    When I was in the ninth grade, when my English teacher told me to read the paraphrase, and I mispronounced a word, and she correct in a very harsh way. She criticized me in front of my classmates and I was really embarrassed at that time. And I also remember that when she told us to make an essay, and I was typographically incorrect and used an incorrect grammar, and she starts to belittle me again in front of many students. That's why I searched an English Teaching channel here in CZcams and I saw this channel, and frankly speaking, I learned so much about English than my Teacher. Thank U Lucy! I really like your channel!

    As a west coast Canadian there were only a couple that we pronounce differently. I have a friend that had only ever read the word awry, when he used it in a sentence he said awe-ree. Your idea of reading a book along with an audio book seems like a good one.

My English teacher in the 4th and 5th standards and then in the 1st Form was an English lady, Miss Hutchins. I am 78 now. Listening to this video brought me nostalgic memories of my good old teacher. When I close my eyes, I heard her.

    For me as a German it sometimes strikes me that the same sequence of letters can have so many different pronunciations in English. For example, many Germans get confused with the suffix "ate". They often pronounce "ultimate" like "ulti-mate" ("-ait") as in "late", "gate", "fate" and so on... Another example is the suffix "-ough", which can have so many different pronunciations that you have to memorise the pronunciation for every word that ends in it separately.

      That's the only real difficulty with English, its grammar is a piece of cake and so many words have Latin or Greek roots that it's easy to guess their meaning but its pronunciation 😱 ! Even a learned English speaker who comes across a new word in a book must check its pronuncation 🤔. As an English teacher used to tell us : an English word written "elastic" may well be pronounced "rubber"... or the other way round 😄 ...
