    These confusing words can be very annoying for both natives and non-natives! Learn how to use and pronounce them today!
    Remember, you don't NEED an RP British accent to speak English well (or even an English accent at all!). There are loads of accents out there! I'm just here to help people who have a love for modern versions of RP and want to speak it clearly.
