Her/hair, can/can’t: 8 of the hardest pairs to pronounce EXPLAINED
Join My English Mindset and transform the way you think and feel about your English: bit.ly/3WdR0r1
The most confusing word pairs EVER! If you’ve been speaking English for a while, you probably know how complicated the spelling can be. But how about words that are spelled differently, but sound soooo similar?
These word pairs I’m going to teach you today are common pairs that people confuse, and can lead to misunderstanding. But don’t just take my word for it, I asked this question to my InFluency Community, a community of non-native speakers around the world, and we came up with this list together! (P.S.

I've been frustrating about these words especially in ''can vs can't ''. But today I feel so nice after knowing about the slight differences between these words. From now I will try to used to these words in a daily conversation. Thank you so much my dear Hadar.

Thanks Hadar for producing this Great lesson 👍. It's clear to understand each word's pronounce because I can follow your mouth or facial movements to speak. Wondering if you have a pronunciation class like that teaching method?
Thanks for helping ❤

Hi Hadar, thanks for this relevant lesson, I needed it! The most confusing for me was "word-world" but your explanation was so helpful now it's ok! By the way there is another confusing pair for me : "wonder-wander". Take care
Good explanation! I am a native speaker, and have no issue with these words. But I enjoyed hearing your break-down of the pronunciations. One thing, however -- I do not put the "y" in "quiet."
Thanks Hadar for your help. Now I know the pronunciation WORD AND WORLD with the technic of 3 LLL
Thank you!
I love your channel.
Dear Teacher, As always you have made this video useful video as well. Good job. I hope you focus in connected speech in the next steps. Kind Regards

"were" was my hardest word to say. I mixed it up with the pronunciation of the word "where". Thank you very much for your excellent videos. I love it! :) Another word I stumbled upon is: "treat", like the expression: deceive or regale! I pronounced "treeit" rather than "tr_t"

I've some difficulties with words like thought, through, throughout, thorough. Could u do a vídeo about that? It's really tough for non-native speakers!!
funny video, I see all the word I struggle with until few years back (can-can't is the worst). I guess it would have helped me at that time. miss the of-off pair
Here is my 👍like for you. U deserve it
I just surcribe to your channel from el salvador
A similar set in Hebrew: קרא קרע כרע. And I sometimes get ישב and שוב mixed up.
Thank you fo your videos! Could you make an another videos about not a pair but a bigger numbers of almost similar words like HERE, HAIR, HEAR, HARE, AIR, EAR please! Becouse often it`s quite hard for foreingers to distinguish these sounds )
@pierreabbat6157

At least in my accent, "hear" and "here" sound identical, as do "hair" and "hare". This here hare has hair on his ear but can't hear without air. "Hear" has "ear" in it. This is not a coincidence! "Ακουσαι" has "ους" in it; no coincidence either. And it's not a coincidence: they're all cognates.
I have great difficulties between "word", "world" and "work". When I speak to Google Translate, it always understands me as "work"
Trop belle j'adore🫣
Excelente..Gracias Hadar. DIOS te GUARDE
The pair can/can't is devilish, the others can be discerned by the context, here is the word chosen that makes the context... But this video has helped me a lot 🙂
Exquisite explanation. U rocks. #but 🙏 For me, 57yo, in my site, Brasil, I've seen a zilion another country people with a huge accents gramar mistekes, but "WE" don't car(e). We like it. Whatever. We just want know people, you know. I've been realizing that there is a lot of lot of lot of ... teacher concerning about straight rules, like like seems a native speaker. just a observation. I'm not critizing. Grammar is important, people is in trainee procces . Is there mostly the accent, so important for a person that learning another idiom ? In my opinion, every one in this planet, have your own accent, and this also define each one. I'm a trainee, ever, Eng learning by myself. ...(after burn, rsrs LOL xxx, I'l put this in gooTranslate and gonna learning about my mistakes here.) LOL. Congrats again.
I have a good exercise here, "if I were where you were, I would wear warfare wear there 🤣 And then, some pairs: borough vs. borrow, color vs. collar, and also a triplet: suing - sewing - sowing 😃 It may appear that first two words of the triplet are supposed to be pronounced same way, but that's not true, is it?
Hadar, you're such a beautiful and brilliant woman. 😍😍 😍 Awesome lesson.

The words more difficult to me are: where, wear, were and also bear, beard, beer and bird
The most words which confuse me that "where - wear - were", I still can't repeat the sound clarely. I know that is my fail, but thanks anyway for that perfect explanation. I appreciate that!
