Pronounce the 100 Most Common English Words PERFECTLY

5954

- Hello and welcome back to English with Lucy.

I've got a new microphone.

Very exciting.

A lot of you have been commenting on my audio quality,

so I'm going to try and improve it with this.

I've also ordered another one for voiceovers

so hopefully my audio quality from now on

will be wonderful.

One thing I am having trouble with at the moment

is my focus so please bear with me

with this lesson because I know that my focus

isn't great.

It's something I'm working on.

So today's lesson is going to be a pronunciation lesson.

Oxford did a study of over one billion words

and they chose the 100 most used words

in the English language.

So I've taken those 100 words

and I'm going to pronounce them for you.

Now, in my opinion,

the absolute best way to sound more like a native speaker

is to imitate other native speakers.

So, I want you to imitate or to copy me.

So, I'll say the word and then you repeat.

I'll say it again.

And then you repeat.

And then we move on to the next one.

Now remember that I am speaking British English.

So my pronunciation will be different

to an American speakers pronunciation.

American English can be quite different.

But just as beautiful.

Now these words might seem quite easy

to you cause they're words that we use all the time,

but really concentrate on the vowel sounds

because in many languages like Spanish,

you have five vowel sounds.

And in British English we have 12 vowel sounds

as well diphthongs.

Now, I do have the complete list of the words

in the description box so if you are looking

for the pronunciation of a specific word,

then you can check that and click on the right timing.
