In br this lesson, I will show you br fifty words that you are br probably pronouncing br incorrectly right now. And I’ll br also teach you how to say them br correctly.br Let’s start with this word – br how do you say it? Well, we say br prə-’nauns, prə-’naunst and br prə-’nauns-iŋ, but prə-nən-br si-’eɪ-shən. There’s no ‘noun’ br in this word. It’s br ‘pronunciation.’br Word number two is ‘says’. This br word is commonly mispronounced br by people learning English as br s eɪs. But remember: I say, br you say, but he or she sez.br Number three is ‘et cetera’. A br very common incorrect br pronunciation is to say ‘ek’ – br ‘ek setra’ instead of ‘et’. br Don’t say that. And also br remember that the stress is on br ‘ce’. So the word is et-’se-br tə-rə. You will also hear br et-’se-trə – that is less br common but it’s OK too.br Next up is ‘often’. Some br pronounce this as ’äf-tən. br Now, strictly speaking, ’äf-br tən is not wrong, but the more br common pronunciation is with br the ‘t’ silent, so I recommend br that you always say ’ä-fən.br One word that is often br mispronounced by learners of br English is ‘women’. This is, of br course, because of the English br language’s crazy spelling br system. But remember that we br say ’wu-mən for one woman and br ’wi-min for the plural – br ’wi-min.br Word number six is ‘police’. br This isn’t po-lees or po-br lis. It’s pə and lees with br the stress on lees. So br pə-’lees.br The next word is ‘vehicle’. br It’s often pronounced wrongly br as ve-hi-kl. But the ‘e’ is a br long vowel and the ‘h’ is br silent. So ’vee-ə-kl.br Number eight is this word. How br would you say it? The correct br pronunciation is ’zhän-rə. Pay br attention to the first sound, br it’s like ‘sh’ but you put your br voice into it - ’zhän-rə. br ’zhän-rəbr Next up is actually what you’re br watching right now – ‘video’. br The important thing is that br both the ‘i’ and the ‘e’ are br pronounced as short ‘i’ sounds. br It’s not vee-di-o, it’s br ’vi-di-o.br If you watch a video on YouTube br or Facebook, you might leave a br ‘comment’. I have heard many br speakers say ’kə-ment. Now br whether you use this word as a br noun or a verb, the first br syllable is always ’kä . So br it’s never a ’kə-ment, it’s a br ’kä-ment.br Word number eleven is br ‘interesting’. This is br mispronounced sometimes as br ’in-tə-rə-stiŋ. But there are br only three syllables – in – br trə – stiŋ and the stress br is on ‘IN’. So the word is br ’in-trə-stiŋ.br Number twelve is ‘hotel’. There br are two syllables – ho and br tel like the English word br ‘tell’ as in ‘tell me’. The br stress is on the second br syllable, so ho-’tel.br A related word is ‘suite’.
