Thanks Jenna! The fact that you mentioned the two possible pronunciations of "poor" was enough to make this video outstanding. When I first started working on my pronunciation, I thought that only "pour" and "pore" were homophones and "poor" was pronounced differently. However, the more I listened to Americans the more I noticed that a lot of them tend to say it that way. You guys just love to keep your vowels open!😅 Oh, and is it true that "our" becomes more like "ar" in fast speech? I heard that tip from an American accent coach once, and it seems to be pretty accurate, but I still haven't gotten used to saying it like that!

Thanks for bringing that up (about our/are). I should have thought of that because even though it is true that "our" and "hour" sound the same, I think it's rare for us to actually pronounce "our" like "hour." You're right--we almost always say "are." Just another example of how pronunciation in normal, daily speaking defaults to what is easier and faster to say.

Pair/Pear. Homophones are definitely a tricky aspect of English pronunciation, especially because you need to know both words. For example, the word "hare" is not as common as its homophone "hair"; so if you only know one of the two spellings, it will definitely be confusing to guess the right meaning from the context.

Yes! How about this? Pear, pair, pare! Pare is a verb (maybe you already know it) like “to pare something down” and “a paring knife”

Well, now you do :) From the Longman dictionary: 1. to cut off the outer layer of something, using a sharp knife Pare the rind from the fruit. 2. to reduce the amount, number, or size of something as much as you can The firm has not been able to pare costs fast enough to match competitors.

Hello, I can't make long sentences in English while speaking. what is your suggestion? And I can't memorize words and my mind doesn't stay.

@deltakid0 2 ай бұрын

Write some terms you find hard to memorize down on your phone so you have them readily available wherever you go, then do a review on your free time, let's say on the bus, on a waiting room, etc.

Don't worry about how long your sentences are when you speak. Just keep working on your vocabulary and speaking fluency. About vocabulary words, set a goal, like 20 new words per week. Make a document with the words, an easy definition (use Longman dictionary), and a good example sentence. Put the document somewhere where you can see it often, like on your bathroom mirror. Review the words every day for a week. At the same time, try to use them in your speaking. When you practice them, you learn them. When you don't practice them, you easily forget them.
