And today we are going to look at some words people have difficulty pronouncing, but they're actually quite easy to do.

So the words we're going to look at today are answer,

island, bought, Wednesday, honest, angry,

hungry, clothes, February, and climb.

And we might look at a couple bonus words after.

So let's get to it and learn how to actually pronounce these words.

Here is a word that it's so easy to mispronounce.

The word is answer.

Answer is a very, very common English word.

We use it in everyday English.

So why do people make a mistake with this word?

Well, it's because of the spelling.

The W here tricks people.

people see the w

and they pronounce it like answer oh i answered the question

well the w is actually silent you do not pronounce the w so the correct pronunciation is very simple

an sir what is the answer so just forget the w and then you'll be able to pronounce this correctly answer.

So let's practice this in some sentences.

So repeat after me.

Let's answer the question.

And notice I'm saying the first part louder.

Let's answer the question.

So I'm putting more stress on the first part of this answer.

What's your answer?

Teachers love to ask these types of questions.

What's the answer?

So you can repeat after me.

Answer.

What's the answer?

And we also use this when we're talking about telephones.

So when the telephone is ringing, you might ask somebody to answer the phone.

So you see, it's a very easy pronunciation.

As long as you remember, don't pronounce the W.

The next word that is very hard for people to pronounce is the word bought.

So bought is a very common word in English.

It's the past tense of the word by.

So if I'm talking about now, I use by.

But if I'm talking about the past, like last week, last month, last year, I would use bought.

Now the reason people have trouble with this word is again because of the weird spelling.

This gh confuses people a lot.

So the ugh, people see that and they try to pronounce it.

This is actually silent.

So you do not have to pronounce the u, the g, or the h.

Ignore that.

So sometimes I've heard students say bought, you know, I bought it.

And the mistake they're making is they're trying to pronounce these silent sounds.

You don't have to pronounce them.

Just think of the word bought, B-O-T.

So this is not the spelling, but this is how we pronounce it.

If you can say the word robot, bought, it's the same pronunciation.

So let's practice this word.

I bought the book.

I bought the book. Who bought that?

Who bought that?

And she bought a cat.

She bought a cat.

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,

it can be a little bit more difficult to say it, so it's good practice.

So, very simple tip.

Just don't pronounce the UGH.

Just say bought.

I've had many students who have made a mistake with this word.

The word is island.

Island.

So what do some students say by mistake?

Well, I commonly hear Iceland or Island.

Island, Iceland.

The issue many learners have with this word is that they pronounce the S.

This S is silent.

You do not need to pronounce the S in island.

So if you if we remove the S, the pronunciation is more like island, the island.

So you can say island, island, depending on your accent.

The most important thing is to get rid of the S pronunciation.

So let's do this together let's say some sentences.

I want to travel to an island.

Notice there's no s sound.

I want to travel to an island.

It's a beautiful island.

Toronto Island is a great place for biking.

So I'm from Toronto.

Toronto has an island.

It has a few islands and it's the islands of Toronto are great places for nature, picnics, and biking.

The next word that many people have trouble pronouncing is the word honest.

So honest is difficult because of this h.

The h is silent.

We do not pronounce the h.

So instead we actually say honest.

So get rid of the h and you can pronounce this word correctly. So, listen carefully.

I honestly believe this.

What I hear a lot of people say is honestly.

They have that H sound, but you do not need an H sound when you say the word honest.

The H is silent.

We do not say the H.

He is honest.

Honest.

That's my honest answer.

So, try to say this word, and it might be hard because a lot of people really, really want to say the H.

They really want to say honestly speaking, but no, no H.

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

So thank you so much for watching today.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?

Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
