English: a language in which - 1. you don't pronounce words the way they are written; 2. you don't write words the way they are pronounced; 3. you don't pronounce silent letters; 4. you pronounce absent letters; 5. every vowel is often pronounced as another vowel; and 6. many letters are often pronounced as other letters.
Actually there is no language where you pronounce evertything how it's written. Polish is quite easy with it, but we have things like "sz" "cz" "rz" "ch" which aren't pronounced "c-z" "s-z" "r-z" "c-h". Funniest thing? We pronounce "ch" same way as "h" (also "rz" like "ż") I believe nobody knows why we use "ch" or "h" if there is no difference between them in pronounciation, only ortography. For words to look more fancy on paper? Still I respect French most for inventng language with "eau" pronounced as "o". "Hey, man how we will call thaat liquid?" "Let's just write all vowels but one." "Done, but how we will sa it?" "Just like missing vowel.
@@Petaurista13 in Spanish we pronounce every single letter written. There is just the N followed by I rule and the silent H. I think the worst is french. Also in Irish names u dont pronounce a letter as it is written like Niamh is pronounced as Neave
The problem with English is that the written form has almost no relation to how it's pronounced, unlike a lot of other languages. So people learning English make the mistake of thinking words are spoken as they are written, and native English speakers are often unable to pronounce foreign words by just reading them, they need to hear them to learn how they are spoken.
I am learning both English and French (second and third language) and I am quite sure that French pronunciation is much more regular and easier to learn than English.
RobertBlackford That is because they are using French spelling with semi-English pronunciation rules. In their own contexts, French has the more regular pronunciation.
Being British doesn't mean that you speak well English. It's just a nationality. I'm British but I leave in France so I don't speak English like a native. Mais je parle français couramment ;) 🇫🇷🇬🇧
@@pradhyumnaadusumilli3865 well just go to @asianboss channel. Watch the interview with Indians. I swear they have worst pronunciation among all Asian countries. Even worse than Philippines and Thailand.

Menkuna - I pronounce them (wors) all correctly too, and I'm from Scotland. (Amazing, eh?) I would add that I don't pronounce them all as she thinks they should be uttered. "Wensday" e.g. I would say "Wednsday" (as in Odin's day). Comfortable is just comfortable as it's written, and I have never heard people pronounce any of the other words mentioned wrong. You'll like this story as you're from Germany. - I met a dapper old gent from Germany about fifteen years ago and we had quite a long conversation in a hotel lounge, during which he told me he had been coming to Scotland on holiday every year for decades. He was telling me that his children (now adults) were also repeat visitors and enjoyed hiking in the Islands. So when I said my sister in law's people came from Harris, he looked puzzled and said "You say Harris, (hard A), So did I, but when I was taught English I was told to say Herris". I said "Of course, you were, because you were taught by an Englishman, they're best ignored where pronunciation is concerned". I went on to asked him why he began coming to Scotland. He said he was in the Luftwaffe and used to fly over Glasgow during the war. He told me that after they had completed the bomb run, they would fly out over the Clyde estuary and then make the home run from Loch Lomond. He said he was so impressed with the beauty of the landscape that he determined to visit after the war was over. I smiled at him and said "Do you know, It was even more beautiful before you flew over". He was such a nice old guy. They really were a different breed in these days, I don't know if I could have done it.
I learned to speak Harris also like "Herris", it feels for me really strange to say it with a hard A (thats the thing thats mostly in my head after reading your comment. I could be prouder of myself.)
Menkuna Oh I don't think pride has much to do with it. You just have to stop assuming that people are right in everything they say just because they were the first to say it. There are place names like Milngavie which are pronounced "Milgai', Greenwich pronounced "Grennich" etc. It isn't a lack of pride which causes me to feel normal about pronouncing them in a way which seems at odds with how they're spelled. Sometimes we just forget to ask questions. That's why we need the very young, they haven't learned not to ask obvious questions yet.

Trần Hoàng if for -er you mean A in the Latin pronunciation the you're right, if you mean it in the german way to say I woudn't be so sure. Now I'm curious, how do people pronounce it usually? 🤔
Yeah, but those are words I learned in primary school... Like, all of them xD Though I can imagine it being difficult to imagine words, that are hard to learn for foreigners, when you've never had trouble pronouncing them yourself ^^ I think longer words with a tricky pronunciation would have made a better video for people, who already speak English a little but want to improve their pronunciation nontheless :)

I can tell about my experience in Brazil, my native country. Even in middle class schools, English has little importance and we are taught by non native English teachers, with either little knowledge in pronunciation, either not much care to reinforce it. If we really want to get past being only acquainted with the very basics, we have to take classes at language schools. Still, since we have mostly little to zero involvement with English on a daily basis, it gets to a point we all get to speak only a broken English between ourselves, during those language school classes. Thanks to videos like this, and other many resources on internet, we can now study, improve and practice our skills by ourselves.
Zoe Liakos But shes talking about the way to say it in English, Greek may be its origin, but most of the English Language have words that derived from Greek words.
Come on, lots of people say cho-co-lat(e), for example. She also talked about fruit, which reminded of people saying "this shirt /suits/ me, instead of /suts/...and so on. She was right about vegetables, as well: some people say vegeTAbles or vegeTEYbles.
@@rafael.0.0.0.0 The hell they do. Spanish speakers, sure, they mangle the hell out of basically every English word. But Portuguese native speakers, no way. They're the fastest to pick up proper English pronunciation, and when they learn, there's hardly any trace left of their original accents, unlike French and Italians. Unless you mean Brazilians.
corbeau First of all the point of this video was to explain pronunciations and clearly “ueue” is not pronounced so that’s what the comment meant.Secondly, it’s just a joke you don’t have to get all literal. :/
Choose-day! That is the cutest thing I have ever heard! In America, we say Toos-day! I love the variances in British and American English--there's no hate here, only
If you're interested in how this happened: It was originally pronounced something like "tyoozday". In America, you dropped the y sound making "toozday", but in Britain we merged the t and y together to make "choozday". :D The same thing happened with words like "due" and "dew", which Americans pronounce like the word "do", but Brits pronounce like the word "jew". XD
Luke Marshall Quite right Luke, but i try and describe it as t'use said rapidly as one syllable. Like the German tchuss, a very ancient way, even pre-england, i think she's used a bad example on here saying "like choose"although it comes out very much like it, i always make sure of the t sound.
Luke Marshall They sometimes say due ( to arrive at) as do (action of carrying out), so i can see why you used the Jew rhyme example instead of due, even though due and dew (water droplets) sound the same in the UK, rhyming with Jew. Do, sounds differently from dew or due over here US peeps.
That moment when you comes across this video, already being a speaker of English and you click it and watch the whole thing because...well the girl is cute.😂😂😂
Speaker of english? Seriously? I was gonna say we're in the same boat but I dont think youre a native speaker, are you? But yeah I totally agree with what u said this video was recommend for me by You Tube yknow and then I just couldn't ignore it cuz the girls is cute af lol
@@aroonramcharitar6396 yeah 🤣🤣🤣. Wait a sec, so that means you're from a non english speaking country but now u just speak english? or that you're just not from England but you're from an english speaking country like USA Ps: If you're American we're both😃

Angshuman Debbarma even though, this videos shows just the right way on British, American and Australian are entirely different from some of these words, like in comfortable, and queue
when you look the comments i will be there Actually I'm Australian and we say Queue just like the Brits. the Americans are the ones that dumbed it all down.
ivanduvok A British one. There is no one 'British accent' Youve got lots of different accents for every different bit of the country, I speak with a Scouse accent, theres also Cockney, Yorkshire accents, Lancashire accents, Birmingham accent, Southern accents etc, theres many many different ones.
Actually, there are quite a few people who say "wednsday" or some form of wed-nes-day, including my grandfather, but the way she said in the video is more common
Had to admit that i'm one of those majority of Malaysians too... Man, i'd probably be pronouncing it wrongly till i die had it not been for this wonderful video...
@@Cugzayhulls actually, you can spell in both ways. In American English, it's "memorize" and in British English, it's "memorise". It's that way with a few words. A lot of words in American English that have a "ze" have an "se" in British English. It's the same with "or" and "our" in words.
Interesting video. For information, "queue" is actually a french word ("Queue" /kø/, which means "tail") so that's where the english pronunciation come from.

The problem with English is that the written form has almost no relation to how it's pronounced, unlike a lot of other languages.
So people learning English make the mistake of thinking words are spoken as they are written, and native English speakers are often unable to pronounce foreign words by just reading them, they need to hear them to learn how they are spoken.
Hence the lesson.
I would argue that French is far more consistent with it's rules of pronunciation than English.
I am learning both English and French (second and third language) and I am quite sure that French pronunciation is much more regular and easier to learn than English.
RobertBlackford That is because they are using French spelling with semi-English pronunciation rules. In their own contexts, French has the more regular pronunciation.

English with Lucy thank you
Very useful video! As Italian can be a real struggle for us pronunciate these words correctly thats because we have very strong sounds while English is much more softer.
Mr. Lemtosh Io dicevo giusto solo i giorni della settimana ahah
Mr. Lemtosh la nostra insegnante d'inglese dice " uan,CIU,TRI,FOR...e "the " lo dice "ZE"...come dovrei fare ad imparare l' inglese non lo so...
io non concordo con la pronuncia di chaos comunque. é una parola latina di origine greca quindi poco importa di come la pronunciano gli inglesi
Importa nel momento in cui usi la parola in quella lingua, così come probabilmente in italiano pronuncerai male le parole prese in prestito da altre lingue.
Uh un Italiano
The British accent is very attractive! I could listen to everything in British English.
Most of the mispronounced words she had said were first time in my ears, I think I've been taught correctly by my teachers since I knew how to pronounce them all. 😂✌
Same here and I am an Indian
I am indian but same hehe😂

Hi Lucy, thank you for the lesson
Thank you so much, Ms Lucy.
I also find 2 word that many people may pronounce incorrectly, they are "pizza" & "suite".
Suite is one of the most commons I think!
Trần Hoàng how do you pronounce pizza?
'pi:tser
Trần Hoàng if for -er you mean A in the Latin pronunciation the you're right, if you mean it in the german way to say I woudn't be so sure.
Now I'm curious, how do people pronounce it usually? 🤔
Pitsa and suweet LOL
Froot
Kaos
Q
Krissspsss
Resipy

Klicked in the Video to learn some english and taught "WHO the fuck would say i like that"
*thought
sorry! just trying to help :)
people whose first language isn't english, obviously
Yeah, but those are words I learned in primary school... Like, all of them xD
Though I can imagine it being difficult to imagine words, that are hard to learn for foreigners, when you've never had trouble pronouncing them yourself ^^ I think longer words with a tricky pronunciation would have made a better video for people, who already speak English a little but want to improve their pronunciation nontheless :)
I can tell about my experience in Brazil, my native country.
Even in middle class schools, English has little importance and we are taught by non native English teachers, with either little knowledge in pronunciation, either not much care to reinforce it.
If we really want to get past being only acquainted with the very basics, we have to take classes at language schools.
Still, since we have mostly little to zero involvement with English on a daily basis, it gets to a point we all get to speak only a broken English between ourselves, during those language school classes.
Thanks to videos like this, and other many resources on internet, we can now study, improve and practice our skills by ourselves.
*Clicked on the video to learn some English and thought: "Who the fuck would like this?"
:))
Pronunciation would be:
Tuesday: choose-day
Wednesday: wens-day
Chaos: k-os
Fruit: froot
Chocolate: chooc-let
Vegetable: veg-tible
Comfortable: comf-tible
Queue: just the letter 'Q'
Recipe: Resip-ee
no no it's chewsjday
Bo oh o wa ah
Wait what? I pronounced each one correctly...Thank you for the video
Me too yay
Me too
This is what you studied so hard for. This feeling when you know that you speak perfectly.
English is my first and only language, why am I watching this? XD
Because like me you thought it was really going to have a few words we may actually pronounce differently.
its my second i wanna feel superior
I watch for the pretty lady :)
Same your not alone lol
This woman's gorgeous that's why
Who the hell pronounces "Fruit" as "Froo-eet". I need to arrest you.
A lot of Russians do😅
Spanish students
I am not supposed to like your comment because of how many likes you already have
😂
This is for people learning English. Imagine seeing the words choir and yacht for the first time
I thought it was so, so cool when she snapped her fingers, the word crisps appeared! As well as most of the other ones too!!
Everyone in INDIA will pronounce these words correctly . YES it's true
Agreed lol
But I hear many people say chocoolate, vegeetable,
But with your accent it sound weird
@@jonchelsea5428 not mine I speak in british accent tho I'm an Indian
@@PxychoCaxon same!
Indians have been taught the right way to pronounce things... Great stuff... Who calls Crisps as crips? Lol
Time Warp lmao true
I'm a lot like the Indians: also taught to pronounce things the right way, bur rarely remember to do so in practice :)
Ya its right
Hitler
Karthik Bhai😂😂😂
Crips longe?
The Fru-it is funny! 😂 I never heared any one say that but it would be great if I encountered one! 😂
Come to Malaysia, u will meet many of them, Malaysian normally read/pronounce word letter by letter
@@hakmimohd920 Spanish speakers aswell
Slovaks too ;)
Italians!
I'm Italian and I teach English at school. I've heard tons of 'fru-it' 😂😂
Finally I hear somebody pronouncing words the way I learnt it 50 years ago.
Just pronounce the right word without confusing the students by repeating the wrong words.
Good point!I agree with you on that one!
Exactly!
You're just jealous because she's pretty, aren't you?
No, I think it helps a lot, actually
As an English person watching this was very entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed it :)
I can't pronounce "thoroughly" xD
the word chaos is a greek word and the mispronouncement in English is the the right way to pronounce it in Greek ☺☺
Zoe Liakos But shes talking about the way to say it in English, Greek may be its origin, but most of the English Language have words that derived from Greek words.
Zoe Liakos maybe it originates in greece but its an english word now and thats why we dont pronounce it in the greek way
Zoe Liakos Ελληνας? XD
TheCherryAtThe TopOfTheCakeAyee Ναι φυσικά γι αυτό το ξέρω ☺
Πες τααα
Being South Asian,I must be grateful to my teachers who taught me the correct pronunciation of almost all these words when I was a child....😘😘😘
I always pronounced recipe as reCIPE. 'cipe' as in 'cype'. I was so wrong.. 😂😂
So i did 😩
Me too 😩😩😩😩😩
Well, technically it should be... but the English language sometimes can't follow its own rules.
It's because it's a Latin word.
"chaos" is actually a greek word ..just to know🇬🇷👑
The mytological personification of the primordial void.
Chaos is a ladder
I wanna say the same hahahah
Im greek. Γεια
Like most of todays terminology and words. People just not realize this.
Who don't know the "fruits"??? 😂
Χρυσουλα Κουλουμπου doesn’t*

Learners
People who aren't very good at English.
Mango-Tango like him, getting “doesnt” wrong
“Keep your thoughts cleaner than pure water. As water drops make a river, thoughts make character and faith.”
I have never heard of anyone pronouncing these wrong.
Edit: omg thx for the likes!!!
Come on, lots of people say cho-co-lat(e), for example. She also talked about fruit, which reminded of people saying "this shirt /suits/ me, instead of /suts/...and so on. She was right about vegetables, as well: some people say vegeTAbles or vegeTEYbles.
Hi, I'm from Mexico and I can say that it is very common to hear these pronunciations, American and Mexican people.
Spanish and Portuguese speakers do it a lot.
@@rafael.0.0.0.0 The hell they do. Spanish speakers, sure, they mangle the hell out of basically every English word. But Portuguese native speakers, no way. They're the fastest to pick up proper English pronunciation, and when they learn, there's hardly any trace left of their original accents, unlike French and Italians.
Unless you mean Brazilians.
@@carallustafordam7699 Yes. I mean Brazilians. Most of them are the opposite of what you said.
ex girlfriend- how much important i am to you?
me- as important as 'ueue' in 'queue' ;)
damn
🤣🤣
the ueue defines the word, though. Que and Q are very different in meaning. I don't think she gives meaning to you -.-
This is what we call SAVAGE and witty, hehe
corbeau First of all the point of this video was to explain pronunciations and clearly “ueue” is not pronounced so that’s what the comment meant.Secondly, it’s just a joke you don’t have to get all literal. :/
lovely pronunciation :)
MyHeaven Bangla English
As an urdu native speaker, we have 50 plus sounds in our language, which make us best in any sort of pronunciation.
Hey also Persian 💘
Lol
I'm not a native english speaker but I Pronounce ALL the Words correct,it's not hard actually 😌
Same here, except "recipe"...
@@Zaphod4223 2:35
what is this flex
drink reci and go pee
"correctly" not correct, clever clogs
Choose-day! That is the cutest thing I have ever heard! In America, we say Toos-day! I love the variances in British and American English--there's no hate here, only
If you're interested in how this happened: It was originally pronounced something like "tyoozday". In America, you dropped the y sound making "toozday", but in Britain we merged the t and y together to make "choozday". :D
The same thing happened with words like "due" and "dew", which Americans pronounce like the word "do", but Brits pronounce like the word "jew". XD
MIND BLOWN
Luke Marshall Quite right Luke, but i try and describe it as t'use said rapidly as one syllable. Like the German tchuss, a very ancient way, even pre-england, i think she's used a bad example on here saying "like choose"although it comes out very much like it, i always make sure of the t sound.
Luke Marshall They sometimes say due ( to arrive at) as do (action of carrying out), so i can see why you used the Jew rhyme example instead of due, even though due and dew (water droplets) sound the same in the UK, rhyming with Jew. Do, sounds differently from dew or due over here US peeps.
WHO GIVES A FUCK HOW AMERICANS DO ANYTHING LET ALONE PRONOUNCE SOMETHING????
That moment when you comes across this video, already being a speaker of English and you click it and watch the whole thing because...well the girl is cute.😂😂😂
ya
Speaker of english? Seriously? I was gonna say we're in the same boat but I dont think youre a native speaker, are you? But yeah I totally agree with what u said this video was recommend for me by You Tube yknow and then I just couldn't ignore it cuz the girls is cute af lol
@@hoffmannxd 😂😂😂Yeah. The girl is super cute. And no, I'm not from England but English is the only language I can speak and understand ever since.😂😂😂
@@aroonramcharitar6396 yeah 🤣🤣🤣. Wait a sec, so that means you're from a non english speaking country but now u just speak english? or that you're just not from England but you're from an english speaking country like USA
Ps: If you're American we're both😃
@@hoffmannxd I'm not from England. I'm American. Yeah, we're both American.😂😂😂
Amazing i love your English mam i love it ♥️♥️♥️😘😘purple u
i am so greatful to learn from this gorgeous presenter! 😄
I searched on how to pronounce famotidine, and here I am... wow.. I've pronounced everything correctly so far, and I'm a Singaporean Chinese.. damnn that felt good~
M not an english but I can pronounce every word correctly
Angshuman Debbarma even though, this videos shows just the right way on British, American and Australian are entirely different from some of these words, like in comfortable, and queue
Angshuman Debbarma even though, this videos shows just the right way on British, American and Australian are entirely different from some of these words, like in comfortable, and queue
when you look the comments i will be there Actually I'm Australian and we say Queue just like the Brits.
the Americans are the ones that dumbed it all down.
GamerDares wins really, well, I saw a few Australians that speaked it differently, maybe it was just them, sorry for the little mistake
when you look the comments i will be there Uh huh.
Yeah! It helps me a lot.. Love u 😘💜
+English With Lucy Lucy, is this video for people who don't speak English as a native language?
+ivanduvok yes! But I have just uploaded one for natives! Check it out :)
Enes Üzel she is using British.
British isnt an accent...
Hazo yes it is, one can have a British accent. What school did you attend?
ivanduvok A British one. There is no one 'British accent' Youve got lots of different accents for every different bit of the country, I speak with a Scouse accent, theres also Cockney, Yorkshire accents, Lancashire accents, Birmingham accent, Southern accents etc, theres many many different ones.
I'm half malaysian and British and I've been saying "wed-nes-day" this whole time lmao
Actually, there are quite a few people who say "wednsday" or some form of wed-nes-day, including my grandfather, but the way she said in the video is more common
I don’t know any who pronounces it wensday, we up north say weddings day
Had to admit that i'm one of those majority of Malaysians too...
Man, i'd probably be pronouncing it wrongly till i die had it not been for this wonderful video...
@Amina Sabat memorize*
@@Cugzayhulls actually, you can spell in both ways. In American English, it's "memorize" and in British English, it's "memorise". It's that way with a few words. A lot of words in American English that have a "ze" have an "se" in British English. It's the same with "or" and "our" in words.
Interesting video. For information, "queue" is actually a french word ("Queue" /kø/, which means "tail") so that's where the english pronunciation come from.
Most beautiful teacher in World
❤️❤️❤️
2:16 (as someone who's native language is phonetic) finally an english word that sounds as is being written!
Recommended for people under the age of 10
Well, for Italians these pronunciations are not so obvious, I think this video is really helpful
This video is for people who are studying English, not for american or British people.
@@francescoocchipinti6250 Same with Spanish speakers, I realized I pronounce most of those words wrong.
@@swan98 Yeah not for British or American 🌈
Recommended for not natives! asshole 🙄
Wed-nez-day 😂 my English teacher said it wrong. I had to correct her when I was in grade two 🤣
Many of my English teachers did too! But if I tried to correct them, I would get serious ass-whooping lol
Excellent pronounciation.thank you lucy
She said:- "Fruit is my favourite food"
Me:- "Khana is my favourite food"
Lol'..🤣🤣🤣
