Pronounce the 100 Most Common English Words CORRECTLY | American Accent Training

Hi and welcome.

In this lesson, I will show you how to pronounce the 100 most common words in English correctly

with an American accent.

This lesson is based on a word list published by Oxford University Press (if you want to

see the list, the link is in the description).

I will say each word twice.

Listen and practice saying the word after me.

Throughout this video, try to copy my pronunciation exactly.
