How to Pronounce 25 JOBS in English | Go Natural English (American English Accent)

Hi, it's me Gabby your American English teacher from gonaturalenglish.com

Imagine that you're just getting to know someone you're in a conversation in English

Maybe with a native speaker and they ask you. What do you?

Do and when you tell them what your job is you pronounce it wrong and they don't

Understand you or worse

They understand you

But they don't really take you seriously anymore because you can't even pronounce your own job title

That's a problem and we're going to fix it today in this free English pronunciation

Lesson, I've noticed that a lot of English learners even

advanced-level have problems pronouncing

Careers and this is a very important part of our lives. We spend most of our waking hours at our jobs working

So we should definitely be comfortable talking about our careers. So I'm going to help us out with

25 of the most common and difficult to pronounce career titles and I'm gonna say them at least twice

So I invite you to repeat after me and I'm going to add some notes about how to pronounce them correctly

I'm not going to talk about what the careers mean or what is involved in the role and

Responsibility of that career. That's something that you could look up if you're not sure. So let's jump into this English pronunciation

Lesson together. Oh, and if you are learning English for work

Pre-reg I'll see you there. If you're serious about improving your English. The first career for us to practice is

accountant

accountants, the important thing here to note is that the second syllable is stressed and that means that the other parts of the

word are weak a

Countenance

Accountant also note that the tea in the middle of the word is almost

Silent that's because it comes after an N

It's very common for North American English speakers to mute a tea when it comes after an N

We'll see another example of this. So keep watching

administrator

Administrator again, let's focus on the stress here

Administrator we actually have a big stress on min and a secondary stress later in the word

administrator

administrator

professions often end in an a

sound even though they're spelled O R it sounds like

ER and this can be a difficult sound to make make sure that you're rounding your lips

sticking them out and your tongue is in the middle of your mouth when you make this sound or

Administrator but be careful that you're not stressing this sound at the end of the word because it is never stressed

Administrator not administrator. Now a lot of Medical Specialties are really hard to pronounce

So I'm only going to include a few of them here, but one that I think is really fun to practice for

pronunciation is

Anesthesiologist

Anesthesiologist is not pronounced with the typical th sound of or mmm

we actually have a tea sound here even though it's th

Anesthesiologist there are many professions that end in G ist and not as pronounced just for example

Archaeologists moving on someone who designs buildings is an architect

Architect is also an interesting spelling because we have the CH but it's not

Architect, although that's an easy way to remember how to spell this career

Architect we have to stress the first syllable

next one of my favorite professions because they make good food is a chef be careful because people often

Spell this as chief but chief is very different than chef

Notice that with chefs the CH sounds like an SH it's a soft sound

chef and with chief we have a hard CH sound I

Suppose you could be the chief chef, but that would be really hard to pronounce

next

consultants

Consultants, it's not such a difficult one, but we need to stress the second syllable

consultants

customer service remember to put the stress in the right place here customer service customer service is a

department not necessarily a career so we would say I work in customer service or I'm a

customer service representative

now representative is a more difficult word and we often blend sounds together when we speak quickly and say

Representative, do you hear the difference slowly?

Representative and quickly

Representative. Do you remember what I said about a tea that follows an N in the word?

Representative we have that spelling and so many

fast-talking North American English speakers will cut that tea out and it sounds like

Representative

representative

Another example of a tea becoming muted after an N is a dentist. Some people will say the tea

Dentist, but some people like many North Americans when we speak quickly. We really mute that first tea that comes after the N

Dentist next designer this one is not too difficult

But we have to remember that the G is silent

Designer

next doctor or physician

This is not such a difficult one to pronounce. I don't think but this stress again is very important doctor is easier

Physician is a little more difficult for xin

shun

I used to teach English as a Second Language to a wonderful group of students who came to the United States to study to be

Engineers they were going to be either

chemical engineers or mechanical

engineers

Engineer the stress is on the last syllable here, which is rare for English

But engineer as a word actually has roots in French, which often has the stress on the last syllable

engineer another career that has roots in the French language is

entrepreneur entrepreneur

I think this is a beautiful word. What do you think?

Do you think that there are certain career titles that sound more beautiful than others tell me in the comments if one of these

Sounds especially beautiful to you. Which career do you aspire to have or which career?

Are you already working in tell me in the comments?

financial planner or

financial advisor

An advisor is like a consultant and they have the stress both on the second syllable

lawyer

Do you notice that I don't say?

la

Your if we just have the word la la W

That's how you pronounce it la but when we talk about the career, it's lower

Low, you're not la year

Which is a big mistake that a lot of non-native English speakers make because looking at the word you would think that it sounds like

La you're but English is funny like that. Isn't it? A lawyer is also called an attorney

attorney

next for short we might say ite but if you need to

Say it all the way out. You would say I work in

information

technology information technology

Now the word information is interesting because it's actually not in

Formation. It's

information

information and another quick tip about the word technology is to avoid

pronouncing all the vowels the same English words can be difficult to pronounce because even though you have the same vowel like an O in

Technology, we pronounce it a little bit differently. We don't say technology

we say

Technology, so we have ah, and uh, both O's

Technology technology and let's compare that to the O's in

information we don't say in for may shown we say

infer may tion so we have her and uh both spelled with O's

information technology

next nurse

Nurse, it's not Norse. It's nurse almost like an ER sound nurse

Manager you might add

Manager to many of these titles you could be a nurse manager or you could be an accountant manager

So it would be a manager of just about any kind of departments

Be careful to pronounce the G correctly in manager jus it's not

your it's a

Harder G not hard as in good but a little bit harder than many of you are saying this

manager math magician

Mathematician is a beautiful word

But it sounds like a very difficult career to me math magician a better career in my opinion is a teacher

Teacher be sure to say the CH correctly many of you say it - softly t-shirt. It's not t-shirt

That sounds like a t-shirt. I am a teacher not a t-shirt

teacher teacher

real estate agents real estate real is stressed and

Estate is not as stressed real estate agents

psychologist

Psychologist is a very interesting word to spell because it looks like you would pronounce that precise

although just

So it's not like that at all is it?

psychologist

software

develop for

software developer

statistician

statistician a statistician works with

Statistics remember the stress and it'll help you out

statistician

surgeon

surgeon

Orthodontist or if we're speaking quickly

Orthodontist remember how those T's can disappear after ends now, sometimes you don't want to say your job title

But you want to say the field that you work in

So remember you can always say I work in and in the field I work in marketing. I work in education

I work in sales. I work in human resources

I work in construction. I work in health care and so on. So tell me what field do you work in?
