    Slight changes for British English (ignore if you are studying US English):
    In most dialects of British English, “Minute” does not exhibit yod-dropping (the dropping of a /j/ consonant when written with a ; /maɪˈnjuːt/.
    Minute in general is quite rare in British English, only really existing in common phrases.
    Might be other things but it’s 6am leave me alone.

      @ Warren Buffett has one of the best quotes about learning from mistakes, “It’s good to learn from your mistakes. It’s better to learn from other people’s mistakes.”

    I request you to clear my doubt .What are collocation exactly?

    • @Todd_OutstandingEnglish

      Collocations are pairs or groups of words that commonly appear together in English. For example, we say "fast food" instead of "quick food," or "make a mistake" instead of "do a mistake." These word combinations sound natural to native speakers.

    The original video struck me as wrong, but I could not put my finger on it.
    Isn't see a native speaker?

      No, I believe she is Eastern European judging from her accent. Their channel has videos that contain some really basic mistakes that could've been avoided by simply googling accurate information before presenting it.
