Here is Part Two - 10 more words that native speakers commonly mispronounce. ruclips.net/video/LAb_r9gmrYw/видео.html
Btw, I thihk it would be cool if you made a video about "malapropisms". They are a big problem. And, you could also tell people how the term came about. There is a classic play that includes a "Mrs. Malaprop". Ibsen? I can't remember.
Anyway, I hear malapropisms daily. Just think it would be an interesting video and right up your alley.
And, btw, isn't "malapropism" a GREAT word? I've loved it ever since I learned it which was decades ago.
Correction "ENGLISH is a LANGUAGE, not a MEASUREMENT of INTELLIGENCE" so if you don't speak English your not intelligent? Is that what want to say?
Isn't the correct form: "Be careful whom you imitate:"? - the pronoun is objective case.
I thought, incorrectly, that Madam Malaprop was Moliere's character, but apparently it was Sheridan's 1775 play 'The Rivals' where Mrs, Malaprop added comic interest.
You're an amazing teacher! Much love from Brazil 😘😘
I love this girllllll from Jamaica . she is not afraid of mistakes and willing to correct them immediately
Nice virtue to have
She's beautiful too. Those cheekbones though!
I agree with both of you! 😊
I don't think a foreign accent is necessarily a mistake. However if you're an actor it would be a good thing to be able to change your accent for a certain role.
I happen to love the melodic Jamaican accent.
People messing “could have” up and typing “could of” hurts me internally
I agree. They coolduff AND shoolduff known better!
see a surgeon
Omg same. Pancreatic pain lol
Same. It's just so painful to watch.
Different to vs different from 😖
Keturah is so charismatic and pretty. It's good for learning to hear how a regular person pronounces words and then hear the difference.
Even the auto-generated translator can't differentiate silicone and silicon
Number 8: strengths.
I had no difficulty with this word until I had to get full dentures. Now it's virtually impossible for me, so I just avoid it.
Now I say "strong points" instead.
Clever!
Knocks those teeth out, huh?
Just say strengts!
good one
lmao i have a lisp so i relate
"Silicon" is the name of the element "Si" (the atom itself) and the name of the metal (which is made of Si atoms only).
Dang it!
When I thought that I was good at English pronunciation,the lady just killed my confidence 🤣
Same😅
Some pronunciations differ based on whether you learn British received English or American English. Same for spellings too. As a Jamaican in my late 40s we really were taught British English in prep school but then had to also learn American variations in high school because of how closely we interact with America as a nation, and because of the need to sit US exams like SAT. It's confusing sometimes. Also Jamaican patois facilitates some pronunciations that are characteristic of the dialect..
The Jamaican lady pronounced mischievous correctly. She sounds very well educated and her accent is infinitely more pleasant to my ears, than the American lady.
@@crankyoldperson6871 How is, "vous" vee-us? "Mis-chuh-vus" is correct. Sorry. You say it however you like, though. Language is personal, after all, just like handwriting.
Good point!
Vitamins vs vetamins & etc r vowels diff.
@@spicyirwin5835 Vetah, vitah, vegemin!
The kid across the street when I was growing up would pronounce "etc." as "Excedrin".
Finally, I can say that you're my best teacher. We do love you
English is not my first language, but I speak it semi-fluently. We have english classes at school but I honed my english speaking skills and vocabulary through reading books. I usually read alone as a kid so I try my best to pronounce an unknown word by myself, which I usually get wrong. Today, I learned that the word mischievous is pronounced as mis-chi-vus and not mi-shi-vus. All my life I thought it was pronounced that way but thanks to videos like these, I learn more about them.
MashaAllah, Excellent presentation,God Bless you and your entire team for this Noble Work, Amen.
SIR the subject English is tuff but
If we follow it through our professional teacher it may be
Easy for we the beginners. Right
Prounounciation may bring crown
For ourselves.thanks to my foreign
Teacher madam. Jai sri krishan
It’s alright. Most of us butcher pronunciations anyways.
I was born in Argentina 🇦🇷and I’ve been living in New York City for the last 30 years 🗽 I’m also a registered surgical nurse 🧑🏽⚕️so I talk to lots of people at work 😊
I’ve had mispronounced 9 out of 10 of this words 😅
I found your channel by chance and I love the way you teach. Thank you Lisa for sharing your knowledge 😊❤
wow, i am dreaming about New York. Is it worth it?
I'm a native English speaker with a higher education degree and I learned a few things today.
Yes. I did as well.
I learned that this lady has a bizarre cadence to her speech. I can only guess she is using extreme emphasis to assist English learners.
Yes, I am speaking extra clearly so that English learners would understand. In this video, it's more exaggerated than I generally aim for.
This video helps a lot.
I am not native and my whole life learn english literature but I did mistake lol. thanks this is a brilliant
Thanks for excellent lesson. I'm from Russia and I'm 14,this is quite interesting for me :)
Sorry for poor grammar I'm just studying
Fail
Your grammar is actually very good
Almost perfect. Keep it up! Most native speakers are quite forgiving. We do use the article “the” more often in English, so we have the opposite issue with languages that don’t. It’s all good. The goal is understanding.
Petit fantôme, your English is perfect. Well done
I had a friend from Russia who would often apologize for her grammar and pronunciation. But it was perfect! I would tell her that she wrote and spoke English better than many Americans do.
You are one of the best teachers I have discovered on RUclips. You are simple, to the point and gracious 🍀
Thanks.
Thank you! 😃
I hate it when people say anyways, grates on my nerves, shows lack of education (in my opinion)😵💫😵💫😵💫
I really thank all the wonderful good people from all walks of life who taught to speak English, in Morocco, Spain, iran,Pakistan ,Alaska and usa : ny, nh,Maine Kansas and California....i had trouble with ing and the but forged ahead and did very well mastering American english but weaknesses linger still to this day 60 years later.
I’m not a native English speaker but I know all of the pronunciation of all the words. Thank you to my English teacher 👩🏫 who taught me well. Thank you for this great video!
Formal education what we have learned is from school and in the book. English has its Rules, the Book. License teachers and Masters who have a degree in teaching will perfectly teach their student regardless what ethnicity or what part of regions they came from. American is very interesting. America is diverse. I don't speak any language until I am 15 Years old. My vocal cord has no sound. I whispered when I speak; I spoke in head. Good Luck everyone. We are great and grateful, Thanks to all School Teachers and Professor. Never forget them. They guided student to write Essay to pass the exam on the paper, able to do it. I Love K Lo ! Good job !! Great success.
WE LEARNED FROM OLD FASHIONED BOOKS AND TOUGH TEACHERS OLD SCHOOL IM ALMOST 60 IM NOT TRYING TO BE PERFECT NOW BUT IF I HAD TO I WOULD LOL
I like what you say about being careful about who you imitate to learn your language. I'm studying Japanese, and many people that study the language watch a lot of anime where the speaking style is not only overdramatized, but the language is much more casual and would be considered impolite in a normal conversation where attention to whom you are speaking and the level of respect is important. I'm opting to tune in to Japanese language news stations where a "standard" accent and pronunciation are spoken.
Kind of my " Pride and Prejudice". That's the book to learn English from!!!
Me too thats why I tune into NHK WORLD a lot
Pilar Quiroz as long as you’re prepared to get some funny reactions after you use 19th century vocabulary/grammar in everyday conversation, you do you!
@@ironflowers977 hahaha. Yes.. it's funny when I say "you were engaged somewhere else" or " the latter" or "He is a very undeserving young man".. The one that I use a lot is :"I would be only too happy to oblige you". I work in customer service and I only use it with older customers, nevertheless, i hope they read it too. I love the way it sounds and it perfectly expresses my willingness to help!!
@@pilarquiroz3585 - wooow, I like these sentences because they sound very elegant :D
I've been learning so many things from your lessons, Lisa. The first person to teach me how to stress and/or reduce words properly was you. I've been studying english since 2005, all by myself, and I've been learning a new thing everyday with you. Thank you so much, and regards from Brazil.
Thank you madam , your way of teaching phonetics is simple to understand and practise, especially for the pause required in a sentence enabling others to grasp without losing content. English language is melodious if we follow stress, pause , rhythm etc.
How do you say cheese that doesn't belong to you?
"Nacho cheese…"
"Wrong!!! It's 'Not your cheese'"
😄😄
😸😹
infg3570 heheheheeee gimme another one? I need to laugh.
Ya, I mean that sincerely bc right now everything in my life is goin to hades in a hand-basket, I’m trippin.
Wait, is this real life?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@T0ldja I'm tapped but hang in there. Things WILL get better!
This is my first-time drop in your channel accidentally. I gotta say, your speaking flow, pronunciation, and accent stress are so perfect for English speaking learners I have ever seen. It is pleasant to watch your video and truly learned lessons from you!
I loved her, she looks not only gorgeous but also humble and and easygoing
I grew up in the UK and emigrated to the US at age 10. I'm 56 now, but still get busted on some of these! Even after almost 40 yrs of living in the Southern US a bartender in Connecticut called me out. Good video!
This video was in my recommended and I’m glad it was :) very informative , well explained and definitely worth watching:) also Keturah is so beautiful!!
Hello laudine.
How are you feeling today I hope your day is as bright as your pretty smile today.
Offcourse dear
Dear i want be a your friend ! pls do accept me🙋♂️
This videos are really helping me, because they couldn’t more straightforward, although it explains very difficult content in a very easy way, I never thought I could have access such a great material on RUclips.
This videos? You mean "these" videos, right?
.
I like this video very much.Your way of teaching the pronunciation is very nice.I can understand your speech in english.Your way looks beautiful like a woman who follows moral values of her life.
It is very helpful, especially for non-native English speakers. Lisa Mam's deliberation is excellent.
I love the way you guide us improve our English. Bravo Lisa! Thanks.
I’m British I’m already a native speaker I’m just here cause it’s a peaceful video😂
@Brenda Schlitting Not really a native speaker as you speak an offshoot of English.
You may be British born... but one can speak cockney english vs RP english ( as in Queen's english) which many aspire to emulate
The Queen's English is not RP, she is a tosh.
@@anitaleo5551 The Queen’s English is definitely not RP or Received Pronunciation. The royals have an accent of their own. There are many regional accents in England , not only cockney, just as there are many regional accents in the US. Received Pronunciation is the standard British accent.
Sure you are "already" a native speaker. All natives don't speak or write correctly.
Try to write a few sentences about yourself, you will then realise that your nativity mean nothing.
A cordial greeting from Costa Rica! I understand English because I read a lot, but I'm afraid to speak it because my pronunciation is not very good. Thanks for your videos, now I practice more with your help.
I am an Indian, from the state Kerala. I am proud to say that I have gained the knowledge of how to communicate in essential situations. Your class aldo helped me a lot. Thanks a lot 🙏
As a former English teacher, I found this video very entertaining and wish I would have had access to it when I was still teaching. The lady presenting the information is so clear and precise. I liked her.
To A Michaelis: You made a big grammatical error in your first sentence.
@@gfitz6001 lol!
@@gfitz6001 I noticed!
@@wolfhound1452 It's not funny. Why haven't you corrected it? It makes your claim that you are "a former English teacher" highly suspect.
I wish I had had access …
I love this lesson and I was talking after you all the time. Thank you! Your are my favorite English teacher from now on.
May be confused by many non-native speakers. Your presentation is awesome
hi 👋😊 Lisa,, thanks a lot teaching us,, I'm from Mozambique many years learning Portuguese but from today on I'm trying my best writing English
Simply what I needed and just what the doctor ordered! Thank you
As a foreigner coming to the USA late in life, your classes have been so helpful. Thank you so much! By the way, the word “foreigner” is one of the many other challenging words for me to pronounce.
... to the USA late in life, I have found your classes to be so helpful.
@@josehonoridez1085 you, too? 🙄
Forra’nuh. Emphasis on the first syllable.
FOR in er
For-rin-ner
You are the best teacher ever. Thank you so much for being such a great thing for me 🙂
I am a native English speaker and a lot of these words listed I have been mispronouncing forever. Great review!
I’m a native English speaker and I only mispronounced one of these but it’s good you not only pronounced them but also gave the reasons such as the sentence and also the definition.
Ironically, the one word that caught me off guard was pronunciation. I always did feel a bit weird saying "pronounciation," now I know.
Same
I need to repeat for several time.
ruclips.net/p/PL08B4I0FI2n1kxmg_cbHVUZ1NvUjrKiEM

Ikr? I shouted "WHAT?" XD
Your student employed an associated rhythm, which is a great aid/tool in the development of learning skills .
Thanks for sharing . . .
Thanks God my english teacher in the Philippines taught me well, i pronounce it all correctly. I like your videos, it's educational and fun as well.
I'm happy I found your channel because I struggle with words that sound similar. Thank you for your time!
That's this kind of exercise we need to improve our pronunciation.
Such an impressive lesson. I don't know how to pronounce some of those words. Thanks for teaching. Greetings from Korea 🇰🇷
?
I learned a lot when i was listening to your video Ma'am it enhance my confidence to improve my pronunciation in english. Keep doing in teaching so you can help so many people to speak well in pronunciation in english.
The one that drives me nuts is when people say 'pacific' instead of 'specific'! As in 'I had a very pacific reason'. What? Because of an OCEAN?!
Haha
Lol
This is a common mispronouncation by people who have dyslexia.
😂😂😂
For real?
Et Cetera are two latin words....."et" means AND...."Cetera" means THE REST. (4 years of Latin in HS now paying off ! Lol)
Learning Italian would be a piece of cake for you!
Did you learn from Caecilius lmao
Thanks for He a that information. Very helpful!
People who abbreviate it as ect irk me... it is etc.
@@msr1116 Italian, French, Romanian, Spanish or Portuguese.
Our English teacher from the other side of the world taught us correct, excellent English!!
thank you Lisa and your guest because watching her makes me feel more comfortable while learning english like a kid
I like this class which does help me to improve my vocabulary and pronunciation a lot. Thank you lisa.
Keep teaching for us. So so many regular Americans need this help!
This lady is a treasure. Thank you.
Great lesson as always! Thank you so much!!
This is great platform to learn these words, specially if you're from a Non-English speaking background.
You've done a great job,I 've learned a lot from you, thanks!
Dziękuję bardzo pani za wspaniałe lekcje. Mój angielski jest coraz lepszy i mam dzięki pani dużo więcej motywacji i ochoty , żeby mówić wreszcie płynnie po angielsku tak samo jak w moim rodzimym języku. Best regards from Poland. Margaret. Noculka- Akinwale
I would have supposed Polish uses the Cyrillic alphabet like other Slavic languages. Does it?
@@michaelwoods4495 No, in Poland we use the Latin alphabet. Cyrillic alphabet is used in Eastern Europe and is typical for the Orthodox Church followers...
I don"t speak spanish.
I appreciate this lesson.
I have been told many times I speak very well. I did not know how wrong they were until I watched your video. I am making adjustments.
Thank you, Lisa. It appears I've been making mistakes at some of the words, though I was sure I'd got it right because I had learned it from native speech.
I love the learning actress in this lesson in addition to the knowledge. she is open-minded.
Great content.. delivered perfectly .. no drama, no fuss... 😊😊
One of my inspiring teachers.. A heart-felt gratitude is always felt within madam, whenever i listen to your lessons... its connecting me to you from my country, India Madam... Thanks a lot...
Amazing as usual ... very nice and great lecture. Thanks Mrs. Lisa.
Appreciated.
OMG! All my life i used to say etc.(its’etra) and I was pretty sure that my pronunciation was right! Thank you, Mrs Lisa! You are priceless teacher not only for all your subscribers!
Your way of teaching is excellent. .Your smile while speaking adds to your lessons even more interesting 👏👏👏
I really like watching your videos coz I'm not only learning how to pronounce the words but also learning what is the meaning.. coz she explained it well... Thank you so much
Your lessons are enjoyable and enlightening. Thank you.
An eye opener indeed! Very well presented!
me, who has an obsession with Loki, the god of mischief: what's so hard about pronouncing mischievous correctly?
Loki is my favourite god in that pantheon.
@ Kitty : It should be easy. But I think the "ie" throws people off. (Unlike in most words, it's not pronounced "ee" here. In "mischievous, the "ie" is an unstressed vowel sound [ə]. It would be easier if it were spelled mischivous or mischevous.)
Also, there is a strong analogue in the word "devious", which I'm sure misleads many people and contributes to the mispronunciation of "mischievous".
Many people misread the words.
I realy like this friendly, humble and knowledgeable teacher💖
It's always good to make learning fun, that way it's help people to understand better. I like that kinda of learning.
Thanks a lot for your useful help and advice!!!! I'm so excited!!!!
I thank you more than I can say for teaching me correct pronunciations in English.
This is really helpful to me since I prefer to vlog in English though I am a Filipina (Philippines).

Hello pherl.
How are you feeling today I hope your day is as bright as your pretty smile today.
I fell in love with this lesson, you are clearly one of the best teachers in RUclips land.
There are some others & they are teaching a lot of wrong things, just for that I think they deserve to be in the bonfire 🔥
Lesson is short and simple. Great for new comer to this country. Thank you very much
I would like to learn more about incorrect use of English language in a written form. Perfect professional woman to teach it. I enjoy your teaching style very much!
This excellent lesson just shows me that I forgot a lot of things what I've learned from school, I always felt I need to go back and study again because I love learning, it's fun. Good thing we have teacher Lisa in youtube, thank you so much.
Professor Lisa and her student reflect that learning English is both: discipline and fun, in a way that can be magical, just to share a good time.
Thank you. 💛💙❤
Thank you Ana.
Very helpful, useful and entertaining
So helpful. Thanks.
Thank you for this enlightening video! Learned so much!
Absolutely lovely! I was quite pleased that I had all the pronunciations correct there was a bit of concerned with strengths. My G was there but probably not as strong as it should have been thank you so much👍🙏😘
I'm Somalian who is among your students, I really appreciate for your endless important lessons thanks keep on
In "silicon", the "o" is generally pronounced as a schwa in both standard BrE and standard AmE. (See Cambridge or Macmillan.)
Thank you for your lesson. It helps me a lot. Best wishes for you.
This lesson is great. I have learned a lot. Thanks.
You are fantastic! Thank you so much!
Thank you for posting this helpful word pronunciation tutorial!
OMG! I am SO glad that "et cetera" and "jewelry" were included. Hearing people mispronounce these ALL the time drives me secretly crazy!
