Intermediate English Homophones – different words that sound the same!

This is awesome! Thanks engvid

Marcellavenson

I’m glad you liked it!

Alex

Hi Alex, thanks for the lesson. I’ve got a question for you and English speaking people. Do / did you spell those homophones without mistakes all the time? For us, using Chinese characters in our writing, is sometimes complicating, makes confusion while writing in my head :(.

FELES

I don’t think I made any mistakes in this video, but now you’re making me nervous! :)

Alex

You never made any mistakes, Alex. I was just curious ;). I know you are such a smart teacher like Packman.

FELES

Thank you.

EarnHan

You’re quite welcome.

Alex

Thanks for the lesson, not bad for a beginner. ?

marlonjayme29

PokerFire

That’s a good thing, right?

Alex

Thanks Alex, it is a great lesson and FFVII was a fantastic game too.

Rafael Torres

Thanks, Rafael! I totally agree about FFVII. I’m curious about the remake.

Alex

Thank you Alex, this lesson is very useful for me.

Kotat

That’s great. :) I’m happy to help you out.

Alex

Don’t worry. Winter is coming.

Alex

Thank you Alex!

JJJR

My pleasure. Thanks for checking out the video.

Alex

Great lesson, Alex.Got 10/10.
I have my own “methodology” to learn: I listen first
and I read the explanation afterwards. It’s a good
exercise to improve my listening skill.This time I
completed the quiz before reading the explanation.
Thanks a mill,Alex.

Sonia1234

Great lesson, Alex. I have my own methodology to learn English. I listen first and I read the explanation afterward.

Francisco Carlos

Do whatever works best for you. I always think it’s better to just listen the first time, then listen again to listen for details you missed.

Alex

Professor Alex, I often listen to the explanation
twice and even thrice.I do want to improve my
listening skill, and I do need and want to learn
more grammar, as wall.
Thank you for kind comment.

Sonia1234

Thanks,Alex. Very usefullesson. A smile

byte

You’re very welcome. Thanks for watching. :)

Alex

Jakub Alvarez

Alex

Thanks Alex

PacoBe

It’s coming! You will have to wait a little bit, but it will be there. :)

Alex

hi teacher alex you are handsome today
nice lesson congrats
can i say foreword rather than introduction

Hamza19889

In the context of a novel, it can work, but sometimes one person writes the foreword, and one person writes the introduction after it, so they can be two separate things.

Alex

Hi, Alex. great lesson and very useful!Thanks!

Francisco Carlos

No problem! I’m glad you liked it.

Alex

Nice work! Keep it up and put this knowledge into practice!

Alex

i dream of becoming an English teacher too :-)

ann ann

You can do it! Like anything else, it just takes time and regular effort.

Alex

9/10 very useful class since i used to mix them up, thanks anyhow Alex.

fernando triana

Any time. Thanks for checking out this lesson.

Alex

Thanks teacher Alex you explain so good, now i could to understand better the diference.

Fabiana Alfonso

just correction: “could understand” not “could to”

ahmaher81

Thanks!

Fabiana Alfonso

“Now I can better understand the difference” or “understand the difference better.” This is a funny one, but this is the construction of the sentence. Normally we do put “better” after the verb, though, so I understand why you wrote this!

Alex

Thanks again!!

Fabiana Alfonso

For me is complicare to writte, but when i’m watching your video i undertand.

Fabiana Alfonso

That’s great! Whatever helps you learn is good. :)

Alex

Interesting . We remember from school how to say “London is the capital … ” , “travel” , etc . But no one taught us how to say “roll up the carpet ” , ” wrap around my arm “, or something like that . And it turns out that in the routine life we are helpless . Thank you ! I’d like more such lessons .

Natalia

Yep. It’s often the daily language that’s the most difficult because we take it for granted.

Alex

It’s very useful lesson. Thank you so much Alex.

isakibrahim8315

“It’s a very useful lesson.” Don’t forget the article because “lesson” is a countable noun.

Thanks for checking out the video!

Alex

It’s very good information about English. Thank you Alex . You are always a good teacher from my side :)

Alikurnazoglu

That’s kind of you to say. Thanks for studying with me and with EngVid.

Alex

10/10. Thanks Alex, your lesson always are excellent.

InaldoBNunes

“Your lessons are always excellent.”

Nice job on the quiz! Now comes the hard part: put the knowledge into your daily practice. :)

Alex

Thank you so much, Alex!
An amazing lesson as always. I’m really looking forward (foreword?:))) to watching the Advanced Homophones you’re gonna explain.

Bra1n

Thanks a lot, Bra1n! And don’t worry, you’ll see the advanced homophones lesson soon enough. Winter is coming…

Alex

Hi Alex. This was a very interesting lesson. Thank you so much.

sadiqmohibi

Alex

thanks Alex first time for me here and it’s my first video it was usefull for me

fatma mk

Welcome to EngVid, fatma! I’m glad you enjoyed the video, and I hope to see you commenting more in the future!

Alex

hello. plzz answer my question.
why do we say “you are welcome” not welcomed.
It sounds like passive then why not ed ,and welcome is also a verb.

he was welcomed warmly.
this one is right then why we don’t use ed in first one .

help me.

ghost rider

It’s a weird one, but “welcome” is considered an adjective in “you’re welcome” or “everyone is welcome.”

The other sentence is correct and is a standard passive sentence as you mentioned.

Alex

ths Alex you are always my preferred teacher , i wanna ask you a question about the difference between these lessons and the american series, movies . I can’t understand every thing the american movies but i understand everything in the engvid lessons , at last i appreciate your efforts in teaching English.

yasser Daoud

Hi yasser, these are short educational videos, so idiomatic speech is limited (except in advanced videos), and most teachers try to speak clearer than in a standard conversational situation.

Try some of James’ intermediate and advanced lessons if you’d like to hear a quicker type of English. :)

Alex

Thank you very much; it’s very interesting

ghiz

You’re very welcome. I’m glad you liked it.

A good revision of some of the most common homophones that we can find while we study English at an intermediate level. It has been a good video class and very amusing. Thanks a lot, teacher Alex, we are learning American English with great sensations and trust.

mkcm

I’m always happy to hear that. Thanks for watching!

Alex

If I may suggest another word “raw”. Cheers

roshavbg

Thanks! Do you mean “raw” and “Ra,” the Egyptian god? :p

Alex

I taught about raw like “raw material”. It sounds like “roll and role” in your example 10 number :D

roshavbg

Ah, I believe it’s closer to what you say in British English, but it’s much different in Canadian/American English. It rhymes with…

saw
law
raw
bra
paw

Alex

Thanks Alex, there is no words for what you and your colleagues doing. Wish you all the best.

roshavbg

this is really awesome

samet51

Thanks. I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Alex

You really make it easy to understand!

Can you make a list with the 10 words that foreign students most have difficult to pronounce?

Thanks for this lesson Alex!

Isaias Menezes Silva

That kind of list would be different for many regions, but I do have a lesson that is kind of about that:
