Today I'm going to introduce some

今天要來介紹一些

often mispronounced English words

容易發音錯的英文單字

In English

在英文裡面

pronunciation is very important

發音很重要

If you mispronounce something

有些時候發錯音

it might mean something different

就不小心變成另外一個意思

causing misunderstandings

會讓人誤解喔

In our daily lives

在我們日常生活裡面

we often mispronounce words

有些單字會因為拼字的關係

because of their spelling

而很容易發錯音

Did you know?

大家知道嗎

Ray has actually previously done a

其實阿滴之前有做過一個

funny video on mispronunciations

爆笑發音的影片

But that video seemed to be

但是那個好像就是比較

just for fun

娛樂性質（什麼...）

So today, we're doing some actual teaching

那今天呢！真的要做一些教學喔

on easily mispronounced English words

要教大家容易發錯音的英文單字

Before we talk about their correct pronunciations

那在講出它們正確發音之前

I will try to copy

我會先模仿一下

how they're usually mispronounced

通常它們是怎麼樣被講錯的

Please keep in mind that

那要特別注意喔

I'll be using an American accent

我是用美式發音

So please make sure to learn the correct pronunciation that comes after

所以大家要學的是後面的正確發音

Don't be misled by the earlier mispronunciations!

不要被前面的誤導囉

First

第一個

First

第一個

How would you pronounce this?

大家會怎麼唸呢？

I used to mispronounce this all the time

那這個字其實我自己之前也都一直發錯音

Because its spelling is

因為它的拼音是

a-l-m-o-n-d

a-l-m-o-n-d

There's an "L" in the middle

有個 "L" 在中間

So when we read it

所以我們唸的時候

We often pronounce the "L"

會把那個 "L" 給唸出來

And pronounce it as "aLmond"

也就是會變成 almond

However! This is incorrect!

但是呢！這是錯誤的喔！

The correct pronunciation is

正確的唸法應該是

Almond

almond

Yup, the "L" is silent

（喔～那個"L"是沒有發音）

Isn't it weird?

對，那個 "L" 是 silenced的 ，也就是靜音的！

Almond

有沒有覺得很怪呢？

Second

杏仁果

How would you pronounce this?

第二個

Ray used to pronounce this incorrectly

大家這個字會怎麼唸呢？

He pronounces it as "peessa"

之前阿滴也有把這個字唸錯

Yup!

他唸成 pizza

And then someone commented

（喔！有）對

"Hey, you seem to have mispronounced pizza!"

然後呢！下面就有人說

The correct pronunciation is

誒！你的披薩發音好像錯囉！（ 對）

Yup, it's like

正確唸法是

Miss Ko

pizza

Pizza from New York

對！它是一個

She ate a really bad pizza somewhere

pi、pi、pizza（喔～）

(Oh you're saying it in Chinese)

pizza 對～

Pizza! Yes!

Miss Ko

I was saying it in Chinese~

紐約來的 pizza

(Oh, okay)

因為她去吃了一家很難吃的披薩

Pizza

（喔你在唸中文）

And the third

披薩！對！

Everyone must be thinking

我剛剛在唸中文～

What? This word?

（喔！okay）

Isn't this on an elementary level?

披薩

Do we need to teach this?

再來第三個～

But this word actually has a hidden trap~

大家一定會覺得！

Everyone must think p-o-l-i-c-e

蛤！？這個字！

is pronounced as p-o

拜託這不是國小等級的嗎

"Poh-lice"

這還要教嗎？

But this is incorrect!

但是它其實有個陷阱喔～

The correct pronunciation is

大家會以為它 p-o-l-i-c-e

(Is there a difference?!)

是唸 po

Police

police

Four!

但是這並不是正確的喔！

(You can't think of any more sound effects, right?)

正確的唸法應該是

This word is actually often mispronounced

police

Because its verb

（有差嗎？我剛剛也想有差嗎！）

is pronounce

police

So when it becomes a verb

警察

You might want to carry the "o" into it

四！

Making it "pronOunciation"

（沒梗了嘛！）

But you actually can't pronounce the "o"

這個字其實非常容易唸錯喔！

The correct pronunciation is

因為它的動詞

Yup!

是 pronounce

So its spelling gives you a hint

所以它變成名詞的時候

So don't pronounce the "o!"

你會想要把那個 "O" 的那個感覺帶進去

Pronunciation

變成 pron“o"unciation

Fifth!

但其實不能夠有 "O" 的發音喔！

Imagine your own sound effects...

它正確的發音應該是

(What? Lame...)

pronunciation

(Fine, I'll edit it later)

對！

Please edit it later, I've run out of ideas~

所以它其實拼字都已經有給了你方向

When mispronounced, you would pronounce it with three syllables

就是不要把那個 "O" 的那個發音唸進去！

Turning it into "Wed-nes-day"

發音

But! The correct pronunciation is

第五個！

There are only two syllables!

自行填入音效～（XD）

Wednesday!

（什麼！？爛~~~）

Sixth!

（好啦！後製啦x2 ）

How would you pronounce this?

後製一下好不好（幫你後製啦！）拜託！想不到(音效)了～（好啦x2）

Those who love reading books

通常唸錯的話，就是把它分成3個音節

Especially English novels

變成 Wednesday

Must be familiar with this

但是呢！它的正確發音應該是

Because this word means a type of novel

Wednesday

If mispronounced, you might pronounce it as

只有兩個 syllable (音節) 喔！

"jen-ry"

週三！

But the correct pronunciation

六！

is actually "genre"

這個大家又會怎麼發音呢？

Why doesn't it sound like English?

這個字愛看書的人

Because it's not an English word

尤其是英文小說的話

It's French!

ㄧ定會很熟悉

So the correct pronunciation is

因為這個字代表就是英文小說的類型

Genre

如果唸錯的話可能會把它唸成

Seventh!

genre

How would you pronounce this?

但是它的正確唸法

When I collaborated with WaWaKu on our horoscopes video

其實是 genre

I mispronounced this word

那為什麼它會聽起來這麼不像英文呢

(I know which word it is!)

因為它本來就不是英文

Yup, I pronounced it as "mischeevious"

它是法文喔！

Really, I've always pronounced it as

所以它的正確唸法是

"mischeevious"

genre

Because it just looks like it should be pronounced as "mischeevious," right?

類型

But actually its correct pronunciation

七！

Should have three syllables

大家會怎麼唸呢？

Mischievous

我之前跟娃娃合作的12星座影片

Eighth!

我這個字！有唸錯～

How would you pronounce this?

（我知道是哪個字了！）

I'm sure this word must have

對～我把它唸成 mischiveous

frustrated many people for a long time

真的！永遠都是把它唸成

Because this word looks very special

mischievous

q-u-e-u-e

因為它就是一副長得就是要你唸 mischievous 的樣子！不是嗎？（幹嘛崩潰XD www）

Is it supposed to be "que-wei"

但其實它的正確發音

or "qui-wi?"

應該是：是三個 syllable (音節) 的發音！

Actually its pronunciation is very simple!

mischievous

Just one syllable

調皮！

It is

八！

So

大家會怎麼唸呢？

It's pronounced like the letter "Q"

這個字其實我覺得

Queue

一定困擾很多人很久了！

Ninth!

因為這個字看起來真的非常的特別

How would you pronounce this?

q-u-e-u-e

The way this word is often mispronounced

是要唸成 que-wei

is separating it into two parts

還是 qui-wi 呢？

Making them two independent words

那其實它的正確唸法非常的簡單喔！

Which are "break" and "fast"

就只有一個音節！

So you might pronounce it as

也就是

"break-fAst"

queue

But this is incorrect!

所以呢！

The correct pronunciation is

就是跟 "Q" 這個英文字母的唸法差不多喔！

Breakfast

queue

Tenth!

排隊

How would you pronounce this?

九！

Those who love coffee, don't mispronounce this word!

大家會怎麼唸呢？

Actually I think I mispronounced this before

那通常這個字錯誤的唸法

The incorrect version is "eXpresso"

可能會是：把這個字拆成兩個！

There's an "X" sound

變成完全獨立的單字

But let's look at the spelling

也就是 break 跟 fast

It's spelled "es" so the correct pronunciation is

所以你們可能會唸成

You might be reminded of my video on Starbucks vocabulary

breakfast

Here it is! Go watch it!

但是這個是錯誤的喔！

Has this episode been helpful?

那這個字正確的唸法應該是

Is it too easy?

breakfast

Or do you think

早餐

Um... even if it's easy it's okay

十！

because my pronunciation sounds great

大家會怎麼唸呢？

Please let me know in the comment section

愛喝咖啡的人，這個字可不要唸錯了喔

my pronunciation

其實我之前好像也都是唸錯！

is really, really great!

唸錯的版本是：e"x"presso

Fine, so our video ends here!

有一個 "X" 的音

I hope everyone liked it

但是呢我們就按造它的拼字來去唸就好了

It's been a while since I filmed

它的拼字是 es 所以正確的發音就是

Ray has also filmed a

espresso

Funny... Huh?

想到 espresso 就會想到之前滴妹做的星巴克單字影片

Was it about pronun..? (You don't know! You don't watch my videos!)

在這裡！快去看～

Hey, it was a long time ago so I forget...
