Commonly confused words.

You will, maybe, mix up words.

These words are very close in meaning, but they're actually different.

My name's Ronnie.

I'm going to help you figure out some four, six words that are confusing in English,

and you think maybe they're even the same word they are

not the same word they are different they have different meanings don't ever get them wrong again okay

so commonly confused words the first one is fun

and you confuse this with funny and I say what's the difference between fun

and funny and you say oh oh I know fun is an adjective.

It's the police again.

They've come to get me.

We're having too much fun.

And I say, well, if fun is an adjective, what kind of word is funny then?

And you go, oh, it's an adjective too.

So what's the difference?

The difference is fun means you are having a great, great time doing something.

You are having fun.

It's great.

Maybe you are drinking.

Maybe you are watching English videos.

Maybe you're studying.

I really wouldn't think that studying would be fun, but learning on the internet is fun.

Then we have funny.

Funny funny means it makes you laugh.

If something is funny, you will laugh.

A lot of people say, I went to Disneyland and it was funny.

Oh, why?

What happened?

I went on rollercoaster.

Okay, but a roller coaster is not funny.

If I went to an amusement park, I wouldn't look at a roller coaster and go, ah!

What, what, what?

Look at it, it's a roller coaster, it's funny.

No, you would go on the roller coaster and go, woohoo, it is fun. So, difference.

Fun means, basically, a good time, I'm having a good time,

versus funny, it makes you laugh.

This word looks like la -ha -ha -g, but the pronunciation is actually laugh laugh.

Fun means it's a good time, like at a party.

Funny means it makes you laugh.

You can have both together.

You can go to a party.

The party can be super fun, and someone at the party could be funny.

Maybe there's a clown.

Clowns can be funny.

Next one is surprise surprise versus shock.

I hear a lot of people say,

for example, I went home last night and I saw my mom and my dad naked.

I was surprised.

Are you having a party?

You're getting out the camera.

Hi, mom.

Hi, dad.

What's up?

No, no, no, no. You were not surprised.

Surprise.

You were scarred for life.

You were in shock or in the past tense, you were shocked.

You weren't happy about something.

You were shocked.

So surprise, we always use for a positive event.

For example, For example, if you bought a lottery ticket and you won, surprise, you have a million dollars.

Cool, compared to shocking news.

Let's say that you just got a phone call

that your friend is in the hospital because they got hit by a donkey.

Surprise, your friend got hit by a donkey.

No. I'm shocked.

My friend got hit by a donkey.

Surprise is always positive.

Shocked is always a bad thing or a negative situation.

On to the last one.

Famous versus...

popular.

These are very similar in meaning, but, again, different.

Famous means many people know you, or know someone.

So if you look at an example, you can take any president of the United States of America.

I would wager a bet any president or prime minister in the world, most people would know their name.

So, if I took the president of Canada, we don't have a president of Canada.

If I took the prime minister of Canada, no, I don't want to take him.

If we took the president of America, if we took George W.

Bush, the past president of America, most people have heard of the word Bush before.

George W.

Bush, but many people know this name.

Many people know the name Bush.

Popular.

Do you like George Bush?

George W.

Bush?

I'm sorry.

George W.

Bush was very, very famous, but he was not popular.

Popular means many people actually like someone.

So, people who are popular,

they don't have to have a lot of people that know who they are, but they have to have a couple people who actually like them.

Another example of someone who is famous, but not popular, again, it's all about the government,

isn't it, would be the famous but much -hated Hitler.

Everyone knows who Hitler is.

I hope people don't like Hitler, come on, really, this guy's terrible.

So, Hitler is famous, but not popular.

100

Maybe when you were in high school, there was the popular boy.

101

Oh, you talk like this, he was so popular, okay?

102

Or there was the popular girl.

103

People liked the popular boy or the popular girl, but if you went to a different school and you said, hey, do you know Benny,

104

the guy that talks like this?

105

People go, no, I don't know Benny.

106

Benny is well -liked or popular at your school, but many people don't know who he is.

107

Famous, popular.

108

Surprise, shock.

109

Fun, funny.

110

That's all for now.

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
