Hello, and welcome to English for Everyone, where we practice real-life American English.
Today, we're going to talk about some difficult pronunciations, so let's get started.
Recently, I got a request from one of our members to make a video about these difficult words and how to pronounce them correctly.
So, this one's for you, Daniel.
Keep watching.
First, let's talk about this word.
It's not pronounced I-oh.
We don't say I, I-oh.
We say oh, oh, I'll be right back.
Not I'll be right back, but I'll, I'll, I'll be right back.
Let's hear some examples.
I'll be right back.
Look, freeze.
Don't move.
I'll be right back.
Okay?
Don't move.
I'll be right back.
Okay.
Sorry, I gotta...
I'll be right back.
I'll be right back.
All right?
We'll finish talking.
Let's practice.
Will you be right back?
That's right.
I'll be right back.
Now, let's look at this word.
This word is pronounced it'll, it'll.
The T changes to a fast D. Not it'll, but it'll, it'll.
Then we go to the dark L. Oh, oh, oh, it'll.
The last L sound is oh, like when you hear table or bottle.
It's the same sound, oh, it'll, it'll.
Example.
We're having a party tomorrow.
You should come.
It'll be fun.
It'll, it'll be fun.
Let's practice.
We're having a party tomorrow.
Do you think it'll be fun?
That's right.
It'll be fun.
Now, let's talk about this contraction.
You're.
Yes, you can pronounce it like that.
You can say you're, making the ooh sound, you're.
But normally we don't.
We say you're, you're.
So the pronunciation is just like the possessive you're, like your car or your phone.
You're.
Example.
We're having a party tomorrow.
You're going to be there, right?
Yeah, I'm going to be there.
And what about this word, they're?
You can pronounce the a, they, they're, but normally we don't.
We say they're, they're.
So these three words are pronounced exactly the same.
They're, they are contraction, they're, like over there, and their, their car, their money.
You can pronounce these words all exactly the same.
So let's practice with they're.
They're going to the store.
They're, they're, they're going to the store.
Let's practice.
Where are they going?
Are they going to the store?
That's right.
They're going to the store.
And Daniel also asked about this word, world.
This is a hard one.
We use the er sound like burger, er, er, were.
Then we go to the dark L. Listen.
World, world, world, world, world.
It's like when you hear this word, girl.
The same thing is happening.
You're making the er sound like burger plus the dark L. Girl, girl, world, world.
Example, I want to travel all over the world.
What about you?
Do you want to travel all over the world?
Very good.
So remember these difficult words to pronounce.
I'll, it'll, your, their, and world.
