Hi everyone, I'm Kristina and welcome to next year English. Today I'll tell you about my five pronunciation mistakes I've been making while I was learning English. And one of them number one is... ...foring. Foring. I was pronouncing foreign this way. I remember perfectly the face of my ex-mino when she heard this foring. I thought she was going to fail me. It was a terrifying experience. But since then I've never made a mistake pronouncing that word. I've been always saying foreign. And yes guys, just know that I'm a Ukrainian and my pronunciation is not perfect. So don't make me as a reference. Just make sure and listen to the correct pronunciation in the dictionaries. For example, most of online dictionaries have the pronunciation button. It's like a speaker, the icon of speaker. Just click it and listen to it and repeat it. Repeat it. Okay, so check it out later. But I want to tell you my mistakes. So you want to commit them. And of course check if you pronounce them correctly as well. Let's go to mistake number two. Mistake number two also was an embarrassing experience for me. We had an American teacher and I think I was about 12. And he asked us, how do you call this sound? And I was like, I know, I know. I was a kind of an English nerd. Yeah, yeah, I know. And he said, yes, Christina, I'm listening. Knock knock. As you know, the K with N at the beginning of the sentence are silent. And you never pronounce it knock knock or kno or knive. You say knock knock or in nine. I know. I hope that you know that. Alright, so guys, be careful. Make sure you don't commit this mistake. Like I did in 2002 perhaps. And what about number three? Let's go. Mistake number three was made when I was at university. And I had a British teacher named was Fiona. And she told me, Christina, don't say house. I was making the house sound. This is what how I pronounce it in my mother tongue. So I was saying, my house is very big. And she said, no, no, Christina, you have to exhale while you pronounce in house. Guys, dude, with me, house. You don't say house. Just exhale. And likely say house. Like you're checking your breath. Try it out later. And let's talk about mistake number four. Mistake number four. I didn't make a mistake the way I pronounced it, but I did make it when I was correcting others and saying that it was wrong. What I mean? I said that adult is the correct way of pronouncing that word, not adult. Turns out I was wrong because there are two ways of pronouncing it. One of them is British and the other one is American. Adult adult. Sorry, guys. Sorry, those ones who I've been correcting, I was wrong. I didn't want to, but I was wrong. Mistake number five. Let's talk about it. Mistake number five is clothes. Which I was pronouncing clothes. One day one of my friends told me about it and I was a little bit embarrassed because I did know that it was wrong, but I kept repeatedly committing that mistake and mispronouncing that. Luckily after about two or three weeks of correcting, constant correction, I think I changed it. Now I say clothes, but guys, it took a while for me to correct it and to change it. So as soon as you realize that you mispronouncing some word, please correct yourself and just don't build habit of mispronouncing. It will be harder later to change it. Then just spend five seconds, okay, 30 seconds, looking it up, double checking in the dictionary. All right, guys. I hope that you enjoyed it and you don't make those mistakes.
