Did you know that the way you pronounce words can really make a difference in how people understand you or even if they want to talk with you?
It can be really tiring for other people to try to understand what you're trying to say if you're not pronouncing words correctly.
Not only that, it can be tiring but it can also have more serious repercussions.
I read a story in the news the other day that was really tragic and I don't know if you heard about it so I'll tell you a little bit about it what happened.
There was a young person who died because he thought that his bungee jumping instructor said now jump but his instructor who didn't speak English very well said no jump and the correct way of saying this would be don't jump which is completely different but his pronunciation of no jump sounded like
now jump and they're quite similar.
You can see why this tragedy happened but the young person jumped without having the correct safety harness in place and passed away.
So this is a horrible horrible example of why communication and pronunciation and grammar are so important and I hope nothing like this would ever happen again but the truth is that failure to communicate does result in problems.
Sometimes they can be really serious so that's why I'm here with Go Natural English.
It's my passion to help you to communicate clearly to learn correct pronunciation and to move forward with your fluency and feel confident speaking English and so today we're talking about commonly mispronounced words.
Hopefully none of these words mispronounced would be a life or death situation however we know in general how important communication is and I want you to get your points across to your conversation partners to your co -workers to your friends who speak English and after you watch this quick English
lesson I want you to try practicing with Lingoda.
Lingoda is my trusted online language learning site where you can learn English, business English, French, Spanish or German.
I've personally used Lingoda to practice my Spanish speaking skills and this month you can join what's called a sprint.
You can join the super sprint which means that you join 30 lessons per month and after two months of participating and doing all the lessons agreed upon you can get 100 of your money back.
If you do the regular sprint it's 15 lessons per month for two months and you can get 50 that's half of your tuition back so this is an amazing opportunity for you to practice your pronunciation, practice your speaking, get feedback.
They are an amazing place with expert native fluent English teachers who come prepared with materials for your classes and the small group classes have usually around three to five students maximum five group size so you always get a lot of speaking time and attention from your teacher.
My experience with them was really good so that's why I'm recommending them for you and thank you to Lingoda for sponsoring this video lesson.
