TRANSCRIPT:
You've learned the word and you can write the word, but when you say the word, nobody understands you and communication breaks down. Not good. So I've taken the 20 most commonly mispronounced words from the students inside my courses over the past 6 months, and I'm going to teach you them all inside this lesson.
I help lots of students inside my courses with their pronunciation. In fact, my students come from 90 different countries, but everyone makes pronunciation mistakes because of these 3 reasons. The first reason is that you stress the wrong syllable. And this is really, really common. And it's probably one of the biggest reasons people make pronunciation mistakes. Like, for example, if I ask you if you know who David Beckham is, do you know? What about if I ask you if you know who David Beckham is? If you stress the wrong syllable in a word, it becomes very difficult to understand what we're talking about.
The second reason is that you're using the wrong sound in a word. For example, the word work, which many students pronounce incorrectly because of that vowel sound in the middle. If you put the /ə/ sound there instead of the /ɜː/ sound, it becomes a different word. It becomes walk instead of work.
And the third reason is because of silent letters and students often wanting to pronounce all the letters in a word. Well, English is full of silent letters. And if you pronounce these silent letters, it can be very difficult to understand what you're talking about. Like the word queue. If you pronounce that queue, people would just think you're making a funny sound.
So we're going to divide today's lesson into those three categories. There are 20 words, and I want you to take note and tell me in the comments how many of these words you currently pronounce badly. Are you ready? Let's go.
Okay, this section is all about stress. And when I talk about a stressed syllable, just know that every word in English has one stressed syllable and the other variables are weak. So listen to the word computer. Computer, pu is the stressed syllable in that word. Okay, the first word that you are probably mispronouncing is this one. Interesting. And this has the stress on the first syllable. It's not interesting with the stress on the second. No, no, no. Interesting with the stress on the first syllable. And this is also true for related words like interestingly or interest, or interested. That one is such a common mistake.

I’m from Cuba and sometimes I get confused with pronunciation in English even though I consider myself fluent in this language. Thank you so much. Your explanation was perfect in my opinion.
Instead of repeating dozens and dozens words of gratitude, I pressed a lot of thumbs up.
Thanks Greg, you are so helpful despite your British accent. Wish you patient with your students.
Thank you.
Thank you, Greg
Hi Greg! you're a genious in English teaching. I appreciate the way you manage all these words, explaining in details. Thanks a lot.
Umlauts are missing in the English language. 10:20 Interesting. The comparison with the three words “meat”, “great”, “threat”. Umlauts, like those used in other languages, would be very helpful. For example, in German the "EA" in the word "threat" would be written with the letter Ä (if it were a German word). With umlauts, everyone knows how to pronounce it.

Beautiful lesson!❤
Thank you, excellent lesson.
THank you Greg for Great work!
Thank you so much for this lesson. It helped me a lot.
Until now I mispronounce the word Target, I used to pronounce it with -y- instead of -g-. Thank you very much.
Thank you!
Very good!
Thank you so much.
For years, I used to pronounce the S and the T from 'castle'. It became like a brazilian word, but no one would understand.
Very fantastic, work compared to wake 11:25
perfect class and I.m in love with your eyes .
I really love your lesson.
Hi Greg! much obliged. Could you please make a video on degrees of comparison and its models! Thanks in advance!
thank you for helping advancing my english Mr. Greg! Love from indonesia 😁
Thanks! I pressed thumbs!
Hi Greg! Thank you for your useful video. I was in trouble not to be able to articulate the difference 'work' and 'walk'. I feel I could somewhat grasp the tips of these expression of the words. I made a 'excel' reference I could refer when I forget/bewilder it. I felt at ease the fact that it's not only me, lots of learners lose way in pronunciation of those.

Thanks Grek teacher I miss pronunciate experience and answer currently
YOU ROCK MAN
Thanks
For me it is pretty tough words that have the same writing but different stress syllables for nouns and verbs..
I enjoy your way to pronounce. The best one, as my opinion.
That's just what I need.
Thank
The point is English orthography is one of its hardest parts (as in many other languages) and has no logic that you have to look every single word up in dictionary to make sure how one is pronounced. For instance Simultaneously used to be a very difficult word for me to remember. Much obliged Gregory!❤
Hello sir Greg I think I pronounced those words correctly as I heard from you how you say it Thank you😊
1. Grammar ✅ 2. Pronunciation ✅ 3. Slang ✅ 4. Phrases ✅ 5. Vocabulary 🗿
most of the examples refer to Italian / Spanish speakers when they want to stress last syllable... therefore the material to other nationalities is a bit more interesting
I am understanding.
Thank you for this very INteresting lesson. I have learnt 5 pronunciations I was not sure to say the good way. 230908

Suggestion: Have you gone to all states of a USA or not yet? In Hawaii alone ..it has its own statewide pronunciation that is acceptable by the Department of Education. In Hawaii. ,their official language is called Pidhin English. This language is different from other languages in this country because all English words ending in " ER " such as meter should be pronounced as " me' tah...and on top of that words with a consonant of "w" such as EWA should be pronounced EVA.. HERE should be pronounced HEA..

Hi Greg! By the way,... Is it 'Past PARticiple' or 'Past ParTIciple' ? I'm always in doubt when I have to pronunce it. Love your videos!😀
Congratulations.
My wrong pronunciations: fulfill and decade
I know I've already asked you if I could make a Portuguese version of your videos for my Brazilian students and you said YES!!! And I am really grateful for that. But, I know I'm asking too much, if you could make a short video saying you allow me to do that, I could share it on my channel. If it's possoble. Anyway, thanks a lot. I love your videos, I buy your courses whenever I can afford, and I have been learning a lot with you. Thanks again!!

Yes :) The "p" is silent, do not pronounce it. Most common (American) = ruh- Ceet, ruh-Seat... Or, ree-Seat.
All correct, but I'm from Grimsby after all... - only jesting.

Yorkshire accent...he probably pronounces cast /kæst/ and not /kɑːst/, love /lʊv/ not /lʌv/ and so on. If you are good at phonetics, you can check for further information from "Accents of English 1- An Introduction" by J.C. Wells. It's the deepest in terms of accents within England and the rest of the world (volume 2 and 3).
That's what I just said.
My pet peeve is people who say Salmon like Sal -mon. The L is silent!

French here, bad at stress, good at sound, medium at silent letters.

You don’t explain the difference in pronunciation. You want grown up people to imitate sounds. Funny. They are not children. Adults needs explanation. Useless…
