10 English words that are hard to say correctly

Thank you Adam for helpful lesson.

Kotat

Thank you Adam .
Great lesson . You are just getting me out of a infamous difficulty . Before this lesson , I was unable to pronounce any of these words correctly except ” confortable”
In most part of dictionnaries , we can’t find IPA for plural words .
I will definitely add merriam webster to my favorite sites list .
Thank again

English pronunciation is always confusing

yasser Daoud

Dear Adam, could you please help us how to spell “world”? Could you recommend a website or book to learn syllables as per scholars learn? Tks a million. You are the best.

Liscamposrosa

Hi Liscamposrosa,

You can find syllable breakdowns and phonetic spellings in good dictionaries. You can try merriam-webster.com. They spell world like this: wər(-ə)ld.

Adam

Thank you Adam

Thanks Adam,
Go ahead !

Ahmedh.Ibrahim

The pronunciation of such words is important, interesting, and difficult. I ‘m sure if I want to speak like a native speaker I must learn how to speak these words properly. I really enjoyed this lesson. Thank you, Adam. You’re a great teacher.

Guifalcao

Thank you for your lesson

kiska336

Thanks Teacher Adam,
Although it found little difficult to answer the questions, I believe myself to pronounce those words nearly accurate.

Ye Yint Aung

Good stuff Ye. That matters more than the score :)

Adam

valessa1993

No worries Valessa. Keep trying :)

Adam

Thank you Adam for this interesting lesson.
The pronunciation help from all engvid teachers are really very fantastic.
So I understand the US and UK TV-news better and better.
Thick thumb up all of you !!! :-))))))

Ralph-GER

Hi Adam. I appreciate your work, indeed. In this spirit, it would be very helpful to see the difference between verbs RAISE and RISE. For me, they are super confusing and sometimes I think they are using interchangeably which is false. Best

swxswx

Hi SWXSWX,

You should watch this video:

Welcome Logrid :)

Hi Adam. How are you? Thank you for this lesson.
And here’s my jokes.(Seems to me new Russian jokes are old American ones). Let’s get started!
1 – Where will you fly to spend your vacation?
– I’m scared to fly…
– So you can drink vodka before the flight!
– When I drink vodka I feel not bad here in
Russia!
2 A young couple passes near two old women into
the (hall). One of old women:
– And what did he find in her? Skinny, in
glasses. And he is so nice, so (visible) and a
doctor!
– Seems to me … good analyzes.
3 A woman applies to a police station: “I lost my
husband!” They ask her about his (features) and
his habits. And then they ask her:
“What should we say him when we will find him?”
A woman:” Tell him my mom decided to not come!”
4 On vacation:
– Miss, why are you so pale and (untanned)?
– I’m from Tver(a town in Russia).
– What the …. don’t you have a summer?
– I was working that day…

Thank you for attention and I hope you will improve my mistakes.

KATRIN777

Hi Katrin,

I like these jokes. Except #2…not sure I get it.

Adam

There are some infections which people might get during the 6ual contact. She hasn’t them…

KATRIN777

Adam,by the way “She hasn’t them…” – is it OK or I should say “She hasn’t got them…”&”She doesn’t have them…”??? Thank you.

KATRIN777

Hasn’t by itself doesn’t really work. Hasn’t got or doesn’t have are ok.

Adam

Got 7/9. Bad… Thanks!

Dear Adam! You are a great specialist in PHRASAL VERBS. When you have free time, I kindly ask you to make a lesson about PHRASAL VERBS with the verb SETTLE. Thank you in advance.

Denev83

Hi, Adam. It might be a not appropriate question for the topic, but anyway. My current English level is about Intermediate and recently I faced a problem of increasing my vocabulary.
I’ve been learning words on one site via cards. But now I’ve got more than 3000 words there and the amount keep increasing. It takes some time to at least review them :) And that’s becoming a problem. What would you recommend me in this case?
I thought about just giving up learning words via cards and just read/listen/watch videos, so that words that I see frequently would be memorized automatically
And I wonder how people populate their vocabulary having high levels, like advanced
Thanks :)

Rosa47

thanks again Adam!! it was a good tip!

IVAN MEJIA

Thank you for this nice video, Adam! Some words are really complicated to pronounce. Then we need to be careful when we use them. On the other hand, in my opinion, the British standard tends to be more orthodox and phonetic than the North American pronunciation.

Good luck to you in this new phase of your life! I wish you all the best in the new country where you are based now!

Eduardo França

Hello.Thank you for video. Could you make video about sound TH. It’s hard to say it for Non-native speakers.
