      @Nelson Luciano I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
      Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

    Thank you, it is complicated but understandable by the way of your great explanation. I wonder that what is the reason of this difference between pronunciation and writing? Is it possible to explain it in terms of historical development of English language and also effects of the other languages to English language. I look forward to receiving your valuable comments.

  • @smu7270
    @smu7270 6 років тому +1

    Hello! I teach English as well. I think those letter groups come from Old English. Remember, English is a Germanic language that became infused with a lot of Latin, particularly French. For example, the word "right" in English (as in "correct") is "richtig" in German. You can see the correlation.

    I just looked up the word 'slough' in a few dictionaries, and there's always a third meaning: 'the outer layer of the skin of a snake, which is cast off periodically' and the verb related
    Is it in common usage?

    • @peepeetrain8755
      @peepeetrain8755 4 роки тому

      no lmao. as a native, i've never heard of that usage. you'll only need to know that if you are interested in snakes and wanted to impress others.

    Great video
    I have a big difficulty in saying correctly the words lock and luck.
    They sound so similar
    Could you mention these words on one of your future videos?
    I'll be grateful

    • @lemonadebraids
      @lemonadebraids 7 років тому

      Sorry for the late reply, but I'm going to explain it to you as best I can.
      For lock, you say it like L(OCK) (if you know how to say 'flock', think of it that way, without the F at the beginning).
      For luck, you say it like L(UCK) (think of the word 'yuck', only instead of a Y, replace it with an L).
      Hope this helps :-) Good luck with learning English!

  • @kseniavyacheslavovnavdele
    @kseniavyacheslavovnavdele 7 років тому

    Sir Adam, thank you so much for your exciting lessons! My students and I are crazy about them! Just one thing: the dictionary transcription is different in a few cases. For example, Slough: |slaʊ| American English, slough |slaʊ| British English. So the question is: is it a mistake to pronounce the word like this? Thank you!

  • @tomrox8921

  • @dammitanothername
    @dammitanothername 7 місяців тому

    no. regarding phonetic spellings in other languages. Romance languages have phonetic spellings, but some w/ a few rules. We don't have 'lewis vouitton', it's 'lewie vouitton'. So what is the pronunciation for: 愛 ? A better way to think of this is we can see how to either say, or know what is, a word. I know what 愛 is because I learned kanji. A chinese speaking/writing person likely knows what the intended meaning is but may not be able to say it in japanese. This is what Alfred K meant by either knowing a word (by reading), or knowing how to say (but not knowing what it is) by reading. You get one or the other, knowing meaning or knowing pronunciation, but not usually both. The problem w/ English is we beat up other languages and steal words from them. All ough and augh words are likely from another language. My guess is early germanic. When it's 'inside a word' it is an infix.
