Words like podcast should be clear when you pronounce them now, words like hot, should be easy as well. We also talked about the letter A in words like cat and iPad. And we discussed the very important difference in the sound of the eye, as in CIT and the EA as in seat or in E as in feet which sounds completely different to fit And finally, we discussed the letters A and you that should sound like an all, I think, pause or author. Now the objective of this final session is to give you some special pronunciation tips.

I will show you number one, some letters that should be completely silent in English. Number two, I will teach you some words that you should learn to perfectly pronounce because if you don't, you might be saying another word that's offensive to the people that hear you. Number three, we'll work on difficult words to pronounce the words that most commonly, English students confuse or mispronounce. And finally, I'll give you one of my favorite pronunciation This is something that very simple that when I started applying, I immediately felt an improvement in my style of pronouncing, I really love this tip. So let's start first with the silent letters in some words. Okay, take a look at these words.

I'll try to read them please. Good. Can you guess what letter should be completely silent from these words? That's right, the L. So we should be saying for these words, half, walk, talk. And of course, would, should and could if you're not pronouncing these letters, these words correctly if you're saying world For example, You should pay a lot of attention and immediately start correcting the sounds. Words like wood and crude are words that you will be using thousands of times in your life.

Every time you speak English, you'll be using these words. So if you're pronouncing them mistakenly, you're making it confusing to people to understand you every time you say something in English, so remember half talk, walk and could should put try to say it like that could shoot for great.

Now let's take a look at another easy one. Look at these words I try to read them I think you can tell me which sound or which letter is completely silent. Right? Right, we should say the light or bright. Whenever you see a G and an H, it never sounds like a G. Okay? In this case it's completely silent.

Ignore the G and the H words like light or bright. Okay, now a very important part. I will show you six words that these six words gave me a lot of problems when I was practicing and using my English. The problem was that I was mispronouncing these words and they're dangerous because if you miss pronounce them, they sound like a completely different word. Some of them can be offensive or some of them can be Just not what you want to say. Now, I will not tell you what is the other word, the bad word when you mispronounce it.
