11 word pairs with CONFUSING pronunciation

Let's practice pronunciation together! We'll work on pairs of words with confusing pronunciation - in which the same combinations of letters are pronounced differently. One very frustrating thing about the English language is that the pronunciation is irregular. There aren't strict pronunciation rules that you could memorize and always know exactly how words are pronounced – it's just not possible. There ARE some pronunciation patterns… but there are also exceptions to those patterns! Some letters and combinations of letters have multiple different pronunciations, and you can't know which one to use just by reading the word; you need to hear the word. That's why listening and repeating is so important. You can improve your pronunciation fast inside my American English Pronunciation Course – we'll learn and practice all the sounds of the language, helping you to make the differences between similar sounds and avoid pronunciation mistakes. This course will help you speak English more clearly, confidently, and correctly!
