Dengue is pronounced as "Den-goo" in Hindi. So, basically, if you're mispronouncing it, and someone points that out, just say that you were actually speaking Hindi.
abhijeet patil I'm telling you, nobody talks like that, and I think you're forgetting, Perfection is impossible so it is unrealistic to expect to be perfect.
You speak of correct and incorrect pronunciation all the time - but is there only one way to pronounce words? I guess not. There is British English, US-English, Irish English and many many more.... and even in one country pronuncation varies from north to south or east to west. So for me it sounds arrogant to say only this and that is correct and the rest is not. And beside this, if I use your correct english in a part of the world where nobody actually says it the same way - what's the use of being correct but causing a lot of laughs? And may I ask you - are you a native english speaker? Because for my (German) ears you don't sound like one.
I totally agree with you, Christine. Also, I was excepting for the phonetic transcription here. Videos like these make real teaching and technical information to be misleading. I teach phonetics and phonology, that's why. I guess the IPA SYSTEM should be applied when teaching a language, any language. It is a pity that it has never been used as it should. We could learn in a very fast way.
when we say english then it only means british english. no one cares how australians or southafricans speak. british english is the only widely used in the world.
+Learn English with Let's Talk - Free English Lessons which manner is more correct, listening with caption or not? or first without caption and repeating with caption?
Danni d'auria, some people say kyoo-pawn, some say koo-pon. I say koo-pawn, and most in my area say koo-pawn, but I definitely also know people who say it as you have written (which I assume is said like kyoo-pawn).
+UrbanSipfly This word is spoken in the early part of the movie Titanic when Rose mentions a lady as "designs naughty lingerie".I had that instance replayed many times just to catch the way it was pronounced. It agrees almost with yours. ( I am Indian )
I am not sure what you mean by the many words in English pronunciation as French, being disrespectful? What other way would you have such words pronounced?
a lot of languages, especially in Asia, don't actually have a "z" sound, so a "j" sound substitutes it. People whose first language is one of those say pizza like that so
+Muthu Well, not having a particular sound in your language shouldn't be a problem, because you're learning a new language. So things are going to be different, anyway. They shouldn't stick to what they already know, or else they'll never learn anything new.
pronounciation maybe, but not the grammar, most don't even know their own grammar. and certainly not the logic behind things. also, a nonnative speaker will have encountered all the problems a learner does, a native speaker will have no clue. take for example the languages where everything is female/male/neutral (French la/le, German der/die/das, Russian -it's the ending. a native will know instictively, for someone in whose language it doesn't exist it's not natural.
I'm French and I knew all of these except for "dengue" since I didn't know this word in the first place xD By the way, thank you for the video ! English is an awesome language ^-^
half of these words aren't english words. Are italian, french, spanish words: pizza, lingerie, mojito, dengue, espresso... '-' Are universal words everyone must (or should) know how pronounce them.
These are words that originally came from other languages. They were incorporated into other languages, as well as English. They are words used in several other languages, so universal words. Espresso comes from the Italian name for the coffee, in full caffè espresso, literally "pressed-out coffee". Pizza comes from Medieval Greek to pie, was adapted to italian becoming pizza. Mojito and dengue are spanish... Lingerie derives from the French word linge, meaning linen. All are pronounced in the same way in most languages. Except for 'lingerie'. The 'r' sounds like 'h' in French.
English is mostly Old English and French, ever since 1033. We've been borrowing ever since. Of course we've made alterations to a lot of the words, but 29% of English is French-derived, and a lot from other languages.
Hi Niharka. I like your videos much. I do understand that you are a native English speaker as you were born and raised in the United Kingdom. I beileve your videos are helping many people learn correct English. Those who say you don't sound a native English speaker need to get their ears treated. Its not your fault at all. If someone still don't like your videos they should simply get lost! And you keep doing good job. Bless you
My native language is English and trust me, I don't know how I landed on this channel when I was browsing TH-cam, but I'm forgetting English after listening to this narcissistic tard.
Well it's OK if people don't speak good English because they're still learning. But if someone is a teacher, he or she MUST speak good English. Niharika is only confusing people who really want to learn good English. I really recommend the videos of Ganesh Kumar of Learn English Lab. He is also from India but he is a great teacher. He is the best!!
If you check Wordreference you will hear 8 different pronunciations depending on the 8 different types of English spoken in: US, UK, UK-RP, UK-Yorkshire, Ireland, Scotland, South US, Jamaica. Ironic, isn't it? :)
+LondonJo I said "ironic" to point out that when we speak about languages there may be thousands of different pronunciations depending on thousands of factors. At the end of the day, I just meant to say the same thing you wrote afterwards.
You did a good job of pronouncing the words in the list, but the phonetics leave a bit to be desired. First, lingerie you gave as lawn-gray, i.e., the second syllable being the light shade of black. Better would be lawn-zhuh-ray; #2 is pizza. The 'zh' sound is like the 's' in 'measure', so a better phonetic would be 'PETE-sah'.
you missed a few more common words: debut, itinerary, and vulnerable or vulnerabilities ! Anyways, what I gather from this lesson is that is that I can have a Pijja topped with Al monds and a shot of Mo Jeeto on the side that's not too Sower! Before I pay and use my Coo Pun, I would like a dessert and a cup of Ex Presso, otherwise I might end up with AsThema. During the month of Fb-oo-ary, most shops have huge SALE on Linger Eee.
This video is not meant for native speakers. There are millions of people from all over the world, trying to learn English as their second or third language. All I can say is, her list of mispronounced words is very useful for Indian speakers.
Sour (and power) are not generally said as two distinct syllables. The second part of the word is added on lightly, without actually pronouncing the W as a consonant. It's more like SOW-UH than SOW-WER, as you say here.
***** As I said, it's not two 'distinct' syllables. Check out Oxford Dictionary's pronunciation, if you're not sure what I'm talking about. I tend to follow the original 'British' English version.. It's their language, after all.
Hector Bolivar Hey, I'm not American and don't particularly like what they've done to the language but even I accept that they do have their own version over there. I would never use it, nor accept their misspelling of so many words, even if I ended up living the rest of my life in the States for some reason. I think the term was invented for dictionaries so Americans didn't feel they were getting everything wrong. lol
Hi, English English speaker here - it's sower in a large proportion of England. That's the real problem with the pejorative 'correct' and 'incorrect' - they don't actually exist in reality. And it doesn't really matter that much, provided the meaning is understood.
It's because it's a hodge-podge of languages from all over, Great Britain having been invaded so many times by all kinds of different cultures... and throw in American and boy what a mess! LOL
Hi Niharika, I just stumbled upon this video. Very nice. I love your teaching style. You could mention some rules so students could apply them in similar situations, eg pizza, Mozart, paparazzi etc (add a 't' when z is preceded by a vowel). Other commonly mispronounced words are berserk, duvet, pyjamas, restaurant, ambience, environment. Thanks and best wishes. Praveen
coupon is more like "koo-pon"; the stress falling on the first syllable, the second one being short. "Pawn" is a long sound.. Check phonetic references on either the online Oxford or Cambridge English dictionaries. Once again, hierarchy has the stress on the first syllable and not the second syllable, as you suggested'
Its funny everyone has mentioned mojito being spanish and Pizza being italian...but as far as I saw in the comments no one has mentioned that lingerie is FRENCH
as we pronounce shower as shaar or shower and power as paar or power both r correct like that only sour can also b pronounced as Saar or sower both are absolutely correct
Mandarin is one Chinese language, same as dog isn't the same as poodle. Also widely doesn't mean the same as most common. You are more likely to find people that understand English in more places around the planet - so widely spoken.
Hmmm. How to pronounce words by the person who pronounces words incorrectly. For example, you say ''cawll'' instead of ca-all, when you say the word call.
Fatimah Ali LOL, no. It's "love how wrong she is." So A. Vrana is right. No offense but if you're going to correct someone, at least know what you're talking about.
Many of her pronunciations might be wrong as different countries pronounce different words differently..... for example almond is pronounced AL-MOND in The Great Britain but IN the US it is Ah-mond.....
That's native speakers. English is known as a second language in many countries. Just because it's not people's mother tongue, doesn't mean they can't speak it.
KloniaX yeah, I take your point, but China alone has around 1,300,000,000, it's almost impossible for other languages to beat its number of speakers. So the OP’s statement is legit.
Srsly? This girl can't pronounce any of these words correctly unless I'm speaking my only language incorrectly. There is no hate towards Indian accents, but if you are teaching non-English speakers English, make sure you ENUNCIATE correctly. This could mess someone up...
you are quite right, English is only the widest spoken if you count the number of countries and not the number of people. just an example: there are more people speaking Chinese than English because China has a larger portion of the world population than all the countries that speak primarily English combined...but if you go to different countries, you are more likely to find English speaking natives than Chinese speaking natives...
"Sour is something that's sour". Nice description.

I so agree with your comment, Christine, very well put.
) sour is correctly pronounced as "sower" as you said but it doesn't rhyme with power because power is pronounced is "paar"
Power is NOT pronounced as paar.
Exactly

or q-pawn
Her classes are so much useful and it is recommended to learn from this channel.
LINGERIE is best pronounced as LAWN-JER-RAY! as oppose to LAWN-GRAY!
+UrbanSipfly This word is spoken in the early part of the movie Titanic when Rose mentions a lady as "designs naughty lingerie".I had that instance replayed many times just to catch the way it was pronounced. It agrees almost with yours. ( I am Indian )
As a native french speaker, this triggers me
I am not sure what you mean by the many words in English pronunciation as French, being disrespectful? What other way would you have such words pronounced?
Which now makes them English words.
but names as well? Pontius Pilates in English is Pontshs Paileyt..but..I mean its a name. Why not try to pronounce it in its known latin form :/
Who the hell says pizza like peejjaa
a lot of languages, especially in Asia, don't actually have a "z" sound, so a "j" sound substitutes it. People whose first language is one of those say pizza like that so
typical indians pronounce it peeja thats why she said
The description says 'Peetza' thoughXD
lol sounds like the beginning of pyjamas.. :-)
+Muthu Well, not having a particular sound in your language shouldn't be a problem, because you're learning a new language. So things are going to be different, anyway. They shouldn't stick to what they already know, or else they'll never learn anything new.

It's best to learn English from native English speakers.
pauswa1966 yeah you're right
Yeah and overcomplicate things. Non native teachers simplify it in the way they learned to make things easier for learners.
pronounciation maybe, but not the grammar, most don't even know their own grammar. and certainly not the logic behind things. also, a nonnative speaker will have encountered all the problems a learner does, a native speaker will have no clue. take for example the languages where everything is female/male/neutral (French la/le, German der/die/das, Russian -it's the ending. a native will know instictively, for someone in whose language it doesn't exist it's not natural.
Sure for practicing speaking. All the other skills doesn't make a difference.
I'm a native english speaker,The only language i understand and know is english.
In England, where I come from, Almond is pronounced " AL-MOND" not "AH-MOND".
same
I've heard it both ways in England.
well Cambridge says its Ah mond
*****
So does Oxford. So does dictionary.com, Webster gives both.
I believe AH-MOND is the correct way of saying it in England. But I think dialect has changed it over the years.
"Pronownciation"? Um, try "pronunciation."

How dare you say that to an amazing teacher.
Debris is pronounced as deɪbri and not deb-ree, there is a slight difference between the two if you listen carefully.
I know right she pronounced it wrong
it can actually be pronounced as both an even like this dəˈbriː

The stress should be on the second syllable, otherwise it sounded OK to me. De-BREE (Well, that's for me, an American English speaker)
You did a good job of pronouncing the words in the list, but the phonetics leave a bit to be desired. First, lingerie you gave as lawn-gray, i.e., the second syllable being the light shade of black. Better would be lawn-zhuh-ray; #2 is pizza. The 'zh' sound is like the 's' in 'measure', so a better phonetic would be 'PETE-sah'.
your presentation is very clear. thanks
Oh My Goodness!
I mispronounced 'almond' my entire life😂😂😂😂
#stayblessed Niharika❤
you missed a few more common words: debut, itinerary, and vulnerable or vulnerabilities !

I am a native English speaker (British) and you are right. She can't pronounce herself.
she pronounced "pronunciation" correctly..you must check again..

@@apriljoe444 here in India we do not follow American English... We follow British English since Americans do not follow grammar to the point!.
February is definitely correctly pronounced Febuary by many Americans....
Whatever others say. I trust you and for me this lesson was really helpful.
I have NEVER, in my entire life, EVER heard someone pronounce "Sour" as "Sar"...
Also, I'm pretty sure "Coupon", is pronounced 2 ways, Cu-pawn, and Que-pawn.
I'm gonna be saying "Also" a lot in my replies to myself XD
Also, No one says Plum"B"er. It's just like Thum"b".
This video is suited for Indian viewers. I've heard all those words pronounced incorrectly by some of my school teachers.
This video is not meant for native speakers. There are millions of people from all over the world, trying to learn English as their second or third language. All I can say is, her list of mispronounced words is very useful for Indian speakers.
HeyItsCandy_ Gaming yup I don't even like the wrd sower like what...!?
Sour (and power) are not generally said as two distinct syllables. The second part of the word is added on lightly, without actually pronouncing the W as a consonant. It's more like SOW-UH than SOW-WER, as you say here.

I would never use it, nor accept their misspelling of so many words, even if I ended up living the rest of my life in the States for some reason. I think the term was invented for dictionaries so Americans didn't feel they were getting everything wrong. lol
😆👍
Hi, English English speaker here - it's sower in a large proportion of England.
That's the real problem with the pejorative 'correct' and 'incorrect' - they don't actually exist in reality.
And it doesn't really matter that much, provided the meaning is understood.
Mojito is wrong pronounced. You need the phomene [x] for to get it right. It refers to Spanish.
I think the most mispronounced word is "ask", rarely have I heard someone say "can I ask you a question?" it's always "aks"
and I hate when people call eggs "aye-ggs" and coupon and "key-oo-pon"
nah theres people with perfect english that say aks, and that pronounce it aye-ggs and key-oo-pon
yeah i hate that too
Hahahahaha that's funny
As for pronouncing ask as aks, it depends where you live in the US. I've honestly only heard someone say aks once in my life.
I think that If you're going to use pronunciation aid you should use phonetic symbols
i do agree with you - Bella,..however..not everybody understands phonetic symbols....tthis would help them..
You are always been my inspiration niharika! Tysm
She obviously isn't a native speaker. Her pronunciation is flawed as hell. Some of those words aren't English FYI.
I second that. It's kinda ironic, isn't it?
Bass Mainer A
The irony here is she keeps saying "proNOUNciation" instead of "pruhNUHNciation."
you are great niharika ...keep it up.
Bit ironic from someone who can't pronounce the word pronounce correctly
one more thing, its not DEBBRY, its pronounced DEB-RY with a small pause between the DEB and RY
+Wisam AC Actually it's "de-bry.
shinmusashi44 yeah i meant de-bry not debb-ry my bad
Hahahhaha hah so true thats what I first observed!
Hahahhaha hah so true thats what I first observed!
am i the only one who thinks that there are many loop holes in english😂😕

It's because it's a hodge-podge of languages from all over, Great Britain having been invaded so many times by all kinds of different cultures... and throw in American and boy what a mess! LOL

That is how the majority of people pronouce it - but it is Feb Roo Airy
Right you are.
lol true. Feb roo ary sounds werid af
No! it's not pronounced 'Feb-u-aree' in England. I'm English, so trust me!
Saying almond with an L is not wrong , it is just another way of saying it !
Hi Niharika, I just stumbled upon this video. Very nice. I love your teaching style. You could mention some rules so students could apply them in similar situations, eg pizza, Mozart, paparazzi etc (add a 't' when z is preceded by a vowel).

yes it is an Italian word and taken into English, part of English as well. the Italian way to say it is peet-saa.
+tabsontube I might mention that Italian style pizza and American style pizza are different too. I mean in the recipes.
c'mon! pizza is italian wtf.
love how she mispronounced pronunciation...
Thanks for this lesson .
I love let's talk.
coupon is more like "koo-pon"; the stress falling on the first syllable, the second one being short. "Pawn" is a long sound.. Check phonetic references on either the online Oxford or Cambridge English dictionaries.

About half the people I know say CUE PON. I'm surprised she didn't even bring that up.
No one says Pigga to pizza ok stop lying.
Your enthusiasm is adorable.
we call it फरवरी 😝
Oops! Missed one! Hierarchy is pronounced "higher-ark-ee".
I'm in spelling bee competition so it helps me a lot because I'm memorising dictionary by heart!thanxx😊😊
she pronounce hierarchy wrong..
she's pronouncing it correct.
Yes, the stress should be on the first syllable. /HAI-rahr-ki/
After all, this is still one good teaching video. :)
Angus Chan
You tell the right
And espresso and February and et cetera
I think you are saying "Pronounciation" instead of "Pronunciation". It's not proNOUN, it's proNUN.
+Pritam Shaw lol
this word can say by two ways.
pronoun
and
pronun
+Mohamed Mamdoh Lol not really, mate. This word "can say by" one way and that is proNUNciation. But proNOUN.
+Raxacorico Falapatorius
so what is the meaning of pronounciation
It's just a misspelling of "pronunciation".
Thanks Niharika, i discover something new every time i listen to you...
how to pronounce correctly words in English that are not English words: mojito

darklausal23 that was my exact reaction lol
I don't like your channel or your videos I just come here to laugh a little hit like who else agree
great job out there mam... some people whine, neglect them. But, I'm really following your lectures and they are helping me a lot.

@@2minutesfacts40 ok i've never heard that

Olivia Sanborn Then you need to get a life.
Well, you've heard her say it
Very useful lessons.
Its funny everyone has mentioned mojito being spanish and Pizza being italian...but as far as I saw in the comments no one has mentioned that lingerie is FRENCH
AND
Et cetera being Latin
Why is someone who isn't English, and can barely say it herself teaching me how to pronounce words
Thank you ma'am you are superb Niharika ma'am
Also, it's not "high-rarky". It's "higher-arky" (emphasis on the "er").
@1:53 "These are all incorrect pronounciations"
Whoopsie ;-)
Lovely Lessons
I thought debris is pronounced as dee-bree?
It's de-bree, she's correct. Go google "debris meaning" and listen to the pronunciation
+Darah J robots don't pronounce everything correct you know?
as we pronounce shower as shaar or shower and power as paar or power both r correct like that only sour can also b pronounced as Saar or sower both are absolutely correct
👍👍👍really you teach in fantastic way 👌👌👌
English isn't the most widely spoken language. Chinese is.
its not Chinese but Mandarin
Which is Chinese.
Mandarin is one Chinese language, same as dog isn't the same as poodle. Also widely doesn't mean the same as most common. You are more likely to find people that understand English in more places around the planet - so widely spoken.
Semantics.
Hmmm. How to pronounce words by the person who pronounces words incorrectly. For example, you say ''cawll'' instead of ca-all, when you say the word call.
thank u Nihar. u r a nice teacher
I want to know how many people are now going to be saying things improperly because of this video. Love how wrong she is.
A. Vrana 😂😂😂
Fatimah Ali LOL, no. It's "love how wrong she is."
So A. Vrana is right. No offense but if you're going to correct someone, at least know what you're talking about.
Many of her pronunciations might be wrong as different countries pronounce different words differently..... for example almond is pronounced AL-MOND in The Great Britain but IN the US it is Ah-mond.....
These lessons are very useful to learning in english
Al-mond not Ah-mund I'm from America and I've never heard anyone say Ah-mund...
the most widely spoken language is Chinese, not English...
Language Approx. number of speakers
1. Chinese 1,197,000,000
2. Spanish 414,000,000
3. English 335,000,000
That's native speakers. English is known as a second language in many countries. Just because it's not people's mother tongue, doesn't mean they can't speak it.
KloniaX
yeah, I take your point, but China alone has around 1,300,000,000, it's almost impossible for other languages to beat its number of speakers. So the OP’s statement is legit.
@@angusgotbeef I want to learn chinese...from where I should start first...speaking or writing ...??
Superb..thank you very much for your lessons and appreciate..you are requested to do more words same like those please..
Srsly? This girl can't pronounce any of these words correctly unless I'm speaking my only language incorrectly. There is no hate towards Indian accents, but if you are teaching non-English speakers English, make sure you ENUNCIATE correctly. This could mess someone up...
English is not the most widely spoken.
you are quite right, English is only the widest spoken if you count the number of countries and not the number of people. just an example: there are more people speaking Chinese than English because China has a larger portion of the world population than all the countries that speak primarily English combined...but if you go to different countries, you are more likely to find English speaking natives than Chinese speaking natives...
Using attending these classes i have learnt much more.
in the Philippines we pronounce it as " deng-geh "
