Welcome to this class. This is the 10 most

often mispronounced words in the English language.

Maybe not the most mispronounced, but

certainly ones that are 'well' mispronounced

So some people also asked, what is this this?

This is a shotgun microphone. This thing

is a wind cover that doesn't really work. So,

now that we got that cleared up. Let's do the first example:

"information," information

in-

fur-me-shn

in-fur-me-shn

common mispronunciation

is to say this 'i'

as een-formation

een-formation like a Spanish

speaking or even certain

European dialects like some Russian and maybe Turkish or whatever

Korean, Japanese, they would make this

'i' as a 'e' so een-formation

wrong eh 'eh'nformation

Let's do another example, "into"

not "ennto," "eento,"

wrong. 'eh' 'eh'nto

'ee' 'een'to eh

ee eh ee

information 'een'formation

information 'een'formation slight difference but it makes

a huge difference if you want to sound perfect so

next one: the "internet"

not 'een'ternet

'eh' 'eh'nternet. That was example 1

Let's erase. Teacher Phil why don't you use a whiteboard?

because I like blackboards because its

classic and the white board has a xylene

in um markers that smells funny

I don't like chalk. I don't like chalk. Well, make your own videos with your chalk.

example number 2: "in-

te-resting," didn't I just do that?

No, I did "into" and "Internet"

"interesting" in-tur-

hmm…in-tur-

est-ing

in-tur-est-ing, not

'een'teresting, in-tur-est-ing

or "intrsting"

in-

trst-ing "intrsting"

"intrsting", awesome. That's example 2. Let's do example 3, hurry teacher Phil hurry up. Okay fine. example 3 is

"This" that's the easy one. "this"

this

I always do the tongue biting because it's pretty hard to do it wrong when you're

doing this, this, not

okay here's the errors, common errors

errors

would be "dis"

I like "dis" car. "des"

I like "des" cars 'ee,'

d, bad, bad, so

"this" tha tha tha

de de de de de de de

see this 2 totally different sound "de" bad

good. Next one: "that"

example number 4

"that" not "dat"

of if you're German,

"zat," German or Russian, "zat"

"zat" car, bad

good the the the "that"

th da th da

th za th za

Totally different sound. Awesome.

Example number 5: "the" the

not "duh" or "zee"

the or the

the

the cat

the internet

the internet, the cat

not "zee" Internet or "duh" internet

like French "duh" internet

"the" "the" cat

"the" internet awesome. Let's do number

6 number 6 is: "reply"

now common error

would be too much

like always saying "reeply" "reeply"

we can say reply

or "ruh-ply" "reeply"

or "ruh-ply"

I say

"ruh-ply" I think most people say "ruh-ply" Do you want to reply to the email?

"ruh-ply" "ruh-ply"

Ruh ruh run ruh-ply

excellent next one: "woman"

common error

I should stop erasing common error and just leave that

common errors would be: wo-

man or woo-man

man or woo-man

so the real the real one is

"wuh-man" "wuh-man"

not "wo-man" or "woo-man"

"zee woo-man" went to the store

I don't know what accent that is like a combination of

all different kinds. Congratulations teacher Phil you did a horrible job

now wuh-man, wuhman

the woman likes

the internet. "Duh wo-man likes

dee eenternet." Awesome. Next example

Can you guess? Probably not. Because we only have 10 words we're doing.

It is: "man"

man often

often not done correctly is

"mahn" "mahn"

man "mahn" man

"mahn" a "ah" a "ah"

bad good

next example is: signal

ah

signal

incorrectly done

"Seeg-nal"

"seeg-nal" or "seeg-nul" seeg-nul"

signal "seeg-nal" signal

different. Or for Vietnamese,

sign-all

signal "sign-all"

wrong, signal "sign-all" signal

"sign-all" excellent, next example

and our last example is:

"professional"

"pruh-fesh-uhnel"

uhnl, professional

"pruh-fesh-uhnel"

not "pro-fesh-

ion-al

profesional, pro-feshion -al

or

"pro-fessshunel"

"pro-fessshunel" professional

processional teacher Phil

is not very professional when he makes his videos
