  • 15 Words you’re probably saying WRONG!! ❌
    In this English pronunciation lesson, I'm going to show you how to pronounce some difficult words. These words are usually pronounced incorrectly and are common mistakes that many English students make. This is because the combination of sounds is difficult, there are silent letters and syllables, or because the sounds are not common in your own native language.
    I have chosen these words because many of my students make mistakes saying, including those with a more advanced level.
    The words covered in this video are:
    - Reliable
    - Queue
    - Salmon
    - Cupboard
    - Wednesday
    - Stomach
    - Comfortable
    - Vaguely
    - Jewellery (Jewelry)
    - Subtle
    - Mischievous
    - Vulnerable
    - Gauge
    - Greenwich
    - Worcestershire
    Please note that the pronunciation of some of these words differs between English accents. I speak with a Southern or RP English accent.
    Let's correct these pronunciation mistakes together so that you can speak English more clearly and confidently!

    Hi mate! Great video, as always. As an spanish person, one of the things I have learned for myself is that most words work very well if you pronounce them as if they were esdrújulas in Spanish, with the stress on the 3rd syllable from the end 😄. But it is very difficult to maintain the pronunciation especially when you are Italian or Spanish 😅
