I've got some words for you today, all you need to do is say the words. Are you ready?
Hello and welcome to LetThemTalk. We're in the centre of Paris today near our language
school where some of our best students have voluntered to try
and pronounce some difficult English words. Here are
Now let's ask James a British friend to pronounce it correctly.
If you got it right give yourself a point
If you knew that the "B" was silent in climbing then give yourself a point.
if you pronounced vegetables with 3 syllables (veg-ta-bles) give yourself a point.
Don't pronounce the "W" it's pronounced the same way as "hole" (without a "W").
That's right clothes has one sylable but if you said "cloves" or "close" that's ok.
"Months" is difficult remember to pronounce the "s" at the end.
If you said "munce" or "mumfs" that's near enough, give yourself a point.
The "B" is silent again.
James
To help you remember think of "mistake"and "happen"
which is more or less what "mishap" means.
If you got between 0 and 4 points. It's back to school for you.
If you got between 5 and 8. You did well
but watch a few more English TV dramas to help boost your pronunciation
If you got 9 or 10 Congratulations your pronunciation is great. Put your feet up and have a cup
of tea and a chockie bikkie. You deserve it!
