My (IMPOSSIBLE) English Pronunciation Test 😱 (ONLY 3% PASS THIS TEST!!)

The hardest English pronunciation test that I've ever created (for fun, of course! 😊). This video explains the most commonly mispronounced words in English by English learners, including iron, weird, women vs woman, and many more. The words in this video become increasingly difficult with each level. I explain these difficult words and how to pronounce them in British English-Modern RP (but I also explain General American English and British English-RP variations). How many did YOU get correct?

I teach using just one of many accents in the world. Please only learn it if you like it and if you are interested in learning it. I do not believe there is one “correct” accent or manner of pronunciation and I fully encourage EFL/ESL learners to expose themselves to as many varieties of English around the world to become accustomed to the beautiful variations of this world language. I focus mostly on teaching “Modern RP” (I may just say “RP” in my older videos, but to clarify, I do specifically mean “Modern RP”), however, you will hear a lovely little Yorkshire twang to my accent from time to time too. Please LOVE and BE PROUD of your accent. After all, it is part of your identity and makes you unique. 💚

American speaker here from the Midwest. We tend to be a little harder with our "r" sounds. Especially in the Chicago area. So for the word "iron", we would say it like
"eye-urn". And for "weird" you would definitely hear the "r" sound. Like "weir d". And for "clothes", you would most likely hear It pronounced as "cloze". Hang up your cloze. But we also have many regional dialects. I have a family member from Kentucky. With the word "oil"...I would say it as having 2 syllables "oi l" as in rhyming with "foil", whereas she pronounces it as 1 syllable like "foal" but leaving the "f" off. I love language and how we are all so unique. Great channel and videos!

My English pronunciation has been substantially improved since January when I first started to watch your lessons. It helped me through my IELTS exam as well.
For today, I could pronounce each and every one except the Quinoa which I heard for the first time today.
I OWE YOU A BIG APPRECIATION, EMMA. Thanks for helping us being better at English 🥰

I live in England and haven't learned English for a long time. I talk to people in my language over and over again, I decided to learn English and quickly got bored and gave up. I'm tired of always working at the lowest level just because I don't know this language. And with you for the first time in a long time, my hopes rose and I started listening to you and taking notes every day. I wish I had the opportunity to take private lessons from you. I want this so badly that I can't describe it in words. If I was your student, listening to my English would be enchanted. Let your expression and beautiful energy shine through your teal eyes, you radiate energy Emma. Good luck and stay with us always Emma!

Thanks⚘

I am studying English and have a sounds class for uni in my first semester in which we are learning IPA phonemic transcription. The way you always include the transcription in your videos is super helpful to me, cause I'm transcribing along when trying the test and always have reliable solutions to check my results :) Thank you so much!

[ayushsinghs]

[md.mominulislam]

The pronunciation of almost all of the words is familiar to me. I watch your videos regularly and attentively. Your videos are greatly helping me to understand the pronunciation of native speakers. Keep making these kinds of videos. You are one of my favorite teachers. Best of luck.

[abdullah-al-jubayer]

I didn't make any mistake to pronounce the words you showed in the video.. I got the opportunity to jugde my english pronunciation again because of you. Thank you Emma for the wonderful content. I always wait on Friday to see your new video

[mihaihorezeanu]

Very nice video! Granted, some words are trickier than others. Most of my Romanian students mispronounce "iron". Perhaps an effective way of dealing with the RP triphthong here is by analogy with "lion", which they always get right.

[islamadam]

I have never seen the word Quinoa before so I went to Spanish pronunciation and it worked! 🤠

[romeojunier]

It all was very difficult for me because I'm not real English speaker but over all a good lesson learned from a versatile sweet and beautiful teacher actually Emma your expression are affected and take yours lesson in my mind
