  • This is not a normal Rachel's English video.

  • But this is not a normal time.

  • I'm talking about the 2016 Election,

  • which happens in a month, just about November 8.

  • Uhm, the second debate between the two candidates, Trump and Clinton,

  • uh, just happened on Sunday.

  • By the time I post this, it will be a week ago Sunday.

  • And it's crazy.

  • It's...I don't have another word for it even.

  • I use to not be very interested in politics and lately I've been more so.

  • Uhm, within the past, maybe two years and then this election is just like, come on.

  • Uhh...it's hard to ignore the news about it.

  • Every morning I wake up and I say to my husband "Did you read the news? What's going on?"

  • Because I know that there's gonna be something new and it's going to be dramatic.

  • Uhm, yeah. Just-- there's leak to this, leak to that....scandal...

  • Uh they-- both candidates have over 50% dislike rating.

  • The things that are being said and thrown around are incredible.

  • And as I... as I sit down and I comb through the news, I wonder

  • what is the world thinking of this?

  • And...and I know that there are places to go to read that kind of opinion but

  • I actually want your opinion if you're willing to give it.

  • I wanna take advantage of this community that has built up over the past 8 years.

  • The diversity of the community, and I wanna know

  • what are your impressions, feelings about it?

  • Tell me. Make a video. Upload it anywhere, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube,

  • let's use the hashtag #RachelsEnglishElection

  • And I would just love to have you sit down and in a minute or two, tell me

  • what does America look like to you right now?

  • What does this election look like to you right now?

  • What are your feelings on it? Do you feel worried about it?

  • Do you think it's a joke? Do you think it's great? Do you love the candidates? Hate them?

  • Uhm, a lot of you are in the US, are American citizens, and are you voting?

  • I hope you'll vote. But uhm, yeah. Share that!

  • You can share who you're voting for if you want to but you don't have to, that can be personal.

  • Uhm...yeah. Every once in a while, I'll think "Man, I wish I knew what the world thought about that."

  • I wanna ask my audience and so far, I never have,

  • but this election, this time, it's just so intense and it feels so important

  • Uhm, and so I finally decided, okay, this is the topic that I will bring,

  • that I'll being to the table, that I will ask people to respond to.

  • So, in the next couple of weeks, if you're comfortable, make a video.

  • Tell me. I'm not going to make a mash-up video of everyone's answers like I have in the past for challenges.

  • Uhm, this isn't really a challenge,

  • in that respect.

  • But I hope you'll make a video, I'm really looking forward to reading them.

  • Okay, the hashtag...not reading them, watching them.

  • The hashtag is #RachelsEnglishElection

  • And I'm gonna be looking for that on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram.

  • By the way, do you follow me on all four of those? I'm now on all four.

  • I use to not be on Instagram.

  • Uhm... but yeah, this is gonna be exciting.

  • This is...this right here, you videos

  • are going to make the next month extremely interesting too.

  • I can't wait to hear how you're feeling about everything.

  • Uhm, so that's it. Just a short video for this week.

  • Actually, wait. Stop!

  • I should make this into a little pronunciation video.

  • It is what I do, it's probably why you're here.

  • Okay, so let's take the names Clinton and Trump.

  • They both have things that are sort of interesting. First of all, Trump.

  • The TR consonant cluster is often pronounced CHR.

  • CHRUMP. That's how I've been saying it. Ch-ch-Chrump.

  • Train. Track.

  • That's a very common, acceptable, wonderful pronunciation of that word.

  • If I was to make the full True T pronunciation:

  • Trump. Trump.

  • That's actually less common than 'Chrump'.

  • And Clinton. It's sort of a tricky word.

  • It's like 'mountain' and 'sentence' where we have that stop.

  • Clint--nnn.

  • Because of the T, schwa, N that comes at the end of the word.

  • Clint--nn. Clint--nn.

  • Some people will say a True T. Clinton. Clinton.

  • A lot of people will not do that. They will say Clint-nnn. Clint--nn. Clint--nn.

  • Actually, a couple weeks ago, I was curious about how many people pronounce it one way versus the other

  • and I went to Youglish.com and I put in Clinton.

  • And I did the search and most people said Clint--nn.

  • Some people said Clinton.

  • So if you're still a little confused about that,

  • check out my video on the word 'mountain', it's related.

  • And so there you go, your pronunciation lesson for the day.

  • Trump. Clinton.

  • I hope that's made them a little bit easier for you to pronounce

  • and now I can't wait to see your videos.

  • That's it guys and thanks so much for using Rachel's English.

This is not a normal Rachel's English video.
