How to learn English pronunciation with My Fair Lady (1964)

Okay, Eliza, say it again. The Spine wheel stays precisely on the pline. The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain. I did not say that? No, Eliza, you don't "seven" that; You didn't even say that. Now every morning, where you used to say your prayers, I want you to say fifty times "the rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain." You will go much further with the Lord if you

not to offend his ears. Now for your "h's". Pickering, this is going to be awful. Get a grip, Higgins, give the girl a chance. Well, I guess you can't expect me to get it right the first time.

Come here, Eliza, and she watches carefully. My Fair Lady: Hurricanes almost never happen. Now you see that flame. Each time you pronounce the letter "h" correctly, the flame will oscillate, and each time you release the "h", the flame will remain stationary. This way you will know if you have done it correctly. Over time, your ear will notice the difference. Now listen carefully. Hurricanes rarely occur in Hertford, Hereford and Hampshire. Now repeat that after me. Hurricanes rarely occur in Hertford, Hereford and Hampshire. In 'artford, 'ereford and 'ampshire, hurricanes almost never occur. Oh, no, no, no. Don't you have any ears?

Do I do it again? No Please. Start from the beginning. Just do this, say: "har, har, har, har." Hahaha. Well, keep going, keep going, keep going. Har, har, har, har Is it the same in India, Pickering? Is there a peculiar custom of not only eliminating a letter such as the letter "h", but of using it where it does not belong, such as "hever" instead of "ever"? Or like the Slavs who tend to

English with "g"s, they say "linner" instead of "linger," then turn around and say "singer" instead of "singer." . The girl, Higgins! Keep going, keep going, keep going.

Poor Professor Higgins, poor Professor Higgins. Day and night he works like a slave. Oh, poor Professor Higgins. Standing all day. Up and down until he falls asleep. He doesn't rest, he doesn't eat, he doesn't touch a crumb. Again, Eliza, "how nice of you to let me come." How nice of you to let me come. No no. "Nice of you", "nice of you", "nice -", "how nice of you to let me come." How nice of you to let me come. No no no no. "Nice of you", "nice of you." It's like "cup of tea", "nice of you".

Say "cup of tea." Cup of tea. No, no, "a cup of tea." This is a very good cake. I wonder where Mrs. Pearce got it from. MMM. First category; and those strawberry cakes are delicious. Have you tried the pline bike? Try it again. Did you try the - Pickering! Again, Elisa. Cup of tea. Oh no. Can't you hear the difference? Move your tongue forward until you squeeze the top of your bottom teeth and then say "cup." Cup. Then say "de." Of. Then say: "cup, cup, cup, cup, of, of, of, of." Mug, mug, mug, mug, of, of, of, of.

Cup, cup, cup, of, of, of By God, Higgins, that was glorious tea. Why don't you finish that last strawberry shortcake? I couldn't eat anything else. No, I couldn't touch it. It's a shame to waste it. Oh, it won't be in vain, I know someone who really likes strawberry cakes.
