My lovely students, so many of you pointed out the mistake in the thumbnail - and our team has changed the thumbnail in response. Needless to say, I am chuffed with your knowledge of correct English - so keep rocking. With love, Chetna
A truly relevant and useful video for those with English as their second language. After living in the UK for forty years and spending a career in the academic sector, I agree with you 100 per cent and commend you for this brilliant video.
Words you pronounce WRONGLY, not Words you pronounce wrong. “ Pronounce” is a verb. Adverbs ( usually end in ‘ ly’ ) modify verbs. Adjectives , ( which usually do not end in ‘ ly’ ) modify nouns. For instance, one may say , “ Thats a wrong word” and , “ That’s a wrongly pronounced word”.
I already made the same comment before I came across yours. This is what happens when somebody thinks they are an expert in English but are not and just in it for the money.
Just look in the OED, and you'll find 'wrong' listed as an adverb. Ugly, I know, but regrettably now adopted from sloppy speech as a correct adverbial form.
10 out of 12 were correct of mine,😊 Ma'm u should surely start with courses related Phonics & spoken English for the benefits of human kind as it is the most essential universal language! ✅
I am from Australia. I have English speaking friends from other countries. I can tell you that often, pronunciation mistakes are common in specific locations. In Indonesia, for example, many people would say "purchase" with the accent on ch. In Australia, most people would pronounce "Etcetera" wrong And so on.
Maybe, but Indonesia is not an English-speaking country. Many speak good English but as a second language. You can only compare like for like and Australian English (a first language for many) is not a first language for an Indonesian.
I've sussed that this is aimed at people learning English as an extra language rather than us (we?) native English speakers and it's very good. My beef with mispronunciation for everybody is "controversy". Many people pronounce it "contra-versy" rather than "con-trov-a-see" (the correct way).
"Correct" pronunciation depends enormously on time and place. Even standard English pronunciation has variations that can be considered legitimate. Travel 25 miles in the UK and you can expect quite different usage.
I have improved so much english because of you. I would thank you so much for being there. If you wouldnt be there this would never be possible ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ i got so shocked when it came to comfortable, garage, deterioate, nich, sword, broccoli, maintenance where and here😊😊😊 keep it up
As an English second language speaker, I was quite chuffed to get all correct. There is one word that Americans all get wrong and it is not their strange habit of saying ai for ah and vice versa. This one gets me shouting. Route pronounced like out instead of like root. They do get rout right for some strange reason. Keep up the good work.
Also in most of the Midlands and the North. When somebody says garaaage to me, I ask them if they know whether there’s a garaaage in the next villaaage.
Very interesting, pronunciation is something that varies leaps and bound within India. The correct pronunciation hardly gets surfaced. So a casual approach remains, notwithstanding we do try to pick up thw correct ones as and when it comes so. Keep your good work on, generations will benefit out of your noble work. Great going and best wishes..... 😊😊
There are regional differences in American English and that pronounced in Britain. In the US, nish is more frequently used over neesh for the word "niche."
According to the American Heritage Dictionary, you are correct, and that is the only pronunciation. She is giving the British pronunciations for all of these words.
Wonderful teaching on RP. I could correct myself the pronunciation of some of the words appeared on the screen.My congratulations and expect many more in this regard.Many thanks,ma'm👏
Just a note involving accents: Here in the upper midwest part of the U.S. We DO pronounce the 'R' in Sword = 'soRd,' Here = 'heeRe,' Where = 'WaaRe,' Itinererary = 'I tinneRaaRy.' The 'e' is often a schwa sound -- a quick 'uh' sound. Also, many of us in the upper midwest DO pronounce the second 'g' in garage as 'J' -- 'GaraJ.'
Depending on your preferences, you mispronounced garage. You used the American pronunciation which places the accent on the last syllable but in British received pronunciation, it is on the first.
There are different pronunciations depending in the country you live. US vs UK vs Aussies. So there are more ways to pronounce a word and they are all correct.
@ sabitas 5770, Are you a native English speaker? If you are then you should recognise that she speaks with a pronounced INDIAN accent. It is not beautiful.
Tire as car tyre is bastard word. Tyre is a Greek word. It is part of the wheel that holds the assembly together. It is a steel rim on the outside of a wooden wheel. Steel rim is slightly less than the diameter of the wooden wheel. But when heated, it expands, thus allowing the steel rim to fit over wooden wheel. Then, the whole assembly is quenched by immersion in water. It is then solid and married to wooden wheel keeping the whole assembly together.
These are British pronunciations. In the American Heritage Dictionary The Rs in HERE and WHERE are pronounced, the G at the end of GARAGE is an alternate pronunciation, ITINERARY has five syllables... and I didn't look up the others.
Hi guys, the ultimate truth is that languages are medium for communication and so far you succeed in it rest of the things are immaterial in my view. Rest everything is man made which goes on changing man to man and nation to nation according to their skill and capabilities. So clever people dominate on others to impose their findings for their own benefits.
Hi These 10/12 including the bonus Good,I like learning and correct my self especially with the different English we have around us. Thank yoh Chet chat
In my part of England we pronounce garage as ga-ridge and almond as ol-mund. I would like someone to correct the mispronunciation of mischievous; so many people say mis-cheev-ee-us which drives me up the wall, there is no i in front of the ous. Also the pronunciation is not even miss-cheev-us but is miss- chiv-us with the emphasis on the first syllable!
If you wouldn't mind, might I suggest using the term "incorrectly", as opposed to "wrongly". The former would be considered more appropriate when used in polite society.
Thank you for this refresher. I had brilliant teachers in Kanpur, Bombay, Udaipur, Agra and Delhi who helped me learn the language. There is a marked deterioration in English language skills in our society and I am disturbed by that. You are a breath of fresh air. I love Hindi/Urdu too and loathe mispronunciation because elocution is so important. Thanks for your efforts to rekindle my interest.
Don't follow her. She is only making these videos for the money. Her spoken English has a pronounced Indian accent and is no better that many English-speaking Indians that I have met all over the World. Her grammar is no better. Find yourself a native English speaker on the web and don't follow this charlatan.
Another point of dispute is your version of sandwich. Although I do not contest that Americans love their san-witches, those of us with more discerning tastes prefer to have a sandwich, named after the gambling Earl of Sandwich.
