    Hello, and welcome back. In
    this lesson, I will show you
    fifty words that you are
    probably pronouncing
    incorrectly right now. And I’ll
    also teach you how to say them
    correctly.
    Let’s start with this word -
    how do you say it? Well, we say
    /prə-’nauns/, /prə-’naunst/ and
    /prə-’nauns-iŋ/, but /prə-nən-
    si-’eɪ-shən/. There’s no ‘noun’
    in this word. It’s
    ‘pronunciation.’
    Word number two is ‘says’. This
    word is commonly mispronounced
    by people learning English as
    /s eɪs/. But remember: I say,
    you say, but he or she /sez/.
    Number three is ‘et cetera’. A
    very common incorrect
    pronunciation is to say ‘ek’ -
    ‘ek setra’ instead of ‘et’.
    Don’t say that. And also
    remember that the stress is on
    ‘ce’. So the word is /et-’se-
    tə-rə/. You will also hear
    /et-’se-trə/ - that is less
    common but it’s OK too.
    Next up is ‘often’. Some
    pronounce this as /’äf-tən/.
    Now, strictly speaking, /’äf-
    tən/ is not wrong, but the more
    common pronunciation is with
    the ‘t’ silent, so I recommend
    that you always say /’ä-fən/.
    One word that is often
    mispronounced by learners of
    English is ‘women’. This is, of
    course, because of the English
    language’s crazy spelling
    system. But remember that we
    say /’wu-mən/ for one woman and
    /’wi-min/ for the plural -
    /’wi-min/.
    Word number six is ‘police’.
    This isn’t /po-lees/ or /po-
    lis/. It’s /pə/ and /lees/ with
    the stress on /lees/. So
    /pə-’lees/.
    The next word is ‘vehicle’.
    It’s often pronounced wrongly
    as /ve-hi-kl/. But the ‘e’ is a
    long vowel and the ‘h’ is
    silent. So /’vee-ə-kl/.
    Number eight is this word. How
    would you say it? The correct
    pronunciation is /’zhän-rə/. Pay
    attention to the first sound,
    it’s like ‘sh’ but you put your
    voice into it - /’zhän-rə/.
    /’zhän-rə/
    Next up is actually what you’re
    watching right now - ‘video’.
    The important thing is that
    both the ‘i’ and the ‘e’ are
    pronounced as short ‘i’ sounds.
    It’s not /vee-di-o/, it’s
    /’vi-di-o/.
    If you watch a video on RUclips
    or Facebook, you might leave a
    ‘comment’. I have heard many
    speakers say /’kə-ment/. Now
    whether you use this word as a
    noun or a verb, the first
    syllable is always /’kä /. So
    it’s never a /’kə-ment/, it’s a
    /’kä-ment/.
    Word number eleven is
    ‘interesting’. This is
    mispronounced sometimes as
    /’in-tə-rə-stiŋ/. But there are
    only three syllables - /in / -
    /trə / - /stiŋ/ and the stress
    is on ‘IN’. So the word is
    /’in-trə-stiŋ/.
    Number twelve is ‘hotel’. There
    are two syllables - /ho/ and /
    tel/ like the English word
    ‘tell’ as in ‘tell me’. The
    stress is on the second
    syllable, so /ho-’tel/.
    A related word is ‘suite’. This
    means a set of connected rooms
    in a hotel and this is wrongly
    pronounced by many people as
    /soot/. But it’s /sweet/ - like
    when you eat a piece of candy -
    /sweet/.
    While we’re on the topic of
    suites and hotels, I cannot
    leave out this word -
    ‘restaurant’. It gives a lot of
    English learners trouble. But,
    don’t let the fancy spelling
    confuse you - the second
    syllable is just /tə /. The
    third is /ränt/. So /’res-tə-
    ränt/. In British English, you
    might hear just two syllables -
    /’res-trɒnt/ - that is also
    correct.
    After you eat at a restaurant,
    you have to pay the bill. But
    you might get a discount on
    your bill if you have one of
    these - a ‘coupon’. A common
    incorrect pronunciation is
    /’koo-pən/. But the second
    syllable should be /pän/. So -
    /’koo-pän/.
    Here’s word number sixteen -
    how would you say it? The
    proper pronunciation is not
    ‘break’ ‘fast’ - it’s
    ‘breakfast’. /brek / with a
    short /e/ sound and /fəst/ with
    an /ə/ sound - so /’brek-fəst/.
    You know what I had for
    breakfast today? I had this -
    ‘pizza’. Really, I did. It’s
    not a /pee-sə/ and it’s not a
    /peed-zə/. There’s no /z/ sound
    in this word. It’s /peet/, /sə/
    - /’peet-sə/.
    Another food word that’s
    mispronounced a lot is
    ‘vegetable’. It’s not /ve-jə-
    tə-bl/. If you say it correctly,
    there are only three syllables
    - /vej/, / tə/, /bl/ - /’vej-
    tə-bl/.
    Let’s talk about a couple of
    vegetables now - this is a
    ‘cucumber’. It’s not a /ku-
    koom-bər/. Think of it like
    saying the letter ‘Q’ and then
    /kəm-bər/ like ‘number’. So
    /’kyoo-kəm-bər/.
    This vegetable is called
    ‘lettuce’. I know the spelling
    looks like /let-yoos/ but it’s
    not - it’s /letis/.
    And since we talking about
    food, here’s a food that just
    about everybody loves -
    ‘chocolate’. When you ask for
    this at the store, make sure
    there are only two syllables -
    /chäk / and /lət/ - /’chäk-lət/.
    And remember: there is no
    ‘late’ in ‘chocolate’.
    Speaking of chocolate, how
    would you say this word? This
    is ‘dessert’.

    A clarification about the word _singer:_ that sound in "singer" is neither an "n" nor a "g". It's a separate phonetic entity - /ŋ/ - the same "ng" sound as in "ring". My aim in this video was to contrast it with "finger" in which there is both a /ŋ/ (ng) sound and a "g" sound. Many ESL learners say "singer" like "finger". Compare:
    Finger - /ˈfɪŋ.ɡər/ - both /ŋ/ and /g/ are enunciated. Listen here: www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/finger
    Singer - /ˈsɪŋ.ər/ - only /ŋ/ is enunciated (there is no /g/ sound). Listen here: www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/singer

      Those Merriam-Webster sound bites, I think, are generated by a computer. Their example for "singer" does not sound natural to me. I've said the words FINGER, SINGER, RINGER, etc. over and over to myself and they sound alike , but then again, I know people who live 20 minutes away from me who pronounce the word ORANGE as OR-ranj and PICTURE as pitcher. Even funnier when they say the word ACME and it becomes three syllables: AK-a-me!
      Keep up the good work.

      @Marlene DR Well, we are a land of multiple languages. Most of us in India speak or understand at least 3 different languages which necessarily might not be English. English isn't out first language, we develop it out of interest most of the times but "the ones who cannot speak a lick of English well" might know other languages for sure. So, kindly don't discriminate. We love our culture and own linguistics. But we still try! Cheers..

    • @gdhhayes2129
      @gdhhayes2129 6 лет назад +4

      Pahu i beg to differ. I am native born American with excellent grammar; my mother being exceedingly particular about proper enunciation. In high school i took college level english classes, and as an adult I have continued learning so as to extend my vocabulary. I'm only to # 12 (watching out of curiosity) and already noted three words with which I disagree. Just because the masses prounounce a word in a pargicular way does NOT mean that is correct prounuciation. Etcetera is pronounced "et" NOT "ex". The word interesting is NOT correctly pronounced intresting, it IS a four syllable word: in-ter-es-ting. And to continue my argument I must exit out to review for the other as my tablet won't allow me to toggle back and forth, and my recall just failed me. Edit: third word is often. Phonetically it is correct to speak say of-ten. In 17th century lazy speech the "t" was dropped. However, is IS correct to enunciate the t sound as it is is again acceptable to speak it as such. I speak it both ways depending on if I get lazy with my speech, or use correct grammer, which, as stated includes using all the consonants. Suffice it to say, while this is a good video, overall, it is not entirely accurate. I supect were I to watch to the end I would find a couple more, or so, to correct. If you doubt me, look the words up in a dictionary.

      Have you ever heard of a comedian named Gallagher? He's a riot when he gets into pronouncing words. He will say something like, we have the word, "foot, so, is it food? NOOOO it's fooood. Is good goooood? Noooo it's pronounced good." He cracks us up so much we get to crying. He asks, "Why do we park in a driveway and drive on a parkway?" "Why do we call it a, building when it's finished? Why isn't it called a built?" One can only do this kind of word play after they learn correct English, so happy learning to you all.

      Think about saying the “ng” sound in “singer”, or “ringer” in the sides of your mouth for a soft sound, not using your teeth to make a hard “g.” But for a word like “linger”, meaning staying or stalking around a specific area (more or less), you emphasize the hard “g.” Our rules have a million exceptions, so it’s hard to say why it’s said the way it is. But if you have a great memory, English is easier on flash cards! Lots of practice and speaking with native English speakers helps, as I know my Japanese improved when I spoke Japanese with my sensei.

    I started watching this video with a casual intention as it appeared in our recommended list, may be due to our start up channel covering some of the English mistakes with my child presenting it. But after started seeing it, I became engrossed into it that i ended up watching all 50 words. It was presented in as simple, lucid and interesting way as possible. The connection that you kept deriving from one word to another was equally fun too. I was actually thinking on commenting on two words - Singer and Often. And there I see a note pinned by you. With respect to often, it is equally and in fact, in my opinion, more correct to say with 't' pronounced as that is the puritan way of saying from Brits. When we spent sometime in London, we heard every Brit using that word with 't' pronounced. Just some additional info, if it helps. Thanks once again for this lovely video. We enjoyed watching this and had our share of learning too. Interested viewers can watch our channel too - We take inspirations from masters like this one.

      Sandi Mann That's kind of you, but it's wrong to assume he knows Hindi. Firstly, for all you know, he might be from Bangladesh(native language, Bangla) or Sri Lanka(native language, Tamil).
      Even if he is an Indian, it's very likely that he doesn't speak Hindi as his first or second language.

    Pronounciation or Pronunciation : “Pronounce" is the verb, but the O is omitted for the noun: “pronunciation." This mistake ranks right up there in incongruity with “writting."
