hi I'm Lisa welcome back to my channel there are plenty of videos like that on
the internet but pronunciation is a thing that is never enough these words
that I'm about to discuss are from just one lesson with my upper intermediate
student I decided to write down all the corrections I was making and turns out
they are very very common so let's begin the first one is theme theme this word
is very common in Russian language so Russian students try to use it all the
time but difficult pronunciation makes them sound horrible
so theme I have a video about th pronunciation it's an old one but you
can get some use out of it so if you have difficulties with this word go
there and watch it theme second one is scared it's a very simple word but for
some reason even intermediate and upper intermediate students make a mistake in
pronunciation they try to pronounce it just how it's written and that's not the
way so if you like American pronunciation it is scared scared just a
simple long sound but if you like British accent it's scared scared with
no r . next one is crisis also a simple word that people really want to use but
then they're like is it the creases or something else no it is crisis next one
is the pain of many English teachers and it is accident the word that has two c
letters and each of them is pronounced differently accident
next one is view view also very common problem the difference between V and w
sound I also have a video about it also pretty old ones but whatever so go
watch it and practice pronunciation of w and v sounds and then view that
has both of them awesome right? next one is rough has
this ough horror which is scary for everyone who doesn't know how to prononce it
it is rough the next one is jewelry I teach my students to divide this word
in two parts to pronounce it well and it is jewelry jewelry next one is
genre and yeah oh my god it is mispronounced but to be fair it is a
French word and French pronunciation is nowhere near us in British pronunciation
they really cut down on this last schwa sound they pronounce it
genre but an American pronunciation it is more like a genre . genre of
this movie is horror so amazing like theme very important one when you
discuss art in any shape or form so yeah if you like to do that it's really
useful to learn the pronunciation of theme and genre and the last one that
has been haunting me since the first day I started teaching is the word hotel I
don't know why but it's almost impossible for a russian or ukrainian
english learner to pronounce hotel correctly it's just not possible for
some reason and and I swear to god I'm gonna get a tattoo Hotel pronunciation
somewhere in my body because yeah it's a hotel wonderful word it's always hot oh
it is hotel this word can make you sound like a native speaker so much more than
any other stuff if your pronounce hotel the right way yeah so please
remember that. to check the pronunciation I recommend using online Cambridge
dictionary it always has two variants of pronounciation American English and
British English and also a cool feature you can see the level on which students
usually learn this word and how the meaning changes from level to level . well
