A clarification about the word _singer:_ that sound in "singer" is neither an "n" nor a "g". It's a separate phonetic entity - /ŋ/ - the same "ng" sound as in "ring". My aim in this video was to contrast it with "finger" in which there is both a /ŋ/ (ng) sound and a "g" sound. Many ESL learners say "singer" like "finger". Compare: Finger - /ˈfɪŋ.ɡər/ - both /ŋ/ and /g/ are enunciated. Listen here: www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/finger Singer - /ˈsɪŋ.ər/ - only /ŋ/ is enunciated (there is no /g/ sound). Listen here: www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/singer
Those Merriam-Webster sound bites, I think, are generated by a computer. Their example for "singer" does not sound natural to me. I've said the words FINGER, SINGER, RINGER, etc. over and over to myself and they sound alike , but then again, I know people who live 20 minutes away from me who pronounce the word ORANGE as OR-ranj and PICTURE as pitcher. Even funnier when they say the word ACME and it becomes three syllables: AK-a-me! Keep up the good work.
Hello! I am a native English speaker, but I watched the video anyway out of curiosity. Many native English speakers also mispronounce the same words, so I’m sure your video is extremely helpful! By the way, if you are NOT a native English-speaking American, then I must complement you - your English is absolutely fantastic!
As a native english speaker. I don't mispronounce any of these words. I've heard people who do however I do not. Great teaching video for non native speakers!
I am also a native speaker, and I learned I've been saying vehicle "wrong" my whole life.....but I'll keep pronouncing the H. Maybe it's a Midwest thing. Haha.
Absolutely flawless English lesson. Excellent job. I was a career EFL teacher, and to everyone who's reading this I highly recommend this guy's videos.

Learn English Lab...Thank you Sir for this lesson. It's very helpful. May i know the correct pronunciation of the word "trespassses"? We use it everyday in our community. But we have different pronunciation. I want to know where is the stress..is it TRESpasses? Or tresPAsses? Thank you very much. Happy to hear from you soon.
Great video. I am a native English speaker from the south of England and this is an excellent video for anyone wanting to learn English pronunciation. I'm watching it going, damn, my language is really silly at times. lol Like Save is pronounced "Say-v" and Gave is pronounced "Gay-v" but Have is pronounced "Hav"... WTF??? How on Earth did my kids learn to speak properly? More to the point, how the hell are non English speakers supposed to learn this madness? : ) Good luck.
I can hadly say sheet with a straight face as I'm never sure how it lands...I've used the word in conversations and I've always heard, 'what?'..then I've to clarify what I mean.
Have you ever heard of a comedian named Gallagher? He's a riot when he gets into pronouncing words. He will say something like, we have the word, "foot, so, is it food? NOOOO it's fooood. Is good goooood? Noooo it's pronounced good." He cracks us up so much we get to crying. He asks, "Why do we park in a driveway and drive on a parkway?" "Why do we call it a, building when it's finished? Why isn't it called a built?" One can only do this kind of word play after they learn correct English, so happy learning to you all.
@@mawmawvee those are pretty common jokes, glad you find him funny though. Maybe it's the way he delivers them that makes him to what I assume to be popular based on the name you gave "Gallagher". A pretty common last name o for you to say Gallagher the comedian I assume he's well known ok bye.
I don't know how I ended up here, but as a native English speaker I can confirm that this is all correct and very well explained! (P.S our language is weird, sorry about that.)
I had to learn English in my teens. Grammatically it is very confusing. There so many exceptions to the rule. But once you pick it up a whole new world opens up to you.
Pahu i beg to differ. I am native born American with excellent grammar; my mother being exceedingly particular about proper enunciation. In high school i took college level english classes, and as an adult I have continued learning so as to extend my vocabulary. I'm only to # 12 (watching out of curiosity) and already noted three words with which I disagree. Just because the masses prounounce a word in a pargicular way does NOT mean that is correct prounuciation. Etcetera is pronounced "et" NOT "ex". The word interesting is NOT correctly pronounced intresting, it IS a four syllable word: in-ter-es-ting. And to continue my argument I must exit out to review for the other as my tablet won't allow me to toggle back and forth, and my recall just failed me. Edit: third word is often. Phonetically it is correct to speak say of-ten. In 17th century lazy speech the "t" was dropped. However, is IS correct to enunciate the t sound as it is is again acceptable to speak it as such. I speak it both ways depending on if I get lazy with my speech, or use correct grammer, which, as stated includes using all the consonants. Suffice it to say, while this is a good video, overall, it is not entirely accurate. I supect were I to watch to the end I would find a couple more, or so, to correct. If you doubt me, look the words up in a dictionary.
I have better pronunciation than my English teacher, she drives me nuts wen she says something wrong and won't except me to correct her. she won't except that she was wrong 😂😅😡😠😂😂
@Marlene DR Well, we are a land of multiple languages. Most of us in India speak or understand at least 3 different languages which necessarily might not be English. English isn't out first language, we develop it out of interest most of the times but "the ones who cannot speak a lick of English well" might know other languages for sure. So, kindly don't discriminate. We love our culture and own linguistics. But we still try! Cheers..
This is simply outstanding! I have been teaching English for 34 years and I had some trouble pronouncing INFAMOUS and ZOOLOGY. From now on, I will have a pronunciation session in my ESL lessons using your videos. I plan to do it once or twice a week. Thank you!!!
Yes! One of my teachers said February's first R wasn't silent and that the A in Uranus was pronounced the same way as the u. I feel ashamed that I believed him for a long time. :(
I am so happy to have come across your lessons ! Glad that i have finally found an Indian to teach us English pronunciations. What I appreciate most is that you have kept the lessons simple and stuck to the point rather than most western pronunciation teachers who ramble on with what they think are bursts of humour etc., while in reality, we are all stressed for time and would like to do as much as possible in the available time.Going to recommend this to kids too !
You are such a good teacher. I usually never comment on videos, but your video really deserves all the appreciation. As a fellow Indian I feel so proud. Thank you.
Yeah very good video I don't understand though about not pronouncing the G in the singer because if you don't it looks like it's spelled signer or Center you need that g in there yes sing is spelled s i n g you just add the ER.
Think about saying the “ng” sound in “singer”, or “ringer” in the sides of your mouth for a soft sound, not using your teeth to make a hard “g.” But for a word like “linger”, meaning staying or stalking around a specific area (more or less), you emphasize the hard “g.” Our rules have a million exceptions, so it’s hard to say why it’s said the way it is. But if you have a great memory, English is easier on flash cards! Lots of practice and speaking with native English speakers helps, as I know my Japanese improved when I spoke Japanese with my sensei.
I've pronunced wrongly almost half of them...😭 Thank you so much for teaching us the correct pronunciation ! Wish I could go to ESL and have a teacher like you. You made my day❣️
Accidentally I came across your channel, by watching one vi-di-o I became your fan Sir, It goes without saying I have subscribed your channel. Really appreciate your efforts and the knowledge that you are spreading without a pause of Nonsense talks. You are straight to the point and that is what we need in this busy world.
I just love how he goes straight to the point. Much better than your regular 10-item list of mispronounced words. I will certainly use his tips from now on!
Thank you for this video. Made me realize how many words I used to mispronounce. I got through PTE with overall 87 and I find you as a contributor. Thanks again!
Thank you . .. its very difficult to convince most people about these pronounciations. Most commonly mispronounced words in India are 'almond' and 'asthma' .. the silent letters are ignored
I have lived my entire life in the U.S.A. Watching this reminds me that our form of English can be extremely difficult to master. We have so many unusual exceptions to our pronunciation rules. I try to always be patient and helpful to those who live here and are learning. I send my best wishes to everyone, especially adults, who a working hard to master American English.
I'm a native English speaker and I congratulate you on a good job. (I wish you could teach me Hindi, but that's another story altogether!) Epitome is a very common mispronunciation - and so is mythology... as an extension of MYTH, it doesn't make sense to pronounce it MY-thology as many do! :)
Sandi Mann That's kind of you, but it's wrong to assume he knows Hindi. Firstly, for all you know, he might be from Bangladesh(native language, Bangla) or Sri Lanka(native language, Tamil). Even if he is an Indian, it's very likely that he doesn't speak Hindi as his first or second language. That's not uncommon for people from the Southern, Eastern, Northeastern and Western parts of India.
@@ansonzachariah680 Bro she just said it as a form of compliment assuming him to be speaking hindi. Take it light dude. Even my mother tongue isn't hindi, but i took it on a lighter note
As an English speaker by birth I was surprised I had actually mispronounced a few of those. I blame that on a remote regional dialect but its refreshing to hear it pronounced correctly. Thank you Sir.
Me I am Pakistani. All Pakistanis are against indians as are indians. But I really appreciate this guy ❤️. The best guy. I went to US and UK . In their comparison he has a great accent. May he live long . Amen
Excellent video. I am a native English speaker and a teacher. I would recommend everyone who speaks the language, or hopes to speak it, to watch your videos. Keep it up.👏👏👏👏👏
Although I knew almost every pronunciation, I still found few mistakes and new words! And repeating what you already know is hella useful. Thank you for this video, it was very clear, understandable and useful! :) You're a great teacher.
This is awesome ! I learnt a lot through this video and realized that I am mispronouncing many words. Please make it as a series of videos on this topic. It would be extremely helpful for ppl like me.
I've watched Cartoon Network channel when I was a kid. I'm eternally thankful to it for the right prononciation, with which it imprinted me when I haven't even started to learn english.
Thank you! I like how you arrange your verbal presentation and the notes (also for other videos of yours). Very clear and well organised. Down to earth. Practical and to the point. No useless words but not boring at all! I've subscribed. (I'm looking for suitable materials to help my grade 6 daughter prepare her English exam and come over your lessons. Very lucky for me :)
Pronounciation or Pronunciation : “Pronounce" is the verb, but the O is omitted for the noun: “pronunciation." This mistake ranks right up there in incongruity with “writting." One of the comments English teachers dread to see on their evaluations is “The professor really helped me improve my writting."
Hi Mr.Trainer, I appreciate you the way you taught us the common words to pronounce in right way and this module is useful to correct myself. If I would like to take a personnel training from you, please let me know.
I've worked on pronunciation hard these days and many foreigners who from English speaking countries gave me a nice expression on my pronunciation. I had a confidence I should have known most of them. That said, I found I made a heap of mistakes before I watched this video. Extraordinarily informative video. This vid comprehended some pronunciation vids I'd have watched. ・Comment(Stress is on 2nd) ・says(sez) ・desert(Stress should be on 2nd when you mention sweets) ・Plumber(Don't EVER pronounce B sound) ・Tomb(Toom) ・Bury(Beri) ・Zoology(zo not zwo)
Hi, Sir, my name is Ramu. I am really happy with all the videos you have made. They are very useful to me. I use all of your videos to teach my students. Thanks for the great work you have been doing.
Learn English Lab thanks again..... please post..these kind of good videoes with meaning of words as well...you have not gave the meaning of some words in the last section....🤗..
Very good. I'm a native English speaker and came across this while looking for study material for my daughters as English is their third language. I wasn't expecting a great deal from the lesson but I think the pronunciation and explanations were excellent. Well done.
Learning a lot thru your videos 💗 God bless Sir. Hoping that you can upload more videos. This is my first time to watch one of your videos then i cannot stop myself to watch more...
alan khan At what point does the pronunciation of a word change? I'm a native speaker, and if you said Zoology "correctly" I would have no clue what you were saying. I've spent my entire life in the US and never heard it said that way.
The teacher is very correct on the pronunciation of "zoology." Maybe, unfortunately, you've been hanging out all your life with people, native or not, who speak with not precision!
I was literally about to comment this, because i'm a native english speaker and i actually can't talk ?? I ended up here because I just learned i'd been saying 'miriad' incREDIBLY wrong my whole life and my universe was crumbling (fun fact, miriad is pronounced 'mee-ri-ad', not 'my-raid'. why did i believe it was my-raid??? i don't know ??? i'm a disaster ???)
:) Haha. your comment reminded me of my pronunciation of the word omniscient. I pronounced prescient, conscience and other words with the correct 'shya' sound. But for SOME reason always pronounced omniscient with a 'sy' sound - omni-si-nt... until my colleague corrected me. This was 25 years back and to this day I can't quit feeling like a dumbo... at least by association with all the other 'shya' sounds, I should have known.... but knucklehead. so don't beat yourself up.
I am an English speaking individual. You have done exceptionally well in pronouncing these words so clear, crisp and concise. Well done and congratulations on this outstanding video.
Wowww, then I don’t speak English tho😅😅 I’ll keep practicing now, thank you man. My cousin always laughing at me when I’m speaking English, I have an heavy accent. I wish you were my professor when first started learning English, you make it sounds easy with the spelling. Thank you!
No words to describe about your explanation I am 11th student Just shocked with ur explanation We need Lecturers like you in every school and colleges...😎👌👌👌👌👌😍😍😍😍😍😍
i have worked in gulf, and mostly of my indian friends pronounces "vegetable" in 4 syllables, i do not know if you are indian but honestly, you are a very good english tutor, i hope you are my english teacher when i just started studying it...
You are just amazing!! Speaking of your word "women" I am tired of correcting people in my family ! LOL. Also most Indians have no concept of the difference between V and W. Its all V for most Indians. Just like the Germans. Women is pronounced at Vomen. What, When, Why, Where is pronounced as Vat, Ven, Vy and Vhere. Yup! That's always my first lesson to my darling ONLINE students in India. They are all so precious to me.
Amazing !. You are an excellent teacher. Since I have worked abroad, I was aware of some of the words which we Indians pronounce wrong. But you gave an insight into my lack of knowledge by pronouncing words like mortgage and epitome. Thank you and keep up the good work.
If you remember the first, last, tall letters (t/h/f/l/k/h/b/d) and low letters (q/y/p/g/j) in each word, you can sometimes get away with fudging most of the normal letters (a/e/s etc) with "cursive" handwriting, because people's brains read by seeing the shape of a word and then filling in the blanks subconsciously. So if its not an official document, just claim you have sloppy handwriting. This might help with all those words like apoplectic, mortgage, symptomatic or - if you're really good - you can extrapolate this tactic to a word as tricky as pseudo-pseudohypoparathyroidism. Harder to pull off the less there is, obviously. As in uselessness, minimism, accommodation and pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (but let's face it if you have to spell that word its always going to be tough). :)
Pronunciation depends on people we communicate with.Native English speakers would find no big difference in their pronunciation from the one in this video. But for us It is very new and difficult to put in practice. Like any other language hindi,malayalam,tamil,french,german,telugu only a native speaker can crack the pronunciation all the time. Otherwise we have to put lots of efforts and time to get it.
Awesome video, I am a native English speaker but I still thought this was really good. I only take issue with a one word, #28 singer. I'm pretty sure you are supposed to pronounce the "g" sound. Otherwise you're saying "see-ner" or "si-ner". Admittedly it is a softer "g" than in finger or younger but it's still there. It sounds odd if you drop it completely.
That sound in "singer" is actually neither an "n" nor a "g". It's a separate phonetic entity - /ŋ/ - the same sound as in "ring". My aim here was to contrast it with "finger" in which there is both a /ŋ/ (ng) sound and a "g" sound. Many ESL learners say "singer" like "finger". Compare: Finger - /ˈfɪŋ.ɡər/ - both /ŋ/ and /g/ are enunciated. Listen here: www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/finger Singer - /ˈsɪŋ.ər/ - only /ŋ/ is enunciated (there is no /g/ sound). Listen here: www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/singer
I am in awe of you.I follow standard British English ..spoken by southern educated speakers of England ..I like especially the sound of 'a' in water, walk ,talk...

That's a good one and very true. One has to want to learn correctly in order for teaching to take.
I am so happy to have come across your lessons ! Glad that i have finally found an Indian to teach us English pronunciations. What I appreciate most is that you have kept the lessons simple and stuck to the point rather than most western pronunciation teachers who ramble on with what they think are bursts of humour etc., while in reality, we are all stressed for time and would like to do as much as possible in the available time.Going to recommend this to kids too !
You are such a good teacher. I usually never comment on videos, but your video really deserves all the appreciation. As a fellow Indian I feel so proud. Thank you.
I really love this channel on TH-cam #1 favorite English teacher in the world
it is amazing how you managed to keep the flow between the words..smooth as silk
You are an amazing teacher. ..your explanation is very clear. ..
Thank you a lot...
Yeah very good video I don't understand though about not pronouncing the G in the singer because if you don't it looks like it's spelled signer or Center you need that g in there yes sing is spelled s i n g you just add the ER.
ur right!
I see your point, but that´s just how it is. Or you will be saying it wrong.

Think about saying the “ng” sound in “singer”, or “ringer” in the sides of your mouth for a soft sound, not using your teeth to make a hard “g.” But for a word like “linger”, meaning staying or stalking around a specific area (more or less), you emphasize the hard “g.” Our rules have a million exceptions, so it’s hard to say why it’s said the way it is. But if you have a great memory, English is easier on flash cards! Lots of practice and speaking with native English speakers helps, as I know my Japanese improved when I spoke Japanese with my sensei.
I've pronunced wrongly almost half of them...😭
Thank you so much for teaching us the correct pronunciation !
Wish I could go to ESL and have a teacher like you.
You made my day❣️
Accidentally I came across your channel, by watching one vi-di-o I became your fan Sir, It goes without saying I have subscribed your channel. Really appreciate your efforts and the knowledge that you are spreading without a pause of Nonsense talks. You are straight to the point and that is what we need in this busy world.
I'm happy to hear that, Joeey. Thank you for the kind words :)
Your teaching style , your pronunciation- everything is really great... Quite helpful...
Glad to hear that :)

Penetrating language. Beautiful
I just love how he goes straight to the point. Much better than your regular 10-item list of mispronounced words.
I will certainly use his tips from now on!
IT HELPED ALOTTTT...!! JAZAK ALLAH ...LOTS OF RESPECT FROM PAKISTAN SIR..!!💫
Thank you for this video. Made me realize how many words I used to mispronounce. I got through PTE with overall 87 and I find you as a contributor. Thanks again!
Thank you . .. its very difficult to convince most people about these pronounciations.
Most commonly mispronounced words in India are 'almond' and 'asthma' .. the silent letters are ignored
I have lived my entire life in the U.S.A. Watching this reminds me that our form of English can be extremely difficult to master. We have so many unusual exceptions to our pronunciation rules. I try to always be patient and helpful to those who live here and are learning. I send my best wishes to everyone, especially adults, who a working hard to master American English.
I have seen alot of vidoes in learning English, but i don't find any tutorial better than yours. Your way of clarifying is outstanding.
Pronunciation is taught very accurately. Thank you, Sir.

Seymm HAHAHAHAHA

love from India ❤️
Me hhh
Haha So I'm!!! Improving a little every day! That's the way to go
i speak fluent english, i grew up in america, i don't know any other language. why am i here, then? his voice is relaxing.
I have seen a lot of videos , but ur teaching method is excellent.plz keep posting these types of videos.
And now I am stuck between right and wrong..
Same
lol true man
Me too
Me too... And native English speakers also they using same pronounce.. So how we confirm which one correct... Guide me...
@@seenivasantamilmani9944 The man in this video pronounces every word correctly. (I'm a native English speaker from the USA.)
After watching this video, I understood the level I'm standing in English pronunciation. Dear Brother, you have done an excellent video. Good Luck.
I'm a native English speaker and I congratulate you on a good job. (I wish you could teach me Hindi, but that's another story altogether!) Epitome is a very common mispronunciation - and so is mythology... as an extension of MYTH, it doesn't make sense to pronounce it MY-thology as many do! :)
Sandi Mann That's kind of you, but it's wrong to assume he knows Hindi. Firstly, for all you know, he might be from Bangladesh(native language, Bangla) or Sri Lanka(native language, Tamil).
Even if he is an Indian, it's very likely that he doesn't speak Hindi as his first or second language.
That's not uncommon for people from the Southern, Eastern, Northeastern and Western parts of India.
@anson @padma It's not about where he's from! He's doing a great job. Hats off!
@@shaunthomas5672 She asked for him to teach Hindi. That's what they're talking about.
@Anson Zachariah Native Language of Sri Lanka is Sinhala not Tamil. 😊
@@ansonzachariah680 Bro she just said it as a form of compliment assuming him to be speaking hindi.
Take it light dude. Even my mother tongue isn't hindi, but i took it on a lighter note
As an English speaker by birth I was surprised I had actually mispronounced a few of those. I blame that on a remote regional dialect but its refreshing to hear it pronounced correctly. Thank you Sir.
Well, what are the ones you got wrong? 'Remote regional dialects' are actually wonderful!
Me I am Pakistani. All Pakistanis are against indians as are indians. But I really appreciate this guy ❤️. The best guy. I went to US and UK . In their comparison he has a great accent. May he live long . Amen
Excellent video. I am a native English speaker and a teacher. I would recommend everyone who speaks the language, or hopes to speak it, to watch your videos. Keep it up.👏👏👏👏👏
Although I knew almost every pronunciation, I still found few mistakes and new words! And repeating what you already know is hella useful. Thank you for this video, it was very clear, understandable and useful! :) You're a great teacher.
One of the best Channel on TH-cam. I appreciate 👌
Thank you for the kind words :)
"One of the best channels" is the correct usage, isn't it?
yes' it would be one of the best channels I mistook.
Of course it's a great channel.... I watch his videos whenever I get time.....

This is awesome ! I learnt a lot through this video and realized that I am mispronouncing many words. Please make it as a series of videos on this topic. It would be extremely helpful for ppl like me.
First time seeing your videos, I am speechless. We say many words wrong. Thank you sir. ☺️
Me too first time
You made these words and lesson so simple and easy to understand, you seem like a very good teacher. Thank you. Cheers!
As a Portuguese native,im completely mesmerised ,I still got a lot to learn.
I am Indian living in Canada and i can relate to every words he said. 100% right✌️! Thanks man
I've watched Cartoon Network channel when I was a kid. I'm eternally thankful to it for the right prononciation, with which it imprinted me when I haven't even started to learn english.
Thank you! I like how you arrange your verbal presentation and the notes (also for other videos of yours). Very clear and well organised. Down to earth. Practical and to the point. No useless words but not boring at all! I've subscribed. (I'm looking for suitable materials to help my grade 6 daughter prepare her English exam and come over your lessons. Very lucky for me :)
Pronounciation or Pronunciation : “Pronounce" is the verb, but the O is omitted for the noun: “pronunciation." This mistake ranks right up there in incongruity with “writting." One of the comments English teachers dread to see on their evaluations is “The professor really helped me improve my writting."
Haha, that's exactly right! One of my personal pet peeves. Can't tell you how many times I've seen that!
Love love love your video. Straight to the point and very explanatory. Thank you for this video of awesomeness
Good n Great Thanksirgi

Living in the west for 14 years and one of the best videos on English pronunciation
This man is the whole dictionary 😂❤❤
Yup
Yes
Hi Mr.Trainer, I appreciate you the way you taught us the common words to pronounce in right way and this module is useful to correct myself.
If I would like to take a personnel training from you, please let me know.
I am blessed to find this channel in TH-cam.
I've worked on pronunciation hard these days and many foreigners who from English speaking countries gave me a nice expression on my pronunciation. I had a confidence I should have known most of them.
That said,
I found I made a heap of mistakes before I watched this video.
Extraordinarily informative video. This vid comprehended some pronunciation vids I'd have watched.
・Comment(Stress is on 2nd)
・says(sez)
・desert(Stress should be on 2nd when you mention sweets)
・Plumber(Don't EVER pronounce B sound)
・Tomb(Toom)
・Bury(Beri)
・Zoology(zo not zwo)
Down to earth no nonsense teaching , I like it very much . Thank You !
I'm happy to hear that. You're welcome :)
good
15 minutes extremly well invested
Yes it is :)
English is my first language David, he's right about the pronunciation of all the words he has mentioned!
No it's not, the correct is extremely
considering him as my new english teacher!!!!!!! :)
Learners watch each and evey word he said in references. Everything is studied. He toils. He deserves respect. Absolutely correct lessons.
Hi, Sir, my name is Ramu. I am really happy with all the videos you have made. They are very useful to me. I use all of your videos to teach my students. Thanks for the great work you have been doing.
Really great lesson from a really good teacher! Like from Ukraine.
cool ....some of the words..i used to speak wrong...now i have learned.. thanks
That's great to hear, Prikshit. May I suggest a small correction: "I used to say wrong...." (instead of "I speakes wrong") :)
thanks 🤗...i need a good mentor like...u...😃🤗
Learn English Lab thanks again..... please post..these kind of good videoes with meaning of words as well...you have not gave the meaning of some words in the last section....🤗..
I will. I'm planning to do some lessons on vocabulary which will focus more on meanings and usage :)
Learn English Lab Thanks...🤗.. I will wait...
Very good. I'm a native English speaker and came across this while looking for study material for my daughters as English is their third language. I wasn't expecting a great deal from the lesson but I think the pronunciation and explanations were excellent. Well done.
Learning a lot thru your videos 💗 God bless Sir. Hoping that you can upload more videos. This is my first time to watch one of your videos then i cannot stop myself to watch more...
Telemarketers have to watch this.
Great!!! Very informative and corrected at least five words that I used to pronounce wrong.
I was so naive ‘ thought I knew English. But you’re so elegant. With words. Hats off to you !! Sir
I teach English in Japan and I have seen even native speakers pronounce these words incorrectly! Great job!
alan khan At what point does the pronunciation of a word change? I'm a native speaker, and if you said Zoology "correctly" I would have no clue what you were saying. I've spent my entire life in the US and never heard it said that way.
The teacher is very correct on the pronunciation of "zoology." Maybe, unfortunately, you've been hanging out all your life with people, native or not, who speak with not precision!
I was literally about to comment this, because i'm a native english speaker and i actually can't talk ?? I ended up here because I just learned i'd been saying 'miriad' incREDIBLY wrong my whole life and my universe was crumbling
(fun fact, miriad is pronounced 'mee-ri-ad', not 'my-raid'. why did i believe it was my-raid??? i don't know ??? i'm a disaster ???)
:) Haha. your comment reminded me of my pronunciation of the word omniscient. I pronounced prescient, conscience and other words with the correct 'shya' sound. But for SOME reason always pronounced omniscient with a 'sy' sound - omni-si-nt... until my colleague corrected me. This was 25 years back and to this day I can't quit feeling like a dumbo... at least by association with all the other 'shya' sounds, I should have known.... but knucklehead. so don't beat yourself up.
I am an English speaking individual. You have done exceptionally well in pronouncing these words so clear, crisp and concise. Well done and congratulations on this outstanding video.
Omg best indian guy speaking english with such a perfect accent !!!!!
Yes, I always hear on tech tutorial a indian man and I can't understand his English but this dude makes a different.
Спасибо огромное! Медленно, с проработкой всех звуков, то, что очень не хватало!
Crisp and clear presentation, very good selection of commonly mispronounced word. Thanks for the this very helpful video.
Wowww, then I don’t speak English tho😅😅
I’ll keep practicing now, thank you man. My cousin always laughing at me when I’m speaking English, I have an heavy accent. I wish you were my professor when first started learning English, you make it sounds easy with the spelling. Thank you!
I just realized that my prononciation on many words are wrong, thank you for correcting me.
Many thanks for this wonderful and knowledgeable video. Many TH-camrs are copying the content of this video to increase their subscribers.
This guy is super good! Thank you for being you!
Thank you. Very nice of you to say.
Learn English Lab awesome
No words to describe about your explanation I am 11th student Just shocked with ur explanation We need Lecturers like you in every school and colleges...😎👌👌👌👌👌😍😍😍😍😍😍
extremely helpful in sorting out pronunciation errors! very well explained!
i have worked in gulf, and mostly of my indian friends pronounces "vegetable" in 4 syllables, i do not know if you are indian but honestly, you are a very good english tutor, i hope you are my english teacher when i just started studying it...
You are just amazing!! Speaking of your word "women" I am tired of correcting people in my family ! LOL. Also most Indians have no concept of the difference between V and W. Its all V for most Indians. Just like the Germans. Women is pronounced at Vomen. What, When, Why, Where is pronounced as Vat, Ven, Vy and Vhere. Yup! That's always my first lesson to my darling ONLINE students in India. They are all so precious to me.
You'll get infamous
This helps me very much in improving my pronunciation. I find that i mispronounced some words all this time.
OMG I reckon if we cut off all the silent letters written in the dictionary it will decrease 50% in number of pages hahaha Great video. Thank you!
Amazing explanation
Totally amazing 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻👍👍👍
Amazing !. You are an excellent teacher. Since I have worked abroad, I was aware of some of the words which we Indians pronounce wrong. But you gave an insight into my lack of knowledge by pronouncing words like mortgage and epitome. Thank you and keep up the good work.
U explain soooooo well!!!!!!!!
My son will now pronounce' em correctly
Thanks to you
Im a Filipino English teacher and honestly i did some mispronounced words..thank you so much for your video..great..
Mam, you accepted that u mispronounced these words but, my teacher started scold me.
broh now issue is that if we focus on pronunciation, we'll forget spellings :D
Yaaaah 🤣right.. ..
If you remember the first, last, tall letters (t/h/f/l/k/h/b/d) and low letters (q/y/p/g/j) in each word, you can sometimes get away with fudging most of the normal letters (a/e/s etc) with "cursive" handwriting, because people's brains read by seeing the shape of a word and then filling in the blanks subconsciously. So if its not an official document, just claim you have sloppy handwriting. This might help with all those words like apoplectic, mortgage, symptomatic or - if you're really good - you can extrapolate this tactic to a word as tricky as pseudo-pseudohypoparathyroidism.
Harder to pull off the less there is, obviously. As in uselessness, minimism, accommodation and pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (but let's face it if you have to spell that word its always going to be tough). :)
Pronunciation depends on people we communicate with.Native English speakers would find no big difference in their pronunciation from the one in this video.
But for us It is very new and difficult to put in practice.
Like any other language hindi,malayalam,tamil,french,german,telugu only a native speaker can crack the pronunciation all the time.
Otherwise we have to put lots of efforts and time to get it.
Esa b ni h
Its very easy justvu hv to pay attntion
I was mispronouncing most of them. Thanks man.
Awesome video, I am a native English speaker but I still thought this was really good. I only take issue with a one word, #28 singer. I'm pretty sure you are supposed to pronounce the "g" sound. Otherwise you're saying "see-ner" or "si-ner". Admittedly it is a softer "g" than in finger or younger but it's still there. It sounds odd if you drop it completely.
That sound in "singer" is actually neither an "n" nor a "g". It's a separate phonetic entity - /ŋ/ - the same sound as in "ring". My aim here was to contrast it with "finger" in which there is both a /ŋ/ (ng) sound and a "g" sound. Many ESL learners say "singer" like "finger". Compare:
Finger - /ˈfɪŋ.ɡər/ - both /ŋ/ and /g/ are enunciated. Listen here: www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/finger
Singer - /ˈsɪŋ.ər/ - only /ŋ/ is enunciated (there is no /g/ sound). Listen here: www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/singer
I am in awe of you.I follow standard British English ..spoken by southern educated speakers of England ..I like especially the sound of 'a' in water, walk ,talk...
Extremely helpful thnkq and these 15 minutes are enough to pronounce English correctly 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌
hello there, I just want say I love the way you teach.
Thank you. I'm glad to hear that :)
thank you so much! I learned and I realized that I make mistakes but I'll be working on it
That's great to hear, Xon. You're welcome :)
