About this episode

You probably know that an English word ends in -E, the -E is usually silent; we don't pronounce it - like in the words date, cheese, fine, spoke, and rude.

But there are a few exceptions!

Many of these words came into English from other languages and so they don't follow the typical trend of a silent E at the end.

Repeat after me to learn 12 words in which we DO pronounce the final -E.

I know that English pronunciation can be SO confusing with all these exceptions to the rules!

If you want to improve your pronunciation fast, come join my American English Pronunciation Course.

Inside it, we'll do lots of practice so that you can master the sounds of the language and say them clearly. And when you can pronounce things clearly, you'll be able to speak English more confidently.

I hope you've enjoyed today's lesson and learned something new!
