@@priyanujdoloi5055 Egg plant is called aubergine in Britain... And yes I love speaking in Hindi but I have no problem with English. I love English as a language.
Sorry Aleena you've got it wrong. Although I do use those pronunciations too, they're not necessarily correct ones. It depends on the accent/dialect and each has its own, most of the ones you talked about are how they're being spoken in American accent.
Buffet.....(bu-fay) Fastern.....(faa -sun) Sword.....(sord) Asthma....(As -ma) Sachet......(Sa-shey) Bowl. ...(bol) Iron my clothes.....(Ion my clothes)
There can be different pronunciation for the same word in different regions. That never means that one is incorrect and the other one is correct. So you need to know that there can be American, British, European, Australian and many more variants of pronunciation and all are correct. Some are influenced by local languages and it's completely fine.
English is a funny language in itself. Then it gets even more complicated when we add accents and the influence of regions and countries etc. But i think the video has done a fantastic job to nuterally correct some very obvious mistakes that people make in india. I'm sure this video doesn't intend to teach you how to speak to an American in Texas or on the BBC news... I think she has done a fabulous job without being technical or overly descriptive.
Status American :- sta•tuhs British :- stei•tuhs Girl do not confuse people, just pick one accent for God sake. You are jumbling up in between British, Indian and American accents all together, which isn't right. People don't go with the accents pick your own one. That's why you see Indian pronunciation of words on Google Translater. Value your Indian English accent.

Some of the words like "Status" have different pronunciation for different accents/dialects. The one u said before (the "wrong" one) is actually the normal mid-west accent pronunciation. Just to confirm I also googled it. The correct pronunciation that you stated for this word is used in the UK. Different places have different dialects, so the incorrect words would be from: English (India).
@@dheerajdolce4788 That being said, We need to use British English for official work in India. Most people in India, are deriving their "wrong pronunciations" either from Hollywood movies or American web series or American clients or even from an untrained teachers in Schools.
I think if a pronunciation exists in a certain dialect it shouldn't be considered "wrong" Indian education system expects students to be perfectionists which is kind of a toxic way of raising a younger generation. It is so much better in Western countries, people are really chill here.
@@sam_bit7148 We native speakers do indeed use both. Same thing for status. You can use the short ae that is in a word like cat, or the long ai that is in a word like day. We don't pronounce our "w" like a "v". Where is never pronounced "ver".
I was about to comment, this lady has fucking knowledge about english, and created an account to teach us lol 😂 i would like to recommend you, kindly improve your English then reach out the account and then start making videos for us, and yeah please improve your accent first cause you’re sounding like a beginner level student.
Honestly I pronounce it in both ways depending on my mood 😂 English is a highly debatable language as there's very few rules and 1000 accents to take note of.
This is not about accents, it's about correct pronunciation. One thing doesn't necessarily have to do with the other. You can have an accent and still have a good pronunciation. So, don't be lazy or look for justification not to say things correctly. She herself mispronounced the word "Woman" as "Voman" which is a commont mistake indian people make. The V and W sounds are very distinctive.
@@lordnikon6809 bro, most of the times pronunciation and accent go hand in hand. It's not about being lazy or not willing to learn, it's about years of schooling ingrained in ur brain and cultures not having certain english letters. For example korean dont have letter 'R' so they find it difficult to pronounce. It's the same for indians, V and W fall under the same letter for us in hindi so yeah. English is a worldwide language, ofcourse people are going to have their own variations. Do we even have to talk about how different parts of the world use different grammar, slangs and spellings? 😏
@@deepalisahu575 My native language is not English. My first language is spanish, and the way we write is the same way we pronounce in Spanish, so we don't have many of the English sounds in our language. Our vowels are simple and sound the same in every word, very strainghtfoward, while English is way different. I thought people from india couldn't pronounce the letter w because they say v instead of w, but then realized you guys can, since you say wirus and witamins instead of virus and vitamins, what makes me very confused. But reading from some comments I understand that the letters v and w sound the same to you. I think it all boils down to retraining ones brain because those are two very distinctive sounds, and to the native speakers, it sounds very weird, no offense. It took me time to learn how to pronounce the w letter in would or wood, but I got it. In our case though, it is not that they sound the same to us, but rather that we very rarely use the w sound in Spanish.
I am a Reader in English of a college but poor in pronunciation.I enjoy to learn a lot from u discovering my mispronunciations.Your way of speaking is so sweet and enticing to enter into heart . Keep it up n educate us.
You have a lovely matter-of-fact way of articulating the incorrect and correct pronunciations without sounding too righteous and high nosed about it! Well done. It takes a lot of courage to take on English on worldtube
Lol no she does not. Couldn't even stand to watch it a whole minute because of the horrible noise of you dont know what lol 😂. Dont make a video that's supposed to be about 15 words pronounced. When she cant even pronounce 1 fkn word correctly in the incoherent intro 😮😅
What's wrong with the people who have commented here. At least, encourage her for the efforts. Be open to feedback. Probably this is the reason India is a developing nation. Good job Aleena. Appreciate that!
Dude effort.....she is sitting and just speaking words😂 And india is developing bcz of ur mindset that you put "english"...(just a language) as the top mark of development 😂😑
@@sreejachowdhury1819 It is a reason not 'the only' one, people are sharing their knowledge and it helps people who genuinely require it. If you can't encourage, don't dissuade either. A complete NVA
gurl, putting your work out there, for people like u to judge or learn, also takes strength and courage. What's the harm in learning anything new unless YOU don't have the zeal to....uhhh...going by your logic, no one should learn anything, now that's a perspective too 🤪
Oh oh oh.....you said india is developing bcz of this.....i just replied to that and I'm not at all spreading "hate"....and yes people want to learn i m here for that too but for those who can't speak English it should not be such a big deal.... it's okay not able to pronounce well.....and speaking of effort nd hate..plz stop being so stiff minded that if you support a person then just bombard another person like that....i spoke about not making it that BIG DEAL to set a development goal.... I'm having another stand of why not make hindi the most spoken language in the world.....and that doesn't mean I AM AGAINST KNOWLEDGE....! Okay thank you🙏
Always remember that English is not "phonetic". That means that we do not always say a word the same way that we spell it. The English language may have 26 letters of the alphabet, but it has at least 44 sounds. English has the same letters for different sounds, example Live. (I live in Sydney. It is a live telecast. )
What a grammatically primitive language masquerading itself as an elitist & a global language we're compelled to learn. It borrows the Latin script for fks sake! -_-
It's a very useful video for people trying to improve their (Indian) English pronunciations and I would highly recommend it. On a completely different note though, I would like to add something to your content - 1. We Indians tend to pronounce 'th' words with an emphasis on the 'h' sound like in Hindi alphabets (mostly in the northern part) - so it's pronounced "θʌm" and not "thhʌm" . I feel it's best to pronounce it correctly if the objective is to specifically deliver British or American pronunciations. 2. Maybe it's just me, but I feel that you rather have a 'v' sound in the words "woman/women" than a 'w' sound and vice versa. But like I mentioned, it's a recommended video and I really appreciate your efforts. Thanks for your content ;)
Eu reparei isso tambem que quando ela foi falar woman, ela pronunciou o w com som de v. Achei um pouco estranho, pois eu procuro aprender inglês com o sotaque mais americanizado do que indianizado 😅
Sorry to say but darling, you are wrong about the word "often", this can be pronounced by both ways and I have listened this from so many people who are damn fluent in English, in fact I searched about it as well the moment I noticed that the first time , and then I got to know that yes they were right, this word can be pronounced by the both ways... 😊
The convenience to speak a word is what we call the accent. Accents may vary. Its the Bitishers who after creating the language made most of the words to pronouce the way they want. Why should we correct ourselves when the creators are lazy enough putting the letters and making them silent.
@@deveshtiwari7493 🤣🤣 point to be noted, but this my friend, this world is too judgemental, the moment you speak one word wrong, the next you become meme material nowadays 😂
@@dimplesinha9935 "Jaanta hu.. Jaanta hu ke baahar ek berehem competitive duniya basi h". If you are from North India you can relate to this dialog Tare Zameen Par. You are right. But Russians and other European countries and even the Britishers are trolled for their accents although men find it cute when women speak that way and vice versa. Nobody changes their accents. And here we are trying to be perfect for no reason. 🤷♂️🤷♀️
Very appropriate words were pointed out by you. BTW, both pronunciations for "Status" are acceptable in North America; same goes for "Off-en" and "Of-ten". "Tuition" and "Plumber" were good ones :D. Another one is "Tier", which is frequently pronounced as "Tire" in our side of the world.
Opportunity ✔vs A-paur-tu-nity❌ AND.... another one is Integrity✔ vs In-ti-grity ❌. These 2 words often mispronounced in India. Many words you shared are accepted with different n in dialects, as u spoke about American & British English both. YET ... kudos to you for reaching 1Million plus for this vlog. Great going. Good Job 👌👍❗
UK and USA have a very different pronunciations for words. That being said, We need to use British English for official work in India. Most people in India, are deriving their "wrong pronunciations" either from Hollywood movies or American web series or American clients or even from an untrained teacher in Schools.
@@ranbeer623 obviously we can speak any word according to us. Why don't we all try to understand that we don't have to follow any rule in speaking English just like britishers when came to India they mispronounced our many hindi words like sipaahi they calll it sepoy and thrivantipuram , kolkata we didn't complain about that. So now we will also speak whatever we want.
Hi Aleena, Having lived in UK and US for over 3 decades, this is an excellent video with correct pronunciation and very helpful for English speaking Indians. Good video. Keep up your good work
Ms. RAIS, excellent initiative. Loved your simplicity. Your sessions will certainly help us revisit the common words, would be sharing this with my daughter. 3 words - Project, Matrix, Remedy
She is wrong about “Often”... there are universally two ways of acceptable pronunciation to say the words or some of other words...but saying that it can be only done in one way is an utter acceptance of living a pipe dream. Also, other than US & England, since Scots and Irish have their own accents, we also have to take into account Natives acceptance of pronounceability. For eg, Africans have their own way of saying english and so does the other part of the world.
Siya I didn’t know that. Does anyone told you not to follow American accent? It’s true that Indian education system gives priority to British (could be one of the after effects of Colonialism) but as a whole, India can’t follow a particular accent. It’s your individual choice whom to follow when it comes to a second language. There’s no universal rules about choosing an accent.
I respect that opinion. The new trends in ELT totally agree with you. But my say in this is slightly different. I guess we have to follow an accent (or accents) from a country whose native language is English. African countries and Asian countries including India may have their own accents but when it comes to acquiring a second language, having a reference point (a particular native accent of your choice) is helpful. Being comfortable with a “self made” accent would affect you adversely when you start to communicate with a global community. Being intelligible is important while using a language, and for that we have to follow any of the accepted or popular accent.
Brilliant video - we men tend to get misguided between British / American / Australian Clients when we interact with them either personal Or on teams meeting - its better to follow British English - thanks for your Eye Opener, it was really cute lesson learnt.
I think there's nothing called wrong pronunciation its just people have different accents we are not supposed to speak like british or Americans. Its better if people understand that
It is very useful for people trying to improve their pronunciations thank you for uploading this video mam and I am feeling that I can speak English with correct pronunciation😊
I don't wanna offend u... But different countries pronounce words different... It's completely fine... I don't understand why English is a big deal though...
Nice attempt Aleena, very well explained and expressed all the words. I am from India but settled in Australia. I have sometimes faced those words which we often use in India but they do not stand the same meaning in Australia. Such as- 1. We call rubber bands- (they call elastic bands or just bands) 2. Scale (used as stationary) - Ruler 3. Cello tape - sticky tape There are several other words who have the same meaning as compared to what we usually speak or are used to. When you speak be confident.
Really neat video. I really hope people out there watch this an imporve some of their mispronounced words. The words i notice most Indians struggle to pronounce are... AVAILABLE, PROBABLY, INTERNET and JANUARY.
Mam these are some of the words that people generally mispronounce : 1. Birthday as Birthaday 2. Were as Where 3. Water as Waater 4. Salad and Saalad You're videos are really helpful even to the people who think they speak good English, Thank you. Have a great day mam. Love from Namma Bengaluru ❤️
Actually I understood now, English is only imp in India... Even when I have been in US, UK even in Europe it's fine to know no English..... People actually don't care there... Only in India it's considered as very imp and people are judged... I think there is US English, UK englush and now on a globally we can have Indian English.... Why be so ashamed.. lets create Indian English.... Even Google , Amazon, n apple have started as a language option as Indian English to make its AI understand it...
There isn't a definite way of pronounciation and we are not supposed to pronounce the word as natives are pronouncing. Similar is the case with Britishers they can not pronounce hindi as we are pronouncing. Thank you.
I've heard UK people too, Lucy Bella Earl from "English with Lucy" also pronounces often with T despite being British. Infact she even posted a video stating that. Also if this teacher is teaching American or British English Pronunciation, then she should have either of the accent, but she doesn't.
I think the concept of pronunciations have changed as all the world is more and more connected. We can't expect an Italian to speak all the Japanese words exactly as a Japanese would
Exactly, We don't need to copy British or American accent, we have our own accent of english, we are now used to it and we only understand that. and i think this is enough
All i know is if i am talking to anyone if he is not offended with my pronunciation, then my words are correct And yes we all are used to it and i think everyone is comfortable with that. Till now no one said to or corrected me why are you not saying this word instead of that, it's a wrong pronunciation.
Well Sundar Pichai haven't changed accent for 20+ years but this young woman. Madame, the world accepts that English is not a first language for 90pc of thw world
Hey, am a newbie here, really learning something very productive in your channel. Here is a list of 10 words which should be pronounced correctly 1. Mischievous 2. Mauve 3. Espresso 4. Nuclear 5. Asterisk 6. Larvae 7. Sherbet 8. Niche 9. Chicanery 10. Bruschetta
I love your videos, but just a small correction ....Often as OF-T-EN with the sound of "T" isn't wrong as you said, it is pronounced that way in many countries, however on a personal note, I like to say "OFEN" its easy to speak .
Your pronounciation depends on which accent you speak. For eg-if you're speaking American accent you're gonna say wa-der you tend to emphasise the d , whereas if you're speaking british accent it's gonna be wo-tha u emphasise more in that t sound. So it all depends on your accent.
Pronunciation of different words depend on the accent like whether you're using british accent, american accent, Australian accent etc Pronunciation for word 'coupon' is different in all other accents. And for your info some people use american accent and some use british accent so you should've mentioned the proper accent. As for suggestions you can correct the pronunciation the of words with silent consonants like plumber, debt etc
Absolutely you are right, before someone to say you are wrong better we should sharp our pronunciation in all accent. You are damn right...she said about often and status both pronunciation were right that she pronounced.
Also the way we pronounce in India is Indian pronunciation. Why should we care about British, American or Australian accent! After all now Indian English is a thing too. 🤣
Ma sha Allah! Good to find a person who cares the vernaculars as far as the pronunciation is concerned. May Allah swt bless with health wealth and more wisdom.Amen. Three words mostly mispronounced 1.government.2. unique.3.bathe
The word often is pronounced in two ways. British: often (t silent) American: often (t not silent) Nowadays, the American one is common in British English. So you can prononce it on way or the other. Btw, thank you so much for helping us to pronounce the words right.
Hello Aleena, I just commented on your other video regarding the distinction in the pronunciation of 'v' and 'w' etc. I was very pleased to see this video about the right pronunciation of the words
Good effort mam thanks. 1. Practice 2. Chemistry 3. Doctor 4. Clear 5. Mother 6. Uncle 7. Aunty Mam i can tell you a lot of words mispronounciated in our country. Mam i love to see your passion after C.A you are exploring yourself and found a teacher in your soul, it is amazing. I am persuing C.A and have been teaching maths and accounts. Much inspired by you. Respect for you.
Of"t"en is not wrong its said the same way in the US English. India follows UK English. Hence the Differences. Many people confuse themselves on the way we pronounce things with different dictionaries
Keep in mind of British and US pronunciation . So,three things could happen : 1)Wrong pronunciation. 2)American pronunciation seen wrong by some . 3)British Pronunciation : Most voice coach follow American accent so even if you are pronouncing right . They would call you wrong . Why do Indians face problem with pronunciation ? The way you learned to open you're mouth influence of you're family and environment . How you open your mouth naturally . The influence of mother language . So,what to do ? 1)First ,be real don't try to look or sound like American or Britishers ,rather focus on being Neutral . Trust me you can be better then Native if you're thought process is good ,no grammar error,Right pronunciation. Sound real ,how many of you hate "Fake accents " ,so fake man !!!! 2)Type the word on Google as pronunciation of XYZ . Some words are mispronounced in the world . 3)Do some Jaw exercise ... 4)Roll you're tongue,touch the palette with tongue. 5)Read loudly but at alow pace . 6)Most important focus on syllable stress ...I do make mistake with this . Please,don't worry about English ,just keep on improving and be real ,and if someone laugh at you're English .It's the weakness of their mind not You're. Lastly don't try to learn from some movie or songs .Terrible idea to pick English .

Your effort is appreciable my dear. Some words I can think of, which are mispronounced often are: correct, heir, restaurant, boutique, uniform, garage, suggestion, schedule (though there are a lot more). May I suggest something please? It would be nice if you could mention which English pronunciation you are giving us: American or British. Thank you. 👍
Homework answer: Some misprounced words: • vitamin (some people pronounce it as vieta-min, but actually it is veta-min • dengue ( many speaks it as dain-gu but it is dain-gi) •poem (poyem ❌ pomm ✔) Schedule (sheh-duel ❌, skejual ✔) Mam I hope I'm correct, if not then plz correct me..
some things are incorrect. 'vai tuh min' is the american way so it's not really wrong. Schedule is pronounced as 'sheh jool' in the UK and 'ske-jool' in the US. so neither is wrong
The word "often" has two types of pronunciation: The one you chose to say as an incorrect one is actually a correct one. 👇 often /ˈɒf(ə)n , , ˈɒft(ə)n / ▸ adverb (oftener, oftenest) frequently; many times: he often goes for long walks by himself how often do you have your hair cut? ▪ in many instances: vocabulary often reflects social standing. - PHRASES as often as not quite frequently or commonly: I had two homes really, because as often as not I was down at her house. more often than not usually: food is scarce and more often than not they go hungry. - ORIGIN Middle English: extended form of oft, probably influenced by selden‘seldom’. Early examples appear to be northern English; the word became general in the 16th century.
True pronunciations and spellings vary specially in American and British English . What you have covered and we in India have been learning is British English , the minute we enter corporate world and 🖥 world things do change. Finally well covered and was educative .
I agree, a couple of them like "status" and "tuition" are pronounced both ways. However, the length of syllables are still relevant and wrongly emphasised by Indians in general.
A polite reminder: we Indians tend to swap our Vs and Ws. I too am guilty of this. Therefore: 1)woman is not vooman (please correct me if I'm wrong, but that's how it is pronounced in the video). Woman is pronounced Woo-mun (mun as in mundane, or pronounce Monday without '-day'.). Don't drop the w, don't swap it with V. 2) Women is pronounced weh-men (to pronounce the first part, pronounce the first syllable of 'with'). Again, don't drop the w, don't swap it with V. 3) Vehicle - her pronunciation is correct, expect for the common mistake of swapping Vs and Ws. Vehicle is pronounced vee-ikle, not wee-ikle. I hope this helps us all. From personal experience, I can tell you that practice helps! Jai Hind 🇮🇳
Here's the thing honey, India didn't invent english. You cant tell people that they cant pronounce things the American way and rather, the British way. For ex, both often and status pronunciations are correct. Also let me correct your own english. "i would love you to comment on my video" is wrong. "i would love it if you commented on my video" is correct :)
Tereza Christy.. it seems you didn't even understand the motive/the target audience of this content.. and just Critisizing.. and she didn't said "I would love you to comment on my video"... She said "i would love to hear your thoughts".. Know your facts before you come at any one kid... I think she has done great it'll help lots of people
@@davidm2144 Go listen at 3:10 "kNoW YoUr fAcTs bEfOrE YoU CoMe aT AnY OnE kId." I never said what she did wasn't helpful. But if she can feel entitled to correct someone's usage of a pronunciation being American, I can correct her obvious incorrect use of the language too. And as for the motive behind the video, I feel its about the "commonly mispronounced words in India" as we gather from the title itself. Hence my point being, it doesn't say in the constitution, we're only supposed to follow British English. She's wrong about something she makes a video on, when in reality, she can't even speak the language properly as you can see from the time stamp. Don't reply if you don't have a decent argument. The internet is full of morons and there's no harm in calling them out, which i did.
I would beg to differ on words here. "Often" and "status" They are pronounced both ways. If we are to say the UK way is the right way to pronounce words, then "stey-tus" would be the only right option. Otherwise, "sta-tuhs" is correct too. Nonetheless, I liked the video. 👍🏼
"Often" Uk and American accents you said both correct.... And you can see a lots difference in pronunciation while travel different part/state of US. Australia is far different.... So there is no correct pronunciation.. opposite person should understand what you meant Thank you
I think both pronunciations of "buried" and "status" are correct. It's just a geographical difference. BUH-reed is common in some UK accents and BEAR-reed is used in the US. STAY-tus is correct in the UK, and STÆ- tus is used in the US.
For your kind information 'often' is pronounced as 'of-ten' as well. And it is correct according to the British pronunciation rule. They accept both pronunciation as 'of-ten' and 'ofen'
when she said i really hope you liked today's video at 5:41, i was like- OMG!!! i just loved her...her expressions are amazing. thank you for such useful information.ma'am :-P
I'm speaking as an American here: For "Status", I'm pretty sure the way you said is wrong is definitely the more common pronunciation in the US, so it's clearly not wrong. For "Pronunciation", "Often", "Burry", and "Burried", I don't think people would care either way. For "Woman", "Women", "Vehicle", and "Vegetable", you were still pronouncing them wrong, switching the "v" and "w" sounds. Otherwise, these are good.
I am always keen to learn something in english as i love to resort to this language and keep finding videos on youTube which help me improve, i was just searching videos and i stumbled upon this video and probably i am watching u for the very first time ,you sound really natural on top of that u r providing some really valuable content😊, Thanks
