt if you see what I mean so what I usually do is I going to take this tool
here you can press J which is called the spot The Healing Brush tool you got two
tools in Photoshop that can erase part one is called the Spot Healing Brush
tool and the other one is called a Healing Brush tool what I'm looking for
is a Healing Brush tool why because the Healing Brush tool basically works a
lack of the stem tool meaning you can click here I can click here and say okay
I want this pixel here to be copied here okay and then of course you can drag you
know with your mouse like this and it's going to do its best but it takes a bit
of time let me undo this I'll show you a faster way so you hold on the option key
you click here you click one time you hold down the shift key you go all the
way here although at the end and you just do one click boom look at that and
it just erased the whole thing in one click okay so for the second line I'm
going to take care of the bottom one first I'm going to click option click on
this one and I'm going to go all the way here and see what that's going to happen
not bad not bad this one when you have a small one there you can just click maybe
click here and it talks it takes a lot of power so sometimes you have to wait a
little bit have to wait a bit and you know it does create some like pattern
that you see that we have to correct but that's fine it's a second passing book
so next time is click here one time here hold down the shift key again let's go
here boom see we have a pattern here that we
need to clean up okay again click here hold down the shift key
boom let's make this a little bigger to make any tool bigger in Photoshop you
just hold down the ctrl + Alt key I'm going to click here one time hold down
the shift key oops again
alright so it's not doing it sorry I'm going to click here click here
and hold down the shift key voila alright and okay now let's
continue to zoom in this I can this I'm going to do with the stem tool when your
thumbs or I don't know no actually let's go back to this one like this let's
clean that up so I'm going to sample some stuff from there and click here but
like the main trick I want to show you is this long lines you know you can just
hold on a shift key goes really fast some people don't know that well ah
and this I'm going to click here hold on the shift key boom hold on shift key I
used to spend a lot of time before I found out this trick of the shift key it
goes much faster so that's okay now we got something we are there so when it's
like this usually I go and take the stem tool you press s with stem tool and I'm
going to make sure that my harness is about 80% and maybe I'm going to copy
that here voila and let's go back and put the harness back again at zero the
reason why I put the harness at 70 year is I wanted to have the top of the tree
to not be fuzzy but now I want to get a clouds back so I'm going to put the
harness back at zero I'm going to copy this and is going to make like a soft
copy okay and using this tempo I can go back and usually what I do is I lower
the opacity of my stem tool and I just do some correction so I'm just gonna I
just sort of bland different clouds with different clouds really fast and the
fact that I'm not that my opacity is at 57 it just makes both of things here
that's some weird pattern there and you know it just uses them too like this to
make it more random again and voila here we have some patterns and there was
a lot of wires and you see in a few clicks in a few seconds I erased
everything with that little trick of holding the shift key
voila so that's the before and that's the after I'm in a bit more before after
you can see a bit of a pattern you're so stem tool here again and let's
just click here the good thing is you know clouds are so random that it's hard
hard to tell okay so now we raised the power line let's go to the next thing
units which is tip number six AB bag the Sun so what I'm going to do is I'm have
in my library and I'm going to give this if you subscribe to my website if you
use the link that's below this video it's going to take you to my website
it's a special link where if you subscribe to my daily newsletter you
will be able to get this for free so the way it works is I'm going to use this
Sun I drag and drop this in my shot by default it's a smart object because
it's coming from the library and library is so cool in in Photoshop because you
can just drag and drop items into it and reuse them later so if you open this
file if you download this from my website you can just open your library
and drag and drop it back in into into your library it will be there for you
forever so this is a cool Sun and I'm going to make this one smaller so I'm
holding on the shift and option key to make it smaller in its center I'm going
to put it roughly where the Sun is and voila the Sun is there now kind of wear
them but if you use the screen mode boom it takes out anything which is basically
black and makes it transparent and now all we get is a sunrays so before after
before after that expressing but you see here there's a bit of a square so you
can just add a little mask by clicking here be for brush make sure but a black
is your foreground color opacity around 40 that's fine and you just brush out
that little the top here so that we don't see like a sort of a square you
know we just get the light rays and what up so that was tip number six add back
the Sun to make the light rays more interesting and now I'm going to save
this I'm going to close and save and I'm going to go back to Lightroom and we're
ready for tip number seven which is double development what I mean by double
development is usually I go back into Lightroom and I reopen up a bit the
shadows are we do I blacks it gives an extra punch to your
photo in this one I think I want to make the bottom of the photo a little darker
again I basically take a fresh look at it you know and give it a second pass
let's put it this way I can try making the top of the sky lower no I don't want
to do that I really want have this diffuse sky
okay and one thing that I do also is I usually take a little brush add some
exposure some and some clarity and I just bring back a bit of light randomly
here in the flower on the foreground maybe a little more not that much with
contrast and clarity just to make some of them pop a little bit more drag a
little more attention okay and if it's too much which is the case here you can
just lower that's a good thing about you know non-destructive workflow and voila
so just that extra little you know white going on here in the foreground and this
is how we went from this to this seven little secret sauce to you know help
boost your landscapes and now I want to talk to you about my training if you go
to my course page you will see there is a list of sixteen different courses
which is my sequence of training that I recommend you can either buy the course
individually or you can buy them is in one package where instead of paying one
thousand seven and forty eight dollars you'll pay three hundred forty dollars
okay in this video I'm going to talk to you about one course for example the
portrait composite workflow it's really one of my favorite course and some of
the photos that I got are some of the ones I like the most all time so
basically here you have an actor on set that there is some flash so I'm shooting
the background I'm shooting the actor on set so that's the background that's the
actor with some flash which are very cheap and I give you all the you know
where to purchase a flash and that's the final result same idea
small flash I mean I think the whole thing cost like $200 this is the cowboy
that's the background and that's the final result here is another one with
the flash so with the flash that's the foot of the
background and that's the final result that's another one in the bar so we have
the actor that's there with the flattest my buddy Kelvin and that's the final
result that's another one that this one is really straightforward I just took
him against the wall I found this background in Los Angeles
and boom that's the final result if you enjoy this type of Rafi this is a radio
course that I recommend now for a limited time only if you want to get all
my trading instead of paying three hundred forty dollars you can pay two
hundred and ninety nine dollars forty one dollar less by using the code

Part 2: Ben Jealous Enters MD Governor's Race Campaigning for Economic & Social Justice - Duration: 15:40.
AMY GOODMAN: Here on Democracy Now!, democracynow.org, The War and Peace Report.
I'm Amy Goodman.
On Wednesday, just after former NAACP President Ben Jealous announced he's officially entering
the race for governor in Maryland, I sat down and interviewed him.
AMY GOODMAN: I want to ask you about the murder of Richard Collins III earlier this month.
Just a few days before his graduation, Collins, a black student, Army lieutenant, at Bowie
State University in Maryland, was visiting the nearby University of Maryland at College
Park when he was stabbed at a bus stop near campus by Sean Urbanski, a white student who
was a senior there.
Though investigators have not yet determined whether the killing was a hate crime, Urbanski
was a member of a now-deleted Facebook group called "Alt-Reich: Nation," which published
white supremacist content.
I wanted to ask you about this, something that the man you'll be running against,
Republican Governor Larry Hogan, who hopes to be the second Republican governor to win
a second term since the 1950s—he condemned this on his Facebook page.
I wanted to ask you about his response, how you would respond differently, especially
in light of—you were one of the leading voices in the country when it came to the
murder of Trayvon Martin by the white vigilante, George Zimmerman.
BENJAMIN JEALOUS: You know, I commend Governor Hogan for speaking up and speaking out.
He, quite frankly, was one of the few in our state who did.
There were many folks that day who oddly—leaders in our state—commented about Manchester
and didn't comment about College Park.
And I appreciate him for doing that.
I sat there amongst the students at Bowie State, students from Bowie State and from
College Park, from the surrounding community, all grieving.
They should have been at the highest moment of their lives, as they or their friends were
graduating from college, but the actions of this killer, this deranged, hate-infused killer,
had brought us all to the lowest of lows.
And I was inspired by them and their resilience and their hope and their love and their ability
to come together across all the lines of race and religion, that we're told in our society
again and again are so important, as if they don't matter a thing, just by their love
for each other and their determination to build a better future.
And I saw it again with Richard Collins' family when I sat a few aisles over from them
at their son's funeral—again, a family really grounded in love of God and country
and family, resiliently and defiantly saying that they were going to be like Dr. King and
choose love over hatred, because hatred was too much of a burden to bear.
Richard Collins was a beautiful young man who truly dedicated his life to serving others,
who was cut down on a college campus just a couple of days after he was commissioned
as a second lieutenant in our Army.
One of the most beautiful things that was said at his funeral was by an administrator
at Bowie State who said that he hoped that there would be a medal ribbon for a young
man who had waged a war against hate, because, you see, when this young man with this knife
approached Richard and told him to get out of the way, so clearly menacingly full of
hate, Richard said no, that he—and it was that refusing to allow himself or his friends
to be degraded and humiliated, because of their color or the color of their friends,
that ultimately cost him his life.
Our young men have too much to worry about to have to worry about this, too.
And we've had two white young men in Maryland in the last six months or so kill black men
apparently because of their race, once in New York City, once here in Maryland.
It's time for our leaders in the state to go even further.
We've got to really admit that when it comes to the issue of hatred and tension, ethnic
tension, there is nothing different about our state—you know, there's nothing here
that either exists or doesn't exist that's not in the rest of the country.
We have all of the problems.
We are a microcosm of this country.
But what makes us different, especially among states south of the Mason-Dixon, is that we've
shown our ability to come together courageously on issues of civil rights.
We had one year here, Amy, where we abolished the death penalty, passed marriage equality,
passed the DREAM Act and expanded voting rights, even as our neighbors were suppressing them.
And it's time for us to have a governor to really lead our state in doing that again.
And that's where I think, you know, Hogan could do more.
I was glad that he spoke out, but he is not showing real leadership to pull us together
to have the tough conversations, to really challenge people—many of them in his own
party—to evolve, to move on, to open their hearts, to follow the examples of George Wallace,
of Robert Byrd, of so many other people, once filled with hate, who learned how to love.
It's time for us in Maryland to really come together.
And, you know, Amy, it has great—it has great meaning to me.
In about week or so, we'll be celebrating—almost two weeks—we'll be celebrating the 50th
anniversary of Loving v. Virginia, you know, that case that made my own parents' marriage
legal here in Maryland and set us on the path to really having full marriage equality, as
we now have with some of the laws that we passed just a few years ago.
And that's an example of what it looks like when government leaders—in that case, judges—act
courageously to help us all come together.
And we need more of that right now.
AMY GOODMAN: Can you talk about your parents and what that meant, that they lived in Maryland
and couldn't marry, because your father was white and your mother African-American?
BENJAMIN JEALOUS: Yes.
You know, my parents met in Baltimore as teachers at Harlem Park Junior High.
My mom had desegregated Western High School for girls here about a decade earlier.
My father was one of the few white men jailed in Baltimore for lunch counter sit-ins, lunch
counter desegregation sit-ins.
They were bonded as civil rights workers and as fellow teachers.
They fell in love.
And they were forced, actually, to drive 50 miles to get married inside of Washington,
D.C., because it was illegal for them to be married here.
And then they were required to move out of the state, because, literally, like the Lovings,
they would have to go to bed every night fearing that the sheriff or the police could come
storming into their house to lock them up just simply for being married across racial
lines.
My parents instilled in me a great sense of hope and belief in our country, and also the
strength and the courage—and also the strength and the courage to defy even the law when
it is unjust.
And in these times, when we have President Trump pushing families of our neighbors here
in Maryland deeper into the shadows so that they can be threatened and their families
torn apart by his bad policies, and our governor remains silent, now we're living through
times that call for each of us to decide whether we are going to collaborate with unjust laws
that needlessly humiliate families or we are going to stand up and resist and ultimately
come together as neighbors and move our state forward.
And that's why I'm throwing my hat in the ring and I'm running to be the next
governor of the great state of Maryland.
AMY GOODMAN: Ben, Our Revolution just tweeted, "Our inaugural board member Ben Jealous is
making a big announcement today from Baltimore."
You're on the board of Our Revolution.
You were an early supporter of Bernie Sanders.
Is Bernie Sanders going to be endorsing you?
And how does your agenda fit into the overall Sanders-Our Revolution agenda?
BENJAMIN JEALOUS: You know, Bernie and I bonded, as I chaired his campaign here in Maryland,
as I helped convince people across the country and across our state to vote for him.
We see the world very similarly.
He, like my father, was one of the few white men to go to jail with the Congress of Racial
Equality in desegregation sit-ins.
And he, you know, like so many activists of that generation, has been consistent his entire
life, always fighting for racial justice and economic justice.
His platform is very similar, quite frankly, in many ways to the platform of the NAACP:
the call for raising the minimum wage, the call for ensuring that we recognize healthcare
as a right, the call to protect our environment, the call to support organizing, etc., and
also to support our small businesses.
And so I will very much push forward the agenda that we discussed in that campaign—ending
mass incarceration, using the savings to pay for ending this era of massive college debt.
I'll also bring to it me, bring to it my life lived as a community organizer, as a
civil rights leader, my demonstrated success helping to push states forward beyond eras
of mass incarceration and past justice—and pass Justice Reinvestment Act, so the money
gets reinvested in education.
I'll bring to it my experience working with small businesses, when I was young—when
I was young, running a trade association of more than 200 small businesses, and today,
as an investor in startups for good, startups that grow through the marketplace and make
the world better for working people, by solving tough problems like cutting the cost of calling
home from prison by 80 percent.
And so, it's—you know, I come into this as a civil rights leader, as a progressive,
very active in Jesse Jackson's campaign and Barack Obama's campaign and the Bernie
Sanders campaign.
And I also come into this as a citizen of our great state of Maryland who is absolutely
committed to growing our economy from the bottom up.
AMY GOODMAN: So, how would you distinguish yourself from—there's what?
Seven or eight people who are going to be running.
Someone—the first person to announce was Alec Ross, a former adviser the Hillary Clinton—
BENJAMIN JEALOUS: Yeah.
AMY GOODMAN: —tech entrepreneur.
Is this going to be a kind of Hillary Clinton-Bernie Sanders replay?
But also, you've been traveling the state, as others have.
And in a straw poll, you came in third last week behind Congressman John Delaney, as well
as the Baltimore County executive, Kamenetz, in a straw poll held in western Maryland.
BENJAMIN JEALOUS: You know, look, I was grateful to the people of western Maryland for the
time.
And, you know, that straw poll is of folks who gather at a meeting in Congressman Delaney's
district and not far from—you know, sort of in the same media market as Kevin Kamenetz.
And it was an honor to me, as the outsider, as the underdog, to come in third amongst
eight.
We've got a real shot here.
I mean, you know, when I guy who's rooted in West Baltimore comes in third, when he
hasn't even announced his campaign, in a poll in western Maryland, something's happening.
And folks in the state see that.
Our Revolution stretches across the state.
The NAACP crosses the state.
And it's those two traditions of progressivism and civil rights that I come out of, and it's
what makes our state so great and our chances so good.
So, we're going to run a tough campaign.
We have a real shot.
You know, somebody today said to me that this moment after Bernie's campaign reminds them
of 1989, after Jesse Jackson's campaign, when we saw Wilder win, when we saw Dinkins
win, when we saw Harold Washington win.
And we know that out of sort of great presidential campaigns that don't quite make it all the
way can come transformative movements that allow breakthrough candidates to move their
states, to move their cities forward in ways that nobody thought was possible just moments
before.
AMY GOODMAN: Ben Jealous, will you be accepting corporate contributions?
BENJAMIN JEALOUS: Of course not.
Of course not.
AMY GOODMAN: Will you be pushing for universal healthcare or single payer, Medicare for all?
BENJAMIN JEALOUS: I was—I was very clear today that we will ensure that every citizen
in Maryland has access to quality, affordable healthcare, no matter what happens in Washington.
This is my, you know, first day on the campaign.
We are digging into exactly how we'll do that.
I'm inspired by the states like New York and California that believe they have found
a way to provide the equivalent of Medicare for all.
I've asked for the details.
I've asked for those plans.
We are—we are digging in.
But this campaign starts, day one, from the position that healthcare is a right, not a
privilege, and that if the federal government seeks to take it away, seeks to even tolerate
the status quo, where so many of our neighbors don't have access to it, that we will find
a way, that everybody in our state will have access to quality, affordable healthcare.
And so we're— AMY GOODMAN: Does this mean you'll keep
running as an activist?
BENJAMIN JEALOUS: I don't know any other way.
I don't know any other way.
You know, I've been a civil rights activist and a progressive my entire life.
I'm the child of civil rights activists, I'm the grandchild of civil rights activists,
and I'm the great-grandchild of abolitionists.
And so, the reality is that I will run as Ben Jealous.
I will run as that, you know, organizer rooted in West Baltimore, but networked across this
country, and somebody who can lead the state in a way that helps us build from right where
we are, build a regenerative, organic, growing economy, but also benefit from bringing in
some of the biggest companies in the country to our state, because right now, for instance,
in the Silicon Valley, our peers at companies like Facebook and Google are under pressure
to become more inclusive, and here in Maryland, almost 20 percent of the computer scientists
are black.
Here in Maryland, you know, we have already begun building a great tech sector that has
defined itself by being the place where the world's greatest minds come to solve some
of the world's greatest problems, like cancer and cybersecurity.
And we can absolutely succeed in building a forward-thinking 21st century economy that
has room for all of our communities and helps to lift all boats, even as we make it easier
for folks to grow their flower shop or their detail shop.
AMY GOODMAN: Former NAACP President Ben Jealous is now running for governor of Maryland.
I spoke with them just after he announced his candidacy Wednesday outside his cousin's
West Baltimore flower shop, which she opened after the 2015 uprising that followed the
death of Freddie Gray in Baltimore police custody.
That does it for the show.
On Friday, we'll have more on President Trump's decision on the Paris climate accord.

COMO O AMERICANO VÊ O SOTAQUE BRASILEIRO parte 2, ft EnglishCentral - Duration: 9:14.
Previously, at Eric's Accent Reduction School...
The first word is...Rogério?
"Hedgie"
I stop-ped at...
And now, Part 2
Welcome to yet another class, my "dear" students.
Marilene?
What's up, broder?
Walquiria?
Bro-vehr
Rogério?
Brother.
My English is perfectttt.
Perfect! It's not perfecttttttt.
And your English is not so perfect.
How does a Brazilian accent sound in English?
And what are the most striking errors?
Seven months after the first "shocking" adventures of Eric's students,
And these three are still studying with him?
There must be a better way to hone your English.
Some app or platform that's just as good for individuals learning alone
as for schools that want to supplement classroom work.
In other news, we have a new partnership with...
...who? Patricia, hand me that paper.
It's EnglishCentral, a fun and effective app and platform
to improve your English through interesting videos,
equally good for individuals as it is for schools.
And much better than videos by...your Amigo Gringo?
Who wrote this thing!?!?
brought to you by EnglishCentral
In the first scene, you heard one of the hardest sounds for Brazilians learning English: "th"
Nobody knows this better than me, Seth!
There are two "th" sounds, the voiced "th"
and the unvoiced one.
Many Brazilians - and many other nationalities - can't manage to make it
They substitute "f" or "d': Sef, broder.
But it's not so complicated.
Are you able to breathe out of your mouth?
Now do it with your tongue right here.
Same thing with the voiced one.
OK, folks, let's get started with final consonants. Rogério?
Lighttttt
-Walquíria? -Clubbbbb.
-Marilene? -Stoppp. Stoppp! Really, stoppp!
OK, but it's "stop". None of this -p -p -p -p!
I need a break. You guys pronounce things so badly that it hurts! How I suffer for you!
Wow, those final consonants sometimes seem to disappear when an American speaks English, right?
But they're there!
Listen to the phrase "Not at all."
Nottt. Atttt. All.
It's not "notttt atttt all," it's "not at all."
Listen to the difference when I eliminate the t's.
Can you hear that? It's only the beginning of the "t," but it serves to divide the syllables.
Let's get back to class. See if you notice the verrrry subtle way that we inserted EnglishCentral in the video.
You almost can't tell it's there.
I need some fresh air. Folks, I'll be right back. Respond in English, please, the informal way I taught you.
No, it's uh-huh. Not ã-hã!
And while I'm out, you're punished! You have to use this EnglishCentral app that they're trying to sell my school.
It's really bad! It doesn't even shock you!
-What? You learn English watching videos? -Can you choose the topic?
See if there's something about animals.
Cool! But a cell phone can't evaluate your pronunciation. We need Eric back! Eric!!!!
Hold on, look at this here!
Never hit an animal.
Never hittttt an animal.
Whoa. Did it shock him?
No. His hand is in the socket.
Look, there are live teachers to discuss the videos with.
Hold on - before that, I have an idea.
Hey, let me in!
No, no, no! First, you need to pronounce all these words correctly.
"cobblestone"
"otolaryngologist"
Tomorrow the frogs will be in Butantã.
NEW YORKESE CLASS
I hope you liked the video! Thanks to EnglishCentral
for the partnership. Teachers and students can test the
EnglishCentral app for free and on the EnglishCentral YouTube channel that will appear around here shortly,
there are 37 videos about pronunciation, including one about "th".
Look how it's written phonetically. Look for that in the Pronunciation Tips playlist.
And now, your New Yorkese class. It's not just words you need to learn in English.
There are also exclamations. Remember this?
Uh-hããã...those nasal sounds that you use don't sound so great here.
In fact, for an American, that ããã you make sounds a bit disgusting,
as if you were straining to...it would be best not to say.
Try to eliminate the nasal part of it. To say "yes," or "I understand," it's "uh-huh."
And for no, use uh-uh. It's not ã-ã, and it's definitely not "tsk tsk."

[music playing]
This was definitely our three hottest
guys that we've seen so far.
Peter, Mark, and Ryan.
I almost want to forget what happened in the show
and just talk to you about the guys.
I found Peter so hot.
He was the Ukrainian guy.
And talking to him after, the body was super hot, you guys.
He was a 10, as far as I'm concerned.
Then you had the tall dude with the long hair.
He's a little Fabio-esque.
I told him during the break, when you cut your hair,
there is am even foxier guy waiting for you.
Keep your hair for as long as you want.
You think it's your thing.
I know, because I had really long hair in the '90s,
and it was atrosh.
The third guy was the male nurse.
He was super sweet.
He had a million-watt smile.
Clearly some eyebrow hygiene going on there, manscaping.
Want to know what your thoughts are on his eyebrows.
Want to know what your thoughts are on the man bun guy,
if he would be hotter to you with the short hair.
Tweet me @Andy #loveconnection.
