Let's say 96 words with SILENT letters!

SHAYNA OLIVEIRA
About this episode
The English language has a lot of silent letters that cause difficulties for both native speakers and English learners, because they make the spelling of words different from their pronunciation.

You don't want to make embarrassing mistakes by saying these words wrong, so today let's practice pronouncing some common English words with silent letters from A to Z!
 
Thanks for practicing with me!

When you practice by repeating out loud, you're training your mouth to pronounce these English words more clearly, so that other people can understand you even better.

My American English Pronunciation Course has tons of listen and repeat exercises – both words and full sentences – so that you can get this essential practice and improve your pronunciation fast. I hope to see you in the course :-)
