When I was in the ninth grade, when my English teacher told me to read the paraphrase, and I mispronounced a word, and she correct in a very harsh way. She criticized me in front of my classmates and I was really embarrassed at that time. And I also remember that when she told us to make an essay, and I was typographically incorrect and used an incorrect grammar, and she starts to belittle me again in front of many students. That's why I searched an English Teaching channel here in KZfaq and I saw this channel, and frankly speaking, I learned so much about English than my Teacher. Thank U Lucy! I really like your channel!

For me as a German it sometimes strikes me that the same sequence of letters can have so many different pronunciations in English. For example, many Germans get confused with the suffix "ate". They often pronounce "ultimate" like "ulti-mate" ("-ait") as in "late", "gate", "fate" and so on... Another example is the suffix "-ough", which can have so many different pronunciations that you have to memorise the pronunciation for every word that ends in it separately.

@Beirut27 7 ай бұрын

That's the only real difficulty with English, its grammar is a piece of cake and so many words have Latin or Greek roots that it's easy to guess their meaning but its pronunciation 😱 ! Even a learned English speaker who comes across a new word in a book must check its pronuncation 🤔. As an English teacher used to tell us : an English word written "elastic" may well be pronounced "rubber"... or the other way round 😄 ...

My mother tongue is Tamil but I had my education in the English medium. I am Indian but I had my primary and secondary education in Sri Lanka during the 1950s. My English teacher in the 4th and 5th standards and then in the 1st Form was an English lady, Miss Hutchins. I am 78 now. Listening to this video brought me nostalgic memories of my good old teacher. When I close my eyes, I heard her.

I am a Lieutenant Colonel and I've always heard that the British did not want to pronounce it the French way ("col-o-nel") so they changed it to the "kernal" sound. I laso find it interesting that the British (it's your language after all) mispronounce some words, for example dropping the "a" in miltary; you say "mili-tree". Or adding a subtle "r" sound to end of words that end in "a". I had the aluminum vs. aluminium discussion with a British friend and we looked it up in a dictionary. "Aluminum" listed a description of the metal, bauxite ore, etc, and under "aluminium" it said "British for aluminum"; my friend was aghast...
