    Can you figure out how many English mistakes we made in this video? We are sure there were a lot haha lol
  • @albaleria
    "I don't make that mistake anymore" ... 1 minute later "estudents"šŸ˜…
  • @sacroyalty
    You guys are impressive for the fact you're recording yourselves speaking a second language. As a native English speaker you guys both do great. Respect!
  • @Mithsn
    Sheā€™s not crazy. šŸ˜‚ I believe itā€™s a Spanish speaker problem to not be able to hear the difference between some words.
  • Iā€™m native Spanish speaker too and I really donā€™t hear any difference As Joss said, I hear a slight difference but I canā€™t say it correct, itā€™s kinda weird šŸ˜¢
  • Santo Cristo! Siempre digo ā€œcan you take me a photo?ā€ šŸ˜­šŸ˜‚
  • @Caneladorada
    "These" and "this" now available at storesšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
  • @Sarahmoon_
    Yo tampoco oigo la diferencia de "this" and "these" šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø
  • No me di cuenta de que estaban hablando en ingles hasta los 34 segundos del video Creo que mi ingles ha mejorado mucho
  • Mistaking "her" and "his" and also "she" and "he" is something I do pretty often!! I thought I was the only one, now I don't feel so bad hahaha, I feel you Joss <3
  • @matteo4661
    As an italian speaker for me too is difficult to say this and these
  • @GH-si4wq
    Spanish is my first language too, and I do hear the difference between "this/these" and "beach/b*tch" Basically it's the pronunciation of the vowel. For These and Beach, the sound is of a very clear Spanish "i" while This and B*tch are more relaxed almost mixed with an "e" sound. Pronounce an "e" in Spanish and then an "i," notice how your tongue moves in your mouth to make both sounds. Now keeping the shape of the tongue when you pronounce the "e" and the shape of the lips when pronouncing the "i" is kinda how you get the "this" or "b*itch" vowel sound. I hope this helps someone haha
  • Spanish only uses 5 vowels, that's why she has a hard time hearing different vowels in English, English has more.

    So I'm an American living in Madrid with a Spanish family and Joss's mistakes are super common here. My host parents speak English really well but they both make the exact same mistakes. My host mother has trouble with the "his and her/he and she" thing as well, especially in plural because in Spanish the default is masculine if there is a male that you are talking about mixed with women. My host mother explained to me that the reason they add the "eh" sound to words with "sp", "st", etc, like "eh-stop" is because all Spanish words are broken up by vowels and don't have many words with several consonant sounds back-to-back. And the reason it's harder for Spanish speakers to hear the difference between words like, "this" and "these" is because Spanish only has 5 vowel sounds that their ears are tuned into naturally, and English has many more. (I think it's 20?) The "ih" vs "ee" sound for the letter "I" seems especially difficult for them here. My host father told me it's because they don't know how to even make the sound at all which I didn't understand until my Egyptian friend tried to teach me a few words in Arabic and then it all came together for me, haha. A native english speaker will be tuned into all of our vowel sounds in the same way that, for example, a native Vietnamese speaker would be tuned into the different sounds and levels of sounds their words have because it is naturally a melodic language. Basically, Joss, you aren't alone and you are understood perfectly which is all that really matters. Love your content.
  • @nathgomez4750
    "HIS" AND "HER" IS MY FOREVER PROBLEM! Sooooo easy and still...aaagghhh!!!
  • @zereello
    4:37 I feel the same way for the words "There" and "Dare". They sound 100% the same
  • @anakarenajera
    I have the same problem with "bitch" and "beach" hahaha I think it's because our type of accent in Spanish. I was studying in NY for a semester and i had this speaking class and I was performing a presentation of Mexico beaches. omg the faces of the people there when I said beaches for first time was priceless lol. That was embarrassing šŸ˜‚
  • @sashistar
    I also struggle with this and these jaja I can hear the difference but when I try to say it sounds just the same jajaja
  • @norafreer3515

Thank you for your videos guys, we donā€™t feel weirdos anymore! šŸ˜‚. And yes I alwayssss confuse he and she when I go fluent too, really thought there was a weird thing in me or I was getting crazy of speaking English the whole time to him šŸ™ˆ
