Amber is a stone made from hardened and fossilized tree resin, and can also refer to the colour of such stones (an amber traffic light).

My dad was always quick to correct me whenever I mispronounced a word. He also loved to point out that for every rule there are many exceptions. He taught me that American English is a very complex language. He also pointed out the differences between American and British English. I was very blessed to have parents who taught me well. I think that is less common today. Parents don’t place the emphasis and importance on language. I believe our language is changing as a result. My great grandchildren may speak differently than my parents did. Your channel is such a wonderful resource. It should be recommended to all who are not native English speakers.

When it comes to the A rule, you can tell when a word has a silent "A" if it ends in the suffix "-ally". In your examples, "legally" and "vocally", the root word ends in al already, "legal" and "vocal". If the root word ends in "al", then the "A" is spoken. Examples: Total/Totally, Lateral/Laterally, etc. If the word has "-al" suffix, then you attach "-ly" at the end of that, then the "A" is silent. Examples: Abdominal/Abdominally, Magical/Magically, etc.

For the silent B in debt/doubt/subtle (and the silent P in receipt), you can blame Latin language nerds. When those words were borrowed into English from French, they were spelled as they were pronounced in French, without a B, but during the Renaissance, scholars eager to show off their Latin prowess introduced the Bs back into the spelling to reflect their Latin origins (where they actually were pronounced) even though they have never been pronounced in any form of English.

0:46 These words are sometimes misspelled as "logicly". Adjective that end in "c" (basic) take this suffix instead of -ly (basically). 2:56 The B in these words wasn't originally there. It was added to highlight the words' Latin etymology. 3:59 It's not silent in any of these words except "muscle". C makes /s/ before E, I, or Y. 5:23 D is silent in these words because not pronouncing them is easier (ellision). 6:27 The D is redundant because J is two sounds: dzh. 9:47 */ˈkæ.feɪ/ The word is often written as "café" because it's preserving the diacritics of its French origin. 11:08 The G was originally pronounced there but disappeared. 12:04 In British English, the H in "herb" is pronounced. I pronounce it despite being American.

English, the language where exceptions are the rule and rules are the exception.

Excellent!

I've been enjoying watching your videos this evening. I realize they're made for non-native English speakers, so fortunately I know how to pronounce most of the words. LOL. (That was in the video "14 Words Americans Pronounce Wrong) But in this video I was a bit surprised to hear you say that the 'd' is silent in words like sandwich, sandpaper, soundproof, landmark, and windmill. I have always pronounced the d in those words. And I haven't noticed many people that don't pronounce them like that. I have heard children say "samwich". But they usually grow out of that. My mother used to say "sammich" because she thought she was funny. 😁 The silent d must have something to do with what part of the country you come from. I have also never heard that the second f in "fifth" was supposed to be silent, I say "fifth" with two f's. I always assumed people that don't pronounce the 2nd f just have a hard time with that sound combination. 😊

Probably something like half the language is not of English origin, but that depends on what exactly one means by "English". Does "Old English" count? The English language has lots of French in it (much because of the Norman invasion of 1066 A.D., which ironically has the nice effect that I can understand many words in written French simply because I know English. English also has a couple of thousand words or more that are derived from Old Norse. (That means ancient Scandinavian, and this is because of viking invasions as well as direct rule of the British islands by Denmark a millenium ago.) Examples include everyday English words such as "husband" (Old Norse "husbondi", literally "house farmer"; and window means "wind eye"). Another example is "bag", from Old Norse "baggi".
