Great lesson Lucy! As a native French speaker, all those words make sense, since we pronounce them differently in French. Yet, it will help me teach English to my native German students :)

I use “inquire” frequently at work because my coworkers use it. And I’m in charge of Indian customer. Indian people definitely use “enquire” to ask something. I wondered what the difference and thought this may be the difference in British and American English. Now I’m really happy to understand this pair!😊

Thanks a bunch Lucy you have helped me all these years to improve my English with your innovative ideas and lessons especially your new PDFs 😀 ❤❤

A very large percentage of British people cannot spell those words correctly for the reason you mention. They write "loose" when they should write "lose", as Lucy mentioned.

@argonwheatbelly637

Actually, the long 'o' in "lose" causes the 's' to become voiced, as 'z'; whereas, the long "oo" sound in "loose" preserves the unvoiced 's' sound. Orthography in English is nasty, but not horrid.

Yes ! Every part of your video is a lesson . From the start of the video to the main lesson ,helps improve the accent by listening.

You really make things much more understandable and less confusing because your vocal and comprehensive explanation is just superb... I don't find any difficulty following your lessons though I'm second language speaker (I mean English is not my first tongue).. And more frankly I find that nowadays generations in UK tends to show off and make it even harder to the second tongue speakers.. It's a bit annoying but due to geopolitics and it is not a general rule anyway, I find you very informative and tolerant, so thank you, you made me like the UK English language.

Thanks Lucy! I often get confuse in these words but this video helped me... LOVE FROM INDIA♥️🇮🇳

Superb and clearly explained madam, your way of prononciation was amazing mam.

Omg am i falling in love with this teacher? Love her voice and accent

Thank you for this useful video. I have my own notice to differentiate inquire and enquire: Inquire the investigation(formal); Enquire the tourist information (informal) Great job, Lucy!👍

The similarity of these words reminds me why my relationship with English is so complicated...

Suggestions on "difference or comparison between words series": 1. Intensive, extensive 2. Later vs. Latter

Same here i can listen to her all day long because its just so soothing

Most British people don't know the difference between "inquire" and "enquire". It's difficult to expect people from other countries to know the difference!

Hey Lucy! Do you have to be the first all the time? Let us feel how being the first is. :)))

Hello Lucy ,I've been following your channel for quite a while now and am very impressed with your knowledge. So I saw one of your earlier video where you had shown the differences between British, American and Australian English, and I was quite surprised to see that there are a lot of differences between Indian and British English too(prior to which I thought both were same). So I want you to make a video about Indian English and differences, variations, words in English from other Indian languages origin, unique words in Indian English, etc. I want you to do so because of the growing influence of Indians in the world and I don't know if you know that India is the second highest English speaking country in the world only after US, another thing which is not relative to this is that UK PM Boris Johnson is visiting India as a chief guest for the Republic Day Parade on 26th Jan 2020 so that can be a occasion for this video. Its a kind request to you from me. Please make a video on it, it can be a gift from you to all your Indian fans.

I have to thank you for this videos, and for taking the time to create de PDF documents, really helpful. Well done!

Hi Lucy FYI regarding Insurance verses Assurance, and insurance pays out 'if' something happens whereas an assurance pays out 'when' something happens. That is life assurance pays out when you survive for a given period or die during that period, one o the other will happen. Assurance policies will pay out. Insurance will only pay out if the event insured against happens
