Koreans Try To Pronounce Most Difficult English Words Ever!

[@ashtonjames2882]

I’m going to be honest, I didn’t know how to pronounce “quay.” Never heard that word before so I was shocked at the correct pronunciation

I've never said Kee for Quay, it's always been kway.

I believe the pronunciation they use is British English. I have only ever pronounced it as kway in the US. And if someone said “kee” without any context I would not know they weren’t talking about keys. lol

To be fair, in British English it is pronounced “MIS-cha-vus” and in American English it is “miss-CHEE-vee-us”. Similar deal with words like “Al-loo-MIN-ee-um” and “uh-LOOM-ih-num”.

[@BlackSmokeDMax]

I believe that is from a spelling error that is very, very common. Very often the word is mis-spelled as mischievious with an extra i near the end. Or even more likely it is spelled wrong due to us mis-pronouncing it.

Also, as someone who has lived in different parts of the USA as well as the UK, I do think dialect does have an effect here in which case it would be very difficult to claim that one pronunciation is "better" or more "correct" than another.

[@jessicashelden1244]

It's funny that they added "colloquial" because it and dialect explain why both Heejae and Byungeun were right when pronouncing "Mischievous". Many English words can be pronounced differently depending on the region someone is from. I have heard words like mischievous, crayon, milk, egg, yolk, and even toilet pronounced differently depending on who is speaking. Some of the words they included like Quay and Maneuverability aren't colloquial, so many Americans probably wouldn't use or recognize them. A lot of English pronunciation comes from the way we form our mouths to make the sounds. It's why Heejae was having trouble pronouncing Squirrel because she was trying to roll her r's, which isn't the way a native speaker would try and form the sound. And at the beginning of Squirrel it would be more like the way we form the letter "w". Either way they did a good job considering neither of them is actively learning English.

[@Zoë_N77]

Lots of English-speakers do pronounce Mischievous like "Mis-Chee-Vee-Ous" so he I'd say they were both right on that one. And I definitely think Byungeum was closer on some of the earlier ones than Heejae but he kept getting hit instead 😂

@Karl with a K it's personal* not personnel. It doesn't seem like you speak English. Otherwise, you would have heard it pronounced that way.

@Karl with a K personnel is a group of people. So, the use of personnel is incorrect. You must mean "professional" or "work". Any other word than personnel.

[@EyesOfTruth-ix2ki]

@Karl with a K Yes I have. The fact that you actually think people do not pronounce and/or say the word makes me think you are not American. If you haven't heard anyone say the word "mischievous" around you, the people you are around have a very limited vocabulary. And you clearly don't know what personnel means if you truly meant personnel. Personnel: people employed in an organization or engaged in an organized undertaking such as military service. Personal: of, affecting, or belonging to a particular person rather than to anyone else. Funny how you tried to correct two people, and was wrong. Like how are you going to tell me what words I use in my vocabulary?

Heejae actually said colloquial earlier for the word sixth, although in Korean, but then asks what the word is when it comes up lol. Maybe try words like Dough, Rough, Sought, Thought, Sugar ones that are pronounced quite different then their spelling. I think videos like this are good to help learn English, they can relax and have a little fun with it and not have to worry about being embarrassed if they say something wrong to an actual English speaking person. The best way to learn it is by doing it, you can read the words all day long but if you don't speak them you won't learn them. My advice if you want to learn English, especially pronunciation is to go talk with an English speaking person, most will be more than happy to help you out, and can give you tips to help you with your pronunciation. Just don't be embarrassed to make a mistake, it's expected because English isn't your 1st language and people you talk to know this, if they correct you it's not to embarrass or put you down for trying, they are only doing it to help you to say things properly. Just a little tip, try sticking to 1 type of English speaking person, American, British, Australian, etc... are different.

Put the tip of your tongue in between your teeth with just a tiny bit of space between your teeth and tongue, then blow air lightly out of your mouth. That is how you create the "TH" sound. 스잌+th choir - 크와여 colloquially - 카록귀알리 maneuverability - 만우버라빌리타 squirrel - 스크워를 mischievous - 미스치비어스 / 미스츠버스 Both are correct!

It’s usually due to our phonics being difficult to accurately translate into the proper pronunciation in Korean. There are a lot of movements within the mouth and tongue that you can’t translate. such as saying the word banana, which in Korean it is still romanised as Ba-na-na (바나나) but the pronunciation is different, it’s more like “bah-Nah-nah) but even that isn’t what it’s fully sounds like because of small differences within placements of tongue on the back of the teeth in Korean makes the n softer…. there isn’t really any accurate equivalent is what I’m trying to get at.

i'm fluent in english and even i didn't know how to say colloquially .. i didn't even know that was a word 😭

[@BlackHoleSpain]

Haven't you even heard of "colloquium" (conversation, debate, conference, dialogue, discussion...) ?????

[@Kat-ki6vp]

I'm English, but one or two of those words......well done for trying 👏 they weren't easy at all.

[@973Romeo]

"Manoeuverability" was tricky, because it was the Canadian/British spelling. In the States, we spell it: "Maneuverability", without the letter "o". English words are pronounced differently depending on which country you live in.

[@BlackSmokeDMax]

Yeah, that was weird, seeing that spelling with an apparent American accent for pronunciation.

[@Smiggles223]

They did really well tbh, they answered very quickly so they must have some recognition of English letters

[@gmv12345]

This proves once again that English is senseless in terms of pronunciation.

All the years of my life I’ve never heard of 3 and 4. It’s making me second guess if English was my first language

[@peggy4908]

Both of them got mischievous right! There are just two ways people pronounce it

[@L.l.I.ia_N]

But it not necessarily mean they are right. Because that actually wrong.

Am I the only one who thinks Byungeun's thinking face is really hot? Just me? I'll go back to my corner now and cry.

[@rockinchik06]

To be fair....a lot of English words are derived from Latin, French, and old English. Blame the Europeans! 😆 jk

[@Dabsteras]

onomatopoeia is a greek word , onoma=name poeia=making, literally tranlates in english to name making, creating names. ...hello from Greece

[@abby9435]

It's also used as an English Subject term for sound effects like "boom" "pow" "bang" in literary techniques

[@tafsterj7555]

How about..."Hilarious"; as in, Heejae is hilarious when she tries too pronounce English words!! I could watch Heejae do this for hours...she's so funny!!

[@miZ_dream]

them messing up on squirrel reminds me of myself when trying to say _sucre._ that word messes me up so much PSHSJSB

[@marmarz3048]

2:48 I CAN'T EVEN PRONOUNCE IT HOW DO YOU EXPECT THEM TO 💀✋🏻

[@lilchimchim8400]

Nah the third word at 2:33 got me questioning my English too

Mischievous can be pronounced both ways. You were both correct.

[@VinikaT]

Great upload 👍 thanks for sharing

[@lilmshavok7297]

I'm honestly impressed they managed to pronounce our letters right, And some of the words. Despite it being easy for us, they haven't grown up in an English dominated environment, so these are totally new. Mad respect for knowing 1 and ½ languages.
