English Pronunciation | 5 Ways to Pronounce The Letter X

👉 How many ways can you pronounce X in English? I made this video so you could learn how to pronounce the letter X perfectly. It's quite a difficult letter to pronounce correctly in English because there are up to 5 ways it can be pronounced and sometimes even native speakers of English can't decide which pronunciation to use!

👉 This English Pronunciation lesson also includes lots of practice with X tongue twisters...(note: the tongue twisters have no real meaning, but are simply for practicing the pronunciation of the letter x in different sentences).

👉 In this English Pronunciation lesson we will also learn how to pronounce the X in words like EXIT where some native speakers use the pronunciation ECKSIT and others use EGGSIT.

👉 Hopefully by the end of this lesson you will have truly mastered pronunciation of the Letter X in English. Good luck!

👉 This lesson has CHAPTERS so you can SKIP to the part you need to learn most.

James, I'm Brazilian and I say that with your three times repetition of your target tong twisters, it's vertually impossible not to learn English! Congratulations, teacher. Just keep up the fine work and success will certainly be assured! We're just waiting for the end of the alphabet in order to pay you a real big coffee!

Thank you very much James, these trainings sell for fifty to $100 per hour in many countries. And they are not of this quality, you are doing this for the benefit of humanity, it makes our work easier, we can access it from anywhere because we have to learn the language in order to improve our business. You provide this service very much everywhere. You present it to us in a sincere, professional and sincere manner. Thank you very much.

[rosacuore]

Example of a sentence using the first six words 🤔: I expect to expand my English vocabulary skills in a couple of months, without any excuse to exclaim that I haven’t had enough time to learn it to an extent. Well..! I’m not sure if this long sentence 😂 it is accurate, but I gave it a shot.
Thanks for the video!
