I directed a native Serbian speaker to your weak forms video because after ~20 years of speaking English, he was still having trouble distinguishing "can"t" from "can".

Maybe for these big numbers a video in how numbers are pronounced differently across dialects? Or maybe a video on nasal vowel sounds in English diaelects (e.g i. "Nuh-uh" as an expression of no way)?

You could reveal dark secrets of pronunciation, like 'r's labialization and faryngal constriction, or magic transformation of interdentals into different sounds in some consonants context etc

Even crazier, my Vocal Fry video has just passed 3 million views. Again, thank you all. (Next stop 300k subscribers. What can I do to mark that?)
