We all have words that we take for granted.
Words like ‘apple’, or ’house’.
The first few words you learn in school, with pictures and big letters.
The words you never struggle to find when you speak.
Today’s episode is about that. Words you take for granted.
Common, simple, super frequent words that you are so familiar with,
that you never ask yourself whether or not you really pronounce them correctly.
I’d like to let you in on a little secret.
I’m not teaching you this just to help you sound GOOD, or less foreign.
You see,
Understanding the pronunciation of these words is essential for helping you speak effortlessly, without investing too much energy, or stressing the wrong words when you speak.
And I’ll tell you another secret.
Each word has TWO different pronunciations. Yup.
So basically this video is about fours words, but you’ll actually be learning eight!
Watch NOW, and come back after, to practice with the phrases below the video!
Repeat each phrase a few times, and use the reductions as we learned them!
