1
And today we are going to look at some words people have difficulty pronouncing, but they're actually quite easy to do.
2
So the words we're going to look at today are answer,
3
island, bought, Wednesday, honest, angry,
4
hungry, clothes, February, and climb.
5
And we might look at a couple bonus words after.
6
So let's get to it and learn how to actually pronounce these words.
7
Here is a word that it's so easy to mispronounce.
8
The word is answer.
9
Answer is a very, very common English word.
10
We use it in everyday English.
11
So why do people make a mistake with this word?
12
Well, it's because of the spelling.
13
The W here tricks people.
14
people see the w
15
and they pronounce it like answer oh i answered the question
16
well the w is actually silent you do not pronounce the w so the correct pronunciation is very simple
17
an sir what is the answer so just forget the w and then you'll be able to pronounce this correctly answer.
18
So let's practice this in some sentences.
19
So repeat after me.
20
Let's answer the question.
21
And notice I'm saying the first part louder.
22
Let's answer the question.
23
So I'm putting more stress on the first part of this answer.
24
What's your answer?
25
Teachers love to ask these types of questions.
26
What's the answer?
27
So you can repeat after me.
28
Answer.
29
What's the answer?
30
And we also use this when we're talking about telephones.
31
So when the telephone is ringing, you might ask somebody to answer the phone.
32
So you see, it's a very easy pronunciation.
33
As long as you remember, don't pronounce the W.
34
The next word that is very hard for people to pronounce is the word bought.
35
So bought is a very common word in English.
36
It's the past tense of the word by.
37
So if I'm talking about now, I use by.
38
But if I'm talking about the past, like last week, last month, last year, I would use bought.
39
Now the reason people have trouble with this word is again because of the weird spelling.
40
This gh confuses people a lot.
41
So the ugh, people see that and they try to pronounce it.
42
This is actually silent.
43
So you do not have to pronounce the u, the g, or the h.
44
Ignore that.
45
So sometimes I've heard students say bought, you know, I bought it.
46
And the mistake they're making is they're trying to pronounce these silent sounds.
47
You don't have to pronounce them.
48
Just think of the word bought, B-O-T.
49
So this is not the spelling, but this is how we pronounce it.
50
If you can say the word robot, bought, it's the same pronunciation.
51
So let's practice this word.
52
I bought the book.
53
I bought the book. Who bought that?
54
Who bought that?
55
And she bought a cat.
56
She bought a cat.
57
So, when you're practicing pronunciation of words, it's always good to say the word on its own, but then to try it in a sentence, because when you say a word in a sentence,
58
it can be a little bit more difficult to say it, so it's good practice.
59
So, very simple tip.
60
Just don't pronounce the UGH.
61
Just say bought.
62
I've had many students who have made a mistake with this word.
63
The word is island.
64
Island.
65
So what do some students say by mistake?
66
Well, I commonly hear Iceland or Island.
67
Island, Iceland.
68
The issue many learners have with this word is that they pronounce the S.
69
This S is silent.
70
You do not need to pronounce the S in island.
71
So if you if we remove the S, the pronunciation is more like island, the island.
72
So you can say island, island, depending on your accent.
73
The most important thing is to get rid of the S pronunciation.
74
So let's do this together let's say some sentences.
75
I want to travel to an island.
76
Notice there's no s sound.
77
I want to travel to an island.
78
It's a beautiful island.
79
Toronto Island is a great place for biking.
80
So I'm from Toronto.
81
Toronto has an island.
82
It has a few islands and it's the islands of Toronto are great places for nature, picnics, and biking.
83
The next word that many people have trouble pronouncing is the word honest.
84
So honest is difficult because of this h.
85
The h is silent.
86
We do not pronounce the h.
87
So instead we actually say honest.
88
So get rid of the h and you can pronounce this word correctly. So, listen carefully.
89
I honestly believe this.
90
What I hear a lot of people say is honestly.
91
They have that H sound, but you do not need an H sound when you say the word honest.
92
The H is silent.
93
We do not say the H.
94
He is honest.
95
Honest.
96
That's my honest answer.
97
So, try to say this word, and it might be hard because a lot of people really, really want to say the H.
98
They really want to say honestly speaking, but no, no H.
99
Just start with the O.
100
Honest.
101
The next two words learners often make mistakes with,
102
and sometimes they confuse the pronunciation because these words sound somewhat similar.
103
The words are angry and hungry.
104
So what are some of the mistakes I hear people make with these words?
105
Well sometimes with angry which means to be mad sometimes people will add an h sound so they'll say hungry,
106
hungry, I'm so hungry right now.
107
So there is a word in English hangry which means hangry
108
or it means angry plus hungry when you're mad because you're hungry.
109
But we won't talk about that one today.
110
For now, we're just going to focus on angry, meaning mad, and hungry, meaning you want to eat.
111
So as i mentioned people sometimes add an h to angry
112
and then with the word hungry they sometimes forget the h there's also a difference in the vowel sounds here
113
so listen carefully angry notice my mouth really gets big angry and hungry So,
114
let's practice the correct pronunciation.
115
Oh, I made a mistake here.
116
I angry.
117
What did I forget?
118
I'm. So, angry.
119
There's no H.
120
Angry.
121
And if you really have a hard time saying angry, and you notice you make mistakes with this a lot.
122
An alternative is just don't use it.
123
Use the word mad.
124
Mad is easier to pronounce and it has the same meaning.
125
I'm so mad.
126
I'm so angry.
127
Mad is easier to pronounce.
128
Now for the word hungry, you really need that sound, that H sound.
129
So there should be a lot of air at the beginning of this word, hungry.
130
So, the main thing here, remember to pronounce the H.
131
Honest, there's no H sound.
132
Hungry, there is an H sound.
133
So, let's practice these words.
134
I'm angry.
135
He's angry.
136
Are you hungry?
137
I'm hungry.
138
The next word is, this one actually is a little bit more challenging.
139
The word is close.
140
So this is a hard word to pronounce because of the th and there's a z sound at the end.
141
So the spelling is a little bit different than the actual pronunciation
142
because again the s sounds like a zed or a z
143
if you're in the u.s
144
so what i often hear people do is they break up the word
145
and they say clothes clothes clothes i like your clothes those
146
so that's one mistake i hear so it's one syllable and again there's a z at the end clothes.
147
I like to do this trick because I think that it can actually help your pronunciation.
148
So you start at the top with a K sound.
149
Clothes.
150
And I'm even going to get rid of this H.
151
The clothes.
152
I think that can help you with your pronunciation for this word. Where are the clothes?
153
Did you put the clothes in the bag?
154
I like your clothes.
155
So again, this is a hard word, but it's possible to do, especially if you remember that there is a Zed at the end.
156
So the next word is a very important word because it's one of the days of the week.
157
The word is Wednesday.
158
It's also the name of a character in the Addams family.
159
So Wednesday, it's a common mistake learners might make.
160
They might actually pronounce it as Wednesday.
161
So they might give it three syllables Wednesday instead of two Wednesday.
162
So the reason this is hard is because of this D.
163
A lot of people want to say the D wed Wednesday but you don't have to say the D.
164
You can just say without the d, Wednesday.
165
Wednesday.
166
So try that Wednesday.
167
I work on Wednesday.
168
I'm busy on Wednesday.
169
It's Wednesday.
170
So again, very simple.
171
Once you know to get rid to the D.
172
It's a very easy word to pronounce.
173
The next word is also important because it's one of the months in the year and it is the word February.
174
February is difficult.
175
Many people make mistakes because of this R.
176
They'll say February, but the R is silent.
177
You do not need to say the R, so instead you can pronounce it Feb-bu-ay-ry.
178
February.
179
Forget the R.
180
February is a cold month, so again I am not pronouncing the R.
181
Feb-bu-ay-ry.
182
Her birthday is in February.
183
So once you know you don't need to pronounce the R, this word becomes a lot easier to pronounce.
184
The last word I want to teach you is the word climb.
185
So we use climb a lot because we climb the stairs.
186
People like to go climbing like mountain climbing or there's different ways to use this word.
187
A common mistake is that people might pronounce the b at the end.
188
The b is silent so this is actually a very easy word to pronounce as long as you remember no b.
189
So you can pronounce it climb i climbed the sea
190
and tower i climbed a tower in uh paris i climbed the eiffel tower uh
191
so that's how you would use that
192
so again here's the word without the b that's how you
193
pronounce it climb this can be still a little bit difficult
194
because the cl together can be hard for some people learning English.
195
So if you're having trouble with the CL, slow it down and just start with a c-c-l, climb.
196
Sometimes just going slow can help with the pronunciation.
197
So let's look at some sentences.
198
I like climbing.
199
She climbs mountains.
200
I get tired climbing the stairs.
201
So again, with the B, you just don't pronounce it, and when you remove the B,
202
you'll see that this is actually quite an easy word to pronounce.
203
Now, there are some other words that are like the word climb, where they end with an MB.
204
So numb is an example, and dumb is an example.
205
So, again, just don't pronounce the B for these words.
206
Numb, dumb, climb.
207
When you see M-B together, the B is usually silent.
208
So, we've covered some different words that are actually quite easy to pronounce as long as you realize which sounds are silent.
209
So, I hope that you've learned something today, and I hope that you try to use these correct pronunciations in your everyday English.
210
We use these words a lot, so this can be really helpful for improving your conversation.
211

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
