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. Have you joined the free community? You’re invited! bit.ly/3Sx1S2O)

    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.

    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.
