Hey, everyone. I'm Alex. Thanks for clicking, and welcome to this lesson on "Commonly Mispronounced Words". So, these are some of the common pronunciation mistakes that I have heard in my experience as an English teacher from new English learners. Now, it doesn't matter if you're Russian, if you're a Spanish speaker, if you're Korean, if you're Japanese, if you're Arabic - I've heard these mistakes come from all over the place. So, today, I'm going to look at some of the most common pronunciation mistakes, the most common mispronounced words so that you can fix these mistakes and never make them again, and you'll sound more fluent, more natural. So, let's do it.

First word: "ask". Okay, so you were supposed to repeat, there. All right? Did you do it? So, again, it's not: "axe", but "ask". So repeat after me: "ask". Good. Now, repeat this question, repeat this sentence: "Ask him a question." Okay, good.

Next, not: "boos", but "bus". Repeat it one more time, one more time. "Bus". Okay, so it's "uh", right? It's an "uh" sound. It's not "oo", but "uh", "bus".

Now, there's a trick here because the next word is "busy", and some students confuse this, because they actually know how to pronounce "bus", but then they try adding the same pronunciation rule from "bus" to "busy", and they say "busy", which is not correct. So, the correct word... The correct pronunciation of this word is "busy". So, repeat after me one more time: "busy". Excellent.

Next, very common mistake, especially when students try to say it in a weird, plural way. So, I had a Korean student who was reading Edgar Allan Poe, and the word "clothes" is in the book a couple of times, like 2-3 times on one page. And she's reading, and she keeps saying: "closes", "closes", "closes", as if it's plural. It's not "closes", it is "clothes". Think of "open", "close", same pronunciation. All right? So, one more time, repeat: "clothes". Perfect.

Next: "comfortable". Not: "com-fort-able". Okay? But: "comftrabull", so repeat after me one more time: "comfortable". All right, let's take it apart. This one is a little longer: "com-ftra, ftra, bull", "comfortable". All right. It's tough.

Next, not "edu", but "edju", "edjucation", so there's a "je", "je", "je", "je", "je" sound. Si... Excuse me. Such as: "judge". Right? So, "education." Repeat after me. "Education". All right.

Next, not "famoos", but "famous". Repeat it one more time, faster this time. "Famous". All right. So, the second part is a "miss" not "famoos", a "miss", "miss", like: "I miss you", okay?

And next, same thing, not "lettoos", but "lettuce". "Lettuce". Okay? So, it's "lettuce". Good.

Next, not "prevate", "private", so "i". "Private". Exaggerate it a little bit, it makes it a little bit more fun. So, one more time: "private". Now, in a normal conversation, you would just say: "private". Okay? Now, that second part "vit", "private".

Next, the opposite of "private" is not "pooblic", but "pu-, public". Repeat it one more time. "Public". It's kind of like you're just letting a puff of air let go from your mouth, "pu", "public". Okay, good.

And next, not "salmon". The "l" is silent in this word, so a salmon is a fish, the most delicious fish in my opinion, and it is pronounced: "samon", "salmon". Okay, very good.

And next, not "stoody", but "study". "Stu-dy". Okay. So, it is not "stoo", but "stu", it's an "uh", "uh" sound. So, repeat it after me very quickly, here: "study".

And finally, the name of our website. Whew, now, this is a mistake that I make. Go back, listen to my videos, guys, I say "angVid" a lot, especially in like 2011, 2012, I say: "Thanks for clicking on angVid.com, angVid.com." I have made a mistake, everyone. It is "eng". We don't say "Anglish", we say "English". The name of our site is engVid.com. I'm sorry. Even I make mistakes.

So, one more time we're going to go through the words from the top to the bottom, from the top again to the bottom again, and I'm going to ask you to repeat after me, so let's do it. "Ask", "bus", "busy", "clothes", "comfortable", "education", "famous", "lettuce", "private", "public", "salmon", "study", "engVid"

Confusing Words in English: LISTEN or HEAR?

"Listen" or "hear"? Do you know which word to use? These verbs may seem the same, but we use them differently in English. In this easy lesson, you'll learn how to use these words correctly. I'll also teach you some of the most common expressions we use with "listen" and "hear" so that you get real-life examples of these words in English. After you watch, take the quiz at http://www.engvid.com/confusing-words... to make sure you know the difference between "listening" and "hearing".
Hi. I'm Gill at www.engvid.com, and today we have a lesson on two verbs: "listen" and "hear", and we're going to look at the ways that you use them, because they're a bit similar; they're both to do with your hearing and listening. You... When you're using your ears. So, it's a little confusing sometimes for people to know when to use "listen" and when to use "hear", so I've got a few examples, here, to try to show what context they can be used in. Okay.

So, let's have a look first at "listen", which is quite an active thing. You're really concentrating when you're listening, listening to a piece of music, really thinking about it as you're listening, so it's quite active. So, "listening to something", you're using the preposition with it. Listening to the radio, listening to a CD, listening to. Somebody might say to a friend: "Oh, you never listen to me. I'm telling you something, but you're not listening. You're thinking about something else. You never listen to me." So, "to" again, there. "You don't concentrate on what I'm saying." Okay? And there's another way you can use "listen", you can "listen out" for something. That's a different preposition. If you're in an office and your colleague needs to go out, they're expecting a phone call, they might say to you: "Will you listen out for the phone? And answer the phone for me while I'm not here? Take a message", maybe. "Will you listen out for the phone?" So it's quite an active listening, focusing, concentrating on the sound. Okay.

Compared with that, "to hear" is a little bit more passive. You sort of receive the soundwaves into your ears, whether you decide to or not. So, someone might say: "Did you hear that strange noise just then?" You weren't listening for a noise, but you heard a noise. It sort of came in through your ear into your brain, and your brain recognized: "Oh, what was that noise?" So: "Did you hear that strange noise?" Okay? And another one, if you don't hear what someone says: "Could you speak up, please?" Meaning: Speak more loudly. "I can't hear you." So, you wouldn't say: "I can't listen you", that... That's not right. "I can't hear you." The sound isn't getting to my ear. Okay. If a friend wants to tell you about something, and you don't really... You're not interested, really: "I don't want to hear about that." I don't want to receive that information. Okay? And then finally, last example: "Have you heard", so this is the past tense. "Have you heard from your sister recently?" So, "to hear from" someone, another preposition is to receive maybe a phone call. You're not expecting it, maybe, the phone rings, you answer it. Ah, it's your sister. You've heard from your sister. Okay.
