Education — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 16 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 100% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

20 posts held, back to 29 September 2023 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 2 pages of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 13 December 2023. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
461 reactions across 20 posts, in 18 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 44.0% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 20 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 461 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 29 September 2023 to 13 December 2023, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
The most common spelling for the /eɪ/ vowel is the letter 'A.' The opposite is not true because, in most English words, the letter 'A' represents the /æ/ sound. 🤯 The good news is that there are two pretty consistent patterns: the digraphs 'Ai' as in 'wait' and 'AY' as in 'say' are almost always pronounced as /eɪ/. 👍 We know, we know, these spelling patterns might take some time to process. 😉 #CommonSpelling

Nearly all North American native speakers pronounce the letter 'Y' as the tense /i/ sound when it occurs at the end of words like 'happy' or 'very'. 🤔 This makes 'Y' the most common spelling for the /i/ vowel, at least in General American English. 🥳 Our chart would probably have looked different if we were talking about British pronunciation. 😉 #CommonSpelling #Chart
👍30❤10😁3🔥2⚡1👎1
You know how the letter 'S' is not always pronounced as /s/? For example, when 'S' is followed by '-UAL,' it represents the voiced /ʒ/ sound in 'visual,' but the voiceless /ʃ/ sound in 'sensual.' Why? 🤔 It depends on what comes before 'S!' 💡 By the way, the same goes for 'S' followed by '-ION': 'S' in 'version' is pronounced differently from 'S' in 'pension.' 😉 Check out this article for more details. #PhonicsRules

There is no big difference between the /ɝ/ and the /ɚ/ sounds. 🤔 Some linguists even consider them to be the tense and the weak versions of the same sound. 🤨 Fair enough! Their pronunciation is almost the same, except the /ɚ/ is always relaxed and only occurs in unstressed syllables. Check it out: 🎧 Eager tigers hammer spiders. #MnemonicPhrase

The words 'axis' and 'access' are perfect examples of how English spelling begins to make sense when you know a couple of phonics rules and a few exceptions. 🧐 The pronunciation of these two words is different, but possibly not in the way you might expect. 😉 #PhonicsRules

If you've been learning American pronunciation for a while, you might know that there are two variations of the /l/ sound: the "regular" L and the "dark" L. 😎 Though you'll sound pretty much like an American even if you always use the regular one. 👍 But what if "pretty much" isn't good enough for you? 🤔 Well, here's a quick test: 🎧 listen to the phrase A lone lamb lost his land and try to catch the difference between…

Can you tell whether the words 'weather' and 'whether' are pronounced the same or differently? 🤔 And while you're at it, what about the word 'wether?' 😉 #PhonicsRules

Many non-native speakers don't have any issues with the American /v/ sound, or at least they believe they don't. 😉 However, some English learners are quite aware of their difficulties with it. 😢 Regardless of which category you fall into, we've recorded a cool mnemonic phrase for you to check how close you are to the classic General American pronunciation: 🎧 Vivid vacation in a vintage van. #MnemonicPhrase

In American English, the 'OUR' letter combination is pronounced either as /ɝ/ or /ɔr/. We wish there was a rule, but unfortunately, there's none. 😥 It's just happened that 'OUR' represents the /ɝ/ sound in words like "courage" and /ɔr/ in words like "course." 🤔 So, we made two lists of words you can practice when you have a spare minute. Don't worry; they're pretty short and easy to memorize. 🎧 #Exercise

The glottal 'T' sound doesn't occur in American English very often, and even when it does, you can safely replace it with a regular 'T.' 😲 Don't worry; you'll still be perfectly understood. So, in the grand scheme of things, it's not a very important sound, right? 🤔 Except for one tiny detail: it can make your speech more natural. Give it a try: 🎧 Kittens in satin mittens. #MnemonicPhrase

Could the words "knees" and "niece" be homophones? 🤔 Of course they could! 😉 Many English words have different spellings but are pronounced the same way, like "would" and "wood," or "pair" and "pear." 😲 Still, are "knees" and "niece" homophones or not? 🔗 #PhonicsRules

Over ten percent of Americans dress up their pets in a Halloween costume. 🤪 Our cats categorically refuse to wear any clothing, so we came up with a better idea: 💡 a video where you can practice pronouncing the 100 most common words related to Halloween. 🎃 Hope you'll like it! 😉 #Exercise

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @SoundsAmerican. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
The reverse of the list above, and a different kind of signal. This does not require this channel to have ever been asked about directly — each row below is a channel we DID ask Telegram about, whose Telegram-generated list happened to include this one. A channel can appear here with an empty list above it, because being named by someone else’s query is independent of having been queried itself.
This channel appears in 1 seed channel's Telegram-generated recommendation list in total. Each is Telegram’s list for THAT channel, not this one — see how this is measured.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 15 September 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
