Hey, how is going?
It's your favorite American English teacher Gabby
here to help you with your pronunciation
of the top ten most dangerous words in english
why are they dangerous?
because if you mispronounce them they could be very very embarrassing
so this lesson was inspired for my time in Japan when I had to give a presentation about The United States of America
and I had to talk about the population in Japanese
so the word for population in Japanese "jinkou"
is very similar to another word that I would not want to say in presentation
so if are you are Japanese or you speak Japanese
you probably know what I'm talking about
so let me describe this word
because I don't want to say the actual word because YouTube doesn't like bad words or swear words or naughty words
so I don't want Youtube to think that I have a you know bad channel
I'm just here help you learn English OK?
but it's similar to the word for a man's private parts let's say
so let me tell you one thing I'm not gonna say any offensive words in this lesson
but if you are easily offended and you don't want to know
or have any kind of descriptions of bad words then then click out go somewhere else find another English lesson but this is not the one for you
but if you're curious about how to pronounce words correctly
so that you don't say really offensive things then keep watching
we are gonna help some fun and I'm gonna help you with your pronunciation
so number 1 sheet oh look at how I smile when I say this word that's how to say safe
because if you make the vowel a short vowel here
it sounds like a bad word for the thing you do in the bathroom
the thing you make when you go to the bathroom
similarly number 2
well sorry back up number one sheet cloud be like a piece of paper a sheet of paper
or it could be a bed sheet
number 2 is cheat which is very similar to number 1 ahh cheat
like if you do not follow the rule you are cheating
you might cheat one your lover hopefully not
or you might cheat on the test hopefully not
we don't want to cheat and we don't want to mispronounce cheat
a gain look at my lovely smile when I say it
that's how to say safe
if we make about the vowel sound short it sounds like the same thing you do in the bathroom
so don't
number 3
it's a beautiful summer day you might wanna go to the beach
the beach I love the beach
do you have any recommendations for your favorite beach?
because I want to take a vacation to the beach very soon I think I need it
but if you make this vowel too short it is a very offensive word for women
so you don't want to say this especially around women
number 4 number 4 is the word focus
now we need to make this a long o focus and my jaw needs to drop focus
because if I don't say focus in this way
if the vowel sounds are too short
it sounds like a very offensive for a little word that also begins with F (fuc* us)
so be careful
focus on your pronunciation so you don't offend any one
number 5 and number 6 could both be mistaken for the same swear word
number 5 is crab you might eat crab like fried crab
or crab umm I don't know how do you eat crab it's been a long time sine I've eaten crab
but if you do not pronounce that B correctly
and you make the B a P with is something that a lot of Arabic speakers might do by accident
you end up with a swear word
also the same thing you do in the bathroom but you just another way to say it
number 6 is actually something that I really like ahh it's something from France
you might go out to breakfast or lunch and eat crepes crepes
so the pronunciation is slightly different than French
because we Americanize it
but crepe needs to have that A vowel sound
if it's shorter it also sounds that like that thing you do in the bathroom
definitely don't want to have any of those things for your next meal
number 7 French speakers listen up happiness happiness we have to make that H sound
other way you might shock your conversation partner
if you say something like all I want in life is "a p*nis"
similarly number 8 Thai speakers and some other languages
if you like peanuts in your recipes listen up how do you make "Pad Thai" what's the key ingredient well it's peanuts
make sure you have that "TS" at the end because if you don't it could sound like that same thing that I just talked about
peanuts ts excellent nobody wants a man's private parts in their "Pad Thai"
number 9 an animal, a very regal, majestic animal should not be offensive
a horse make sure that you make the s sound and not a z
because if you make it a z sound going to sound like very offensive word for a woman
and finally I've saved the best for last number 10 is coke
I remember I had a French speaking student in one of my English classes
and we are talking about our favorite things to drink and she said her favorite thing was a Coke
accept she said the vowel sounds a little bit wrong a little bit too short
and again this is a slang word for a man's private parts
so make sure that you say cooooke oooo coke
we are taking about to drink otherwise we could be very embarrassing
so I hope you enjoyed this lesson it's all about dangerous words I hope that you had fun watching
and that they will save you from future possible embarrassment
but you know what if you make a mistake that is one of the best things you could do for you English learning
because if you do make a mistake and you feel embarrassed I guarantee you will never forget how to say that word correctly again
