20 Pronunciations YOU Are Getting Wrong! | Easy English 116

Hello, welcome to Easy English.

So, unfortunately this week,

there's going to be no pronunciations video.

I just...

What!?

Why not!?

Yeah, I just didn't have the time

and I couldn't find the people to do it.

Why didn't you just do an 80's montage?

An 80's montage, that's a great idea.

So remember;

we're looking for the British English pronunciations.

If you want to play from home,

why don't you give this video a thumbs up

and subscribe to Easy English below.

Let's begin.

Here we go, your first word is...

Receept.

Receept.

Receept.

And this is how it should be pronounced:

Receipt.

Ehh... that one is easy;

Receipt.

I think this is easy, because we hear it a lot,

in... on TV, or things like that.

Receipt.

Receipt.

Here's you second word...

Hmm... strange word.

Lieu...

lieu...

lieu-tenant.

Lieu-tenant.

Lie-tenant.

Lieut-nant.

I think it's like that,

because in French, it's:

Lieutenant.

So I'd say:

Lieut-nant.

I know this one.

Lieutenant...

I hope.

And here's how it should be pronounced:

Lieutenant.

In British English, I think it's:

Lieutenant.

And in American English, it's:

Lieutenant.

Your third word is...

Honered.

Honered.

Honerd.

And here's how it should be pronounced:

Honoured.

Honoured.

Honoured.

Honoured.

Honoured.

I'm really honoured to be on your episode.

Here's your fourth word...

In-famous.

In-famous.

In-famous.

That seems too easy.

So, I'm probably wrong.

Er... in-famous.

I think:

Infamous.

And this is how it should be pronounced:

Infamous.

Infamous.

In...

I think it's not in-famous,

I think it's:

Infamous.

Infamous.

Here's word number five...

It's a Greek word, but I don't know how to pronounce.

Anesthetist.

Oh...

That's a tricky one.

That's...

Anaesthe...

F**k.

Anesthetist.

Huh!?

Anesthetists.

No!

And this is how it should be pronounced:

Anaesthetist.

Your next word is...

Worcester-shire.

Now let's talk about a classical British word.

Called...

I have no idea.

I...

I mean my intuition would tell me it's called:

Worcester-shire.

But it's probably just:

Worcester.

Or something like:

Watch...

What's...

Worcest...

Worcester-shire.

I've always read it, but I've never said it.

So:

Wor-cester-shire.

So maybe it's like...

Because usually, you have to shorten it, so maybe it's like:

Worcester-shire.

Very close.

But this is how it should be pronounced:

Worcestershire.

Here is the next word...

Me-lee.

That should be easy, but I don't understand this word.

I don't know what it is.

Me-lee.

And this is how it should be pronounced:

Melee.

That's... that reminds me of rugby.

I think it's even French, like:

Melee.

La melee in rugby.

So maybe it's totally different,

but then I'll say:

Melee.

Melee.

Thank you ''Super Smash Bros.''

This is your next word...

Borrow.

Borrow?

Borrow.

Borrow.

Aga, what would you say?

Burrogh.

Burrogh?

Borrow.

And here's how it should be pronounced:

Borough.

Borough.

And the next word is...

Analies-is.

Analy...

Analies-is.

I'm quite skeptical right now

about all words, but:

Analies-is.

Analysis.

Oh really?

And this is how it should be pronounced:

Analysis.

This one seems easy:

An analies-is.

Oh no!

An analysis.

Analysis, yep.

Greek word here:

Analysis.

Analysis.

Analyst.

Ah!

Analysis.

And this is your next word...

Maybe cout.

Cout.

Cooked.

Cout.

And here's how it should be pronounced:

Cough.

Cough.

Cough.

Cough.

Cough.

Cough.

Oh, you first.

Cough.

Yeah, cough.

And here's your next word...

Sweet.

Er... sweet, no.

Erm... sight.

Saight.

Suit.

And this is how it should be pronounced:

Suit.

I think...

I think I know this one,

it's suit.

Suit?

Suit.

Suit.

Here's the next word...

And then...

Simutanusly.

Simutanusly.

Simutanusly.

I never know whether it's supposed to be

Simultaneously or Symultaneously.

Simultan...

Symultaneously.

And this is how it should be pronounced:

Simultaneously.

Simultaneously.

Simultaneously.

Simultaneously.

This is your next word...

Myshap.

No.

Michap.

Makeup.

Makeup!

Makeup.

Yeah, makeup.

I have never seen that word before.

Mish-hap.

Looks so easy, but...

Looks so easy, but...

Erm... mish-hap.

And here's how it should be pronounced:

Mishap.

Then there's:

Mishap.

Mishap.

Mishap.

Mishap.

And the next word is...

Ah!

Eye-ron.

''Eye-ron Maiden'', no?

Eye-ron.

I don't know how you could pronounce this differently.

Eye-ron.

Eye-ron.

I-ron.

And this is how it should be pronounced:

Iron.

And this one, they taught us about at school.

And, they said it's a tricky one,

because a lot of people read it as eye-ron,

at least in Poland.

But actually, it's supposed to be something like, iron.

Like, ''Iron Maiden''.

Something like that.

It's not ''Eye-ron Maiden?''

No, it's not.

It's ''Iron Maiden''.

I spent all my life in this take.

Yeah, good.

And this is your next word...

Key.

Or...

- Kiwi.

- Kiwi.

Like the fruit.

A line, in American English.

And in English, it would a...

Quee.

A quee?

A key?

A quee?

And here's how it should be pronounced:

Queue.

An easy one:

Queue.

So this one is:

Queue.

Like the letter:

Q.

Ah, I know this word:

Queue.

Queue, yeah.

So proud.

We know it, finally.

And here's your next word...

Cloths.

No, cloths.

Clothe-es.

Clothe-es.

Clothe-es.

And this is how it should be pronounced:

Clothes.

It seems so easy.

- They want us to say:

Clothe-es.

No, no, no, no, no.

- But we won't.

Yeah, clothes.

Clothes, clothes.

Clothes.

Clothes.

Clothes.

Here's the next word...

Hughmorous.

I'm making an idiot out of myself,

which is pretty hughmorious.

Hmm...

Erm... umorous.

Umorous.

Humorous?

And this is how it should be pronounced:

Humorous.

Oh, humorous.

Humorous.

Humorous.

Humorous.

This is your next word...

Psy...

I dunno.

Psych.

Psych!

And here's how it should be pronounced:

Psychology.

Psychology.

Psychology is...

what I was interested in as a...

as a kid.

Psychology.

Psychology.

Psychology.

Er...

Psychology.

- Psychology.

And the next word is...

Cohmb.

Cohmb.

Cohmb.

And...

come,

is a gadget I use very (sparingly).

It's not somb.

Or chomp.

It's cohmb.

I think cuhmp.

Ah yeah, cuhmp.

Cuhmp.

Cuhmp.

Cuhmp.

Cuhmp.

It's something with...

without the ''B''.

Like, some...

It's not cohmb.

It's more like:

Come.

Come.

Cohmbing.

Come.

Comb.

And this is how it should be pronounced:

- Mm-hmm.

Ah okay, let me go first then.

Subtle.

- Yes, actually!

I guess, I don't wanna sound so...

But, I think; subtle.

And here's how it should be pronounced:

Subtle.

Subtle.

Subtle.

And how about one more word?

Try this one...

What the f**k is this!?

or potatoes to your mouth.

And pretend that you are talking.

Okay, let's do that:

Hyperto-tamus-se-circle-la-pt-pt-pt-pt-pt-phelia.

The fear of long words, right.
