👉 English Pronunciation can be CRAZY sometimes and we can see that clearly with the NINE Ways to Pronounce the letters OUGH in English.
👉 In this Pronunciation lesson I will show you the 9 different ways OUGH can be pronounced and we will practice some difficult OUGH words and tongue twisters so you can master pronunciation of this letter formation in English. We will also have a short TEST at the end so you can check if you are learning!
👉 There are SOME rules for OUGH pronunciation in English, for example if the OUGH is followed by a 'T' then it is usually pronounced /ɔː/. HOWEVER there are not many other reliable rules so the BEST WAY to learn is to learn BY HEART (by memory). Practice and repeat my words and then practice the longer English Sentences until you can feel your pronunciation improving!
👉 This lesson also includes plenty of practice with English Vowel Sounds so it's a good place if you want some extra practice with some difficult Diphthongs and Long vowel sounds!
👉👉 CHAPTERS 👉👉
00:00 Intro
01:07 OUGH = ʌf
02:00 OUGH = ɒf
02:53 OUGH = aʊ
03:38 OUGH = əʊ

06:34 OUGH = uː

Hi, proessor James :Incredible easy and good explanations. I've been reviewing Engish forever and this is the first time I've seen such a good explanations, congratulatios!! I'm from Spain but I've lived in Texas for a lot of years. The vowels sounds are particularly hard for Spanish people. I've decided to stop studying grammar and concentrate practicing the vowels, contractions rhythm. I understand almost everything but I sound pretty bad; yes, I hate it!!

I enjoyed your video and it was very informative and educational. My last name is Loughry which in my eyes people pronounce wrong most of the time. I was raised to pronounce it like lockry, which with some research, I have learned that's how it was originally and to this day pronounced in Ireland, so if this is any useful information, I hope you can use it.

You forgot GOUGH pronounced G O W J MEANING TO make (a groove, hole, or indentation) with or as with a sharp tool or blade. Example :- "He used his pen knife to gouge a hole in the wood." Please realise I mean no disrespect when saying this. I think your videos are extremely helpful and brilliantly made. You are a very good and patient teacher. Excellent work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Can you explain how to use plough please

@EasyENGLISHwithJames 2 жыл бұрын

A plough (noun) is a farming instrument. To plough (verb) is a farming action that means to turn over some dirt (earth) before planting seeds in the ground. Be careful, because in many North American accents (USA and Canada) they use “Plow” instead of “Plough” which is what British speakers use.
