Commonly Mispronounced Words List in English


Mispronounced Words

The subject of ‘correct pronunciation’ has always been very important for people who are just starting to learn English. Because there are many words written in English that are difficult to pronounce and complex. There are many people who do not speak English before, have just started learning English, or even pronounce English incorrectly.  In order to pronounce English words correctly, lots of practice should be done.

How to Improve Your English Pronunciation

Besides, watching videos, movies and TV series in English will benefit us tremendously. Because hearing something from people whose native language is English will take our pronunciation further. In general, as in every stage of learning, the most effective method is to practice profusely while learning English and trying to pronounce correctly.  We must constantly try to speak to someone in English, listen carefully to the other person and pay attention to how words come out of his mouth.



Likewise, when we speak to ourselves, if we correct this when we make a pronunciation mistake, we will be less likely to make that mistake once again. Being able to speak correctly in English, as in any language, both increases our competence in that language and takes our speech to an advanced level.
