9 Confusing English Words Explained (and How to Pronounce Them!)

Join my British Pronunciation Course: www.etjenglish.com
These confusing words can be very annoying for both natives and non-natives! Learn how to use and pronounce them today!
Remember, you don't NEED an RP British accent to speak English well (or even an English accent at all!). There are loads of accents out there! I'm just here to help people who have a love for modern versions of RP and want to speak it clearly.

    That's perfect! My books will be helpful for learning Russian and English. I published Transliterated russian dictionary with English translation. Compound words dictionary separated by tables. All details on my channel. Red velvet and Vanilla Gelato. Exercises for an interpreter. And also two copies of these books, where Russian words have given in Cyrillic.
