How to Learn English Tenses, Vowel Length, and Speak to vs with (Ask Jack #8)

https://www.tofluency.com/tools - In this episode of Ask Jack, I talk about how you can learn English tenses, vowel length, and the difference between speak to and speak with. Q1: (0:23) - Tenses Q2: (2:12) - Long vs short vowel sounds Q3: (4:07) - Speak to vs speak with //// SUMMARY //// Q1: How Can I Learn English Tenses English tenses are difficult to master. There are a lot of them, they have different rules, and many exceptions. Explanations will help. For example, here is my video on how to use the present simple in the future:    • Using the Present Simple to Talk about the...  . But this is only stage one. Stage two is getting lots of input so that you see lots of examples. If you see the present simple being used to talk about the future in a podcast, in a movie, in a blog post, and then in conversation, you will internalize the way it is used and be able to use this naturally over time. It is a process and that's why I always say to make this your focus. Q2: Both “eye” and “ice” start with /ai/ - but they sound different to me. Why? Thank you, Geoff, for answering this question. In a nutshell, vowels can be short or long. Because ice has the /s/ sound on the end, this shortens the length of the vowel. Eye doesn't have this /s/ and the vowel sound here is short. It might sound confusing, and you might be thinking about rules. But being aware of this difference and mimicking native speakers will help you greatly with this. Q3: What’s the difference between “speak with” and “speak to? "Speak to" is more common in British English while "speak with" is more common in American English. They both mean the same thing (note: there are subtle differences, for example, speak to can imply one-way discussion - with might imply a two-way discussion). Here are a couple of examples: I spoke with Dave last night about the project. They always speak to me in a strange way ////////// Ask me a question here: https://www.tofluency.com/ask-jack/ Please share this video if you found it useful. Thanks.
