Ok I’m a native English speaker, or as much as someone from Northern Ireland can be, but I found my pronunciation deteriorating the more I looked at the words. At first glance I could pronounce the words, if I didn’t think about things and had a sort of run at it. Then when I started to read things out syllable by syllable everything became suddenly disconnected and I lost myself amongst the weeds. This all makes me even more impressed by those that have English as a second (or third) language!

I got all 15 correct - but then I am a 76 year old Brit who had pronunciation drummed into me in Grammar School - AND spelling - AND grammar! The word ‘iota’ is also Greek. It’s the name of a Greek letter - the equivalent of ‘i’. It is often just written as a dot hence it has become symbolic of the smallest possible quantity.

In my opinion, the (12) "Iota" should be prononced as it is. It's a latin word (coming from the greek) [yota or eeota] so you should prononce it good like you do for "Alpha" "Omega" etc...

Sort of an early critical thinking regarding the English language! 😂

As a native English speaker I find that when a learner speaks, I can understand them when they accent/emphasise the word on the correct syllable. This is much more important than almost any other aspect of pronunciation in my experience. Of course the problem is that there is no rule that tells us which is the correct syllable to emphasise! The only way to know is to hear the word or see where the stress is in a dictionary.

English speakers speak english as they want. They pronounce a simple word like "bus" as they want depending the day of the week. Same with "bath" and many others. That's why they always ask you: ¿Could you spell it for me, please? I asked many People in the UK ¿How should I pronounce this surname? Or this Village? And they told me " I dont know, I've never heard it before". Amazing. In Spain everybody know how to pronounce every single word even if you've never seen that word.

Native german here, learned english in school and i often had detention because my english teacher hated me for some unknown reason..... so i had a lot of time going through the words plus cable-tv came to german households with american channels that were broadcast, mostly news and game shows and later on during my workeducation a schoolmate showed me an english shop in my city where you could buy food, books, movies and all other kinds if stuff from the UK. Because they rented out movies as well we were often there and i started consuming all kinds of books in english as well through which i learned a lot more than through school, all kinds of idioms and all those things no english teacher will ever teach you. So this here wasn't that challenging. I still wouldn't say my english pronounciation is "amazing" but if i wouldn't tell you where i'm from, you'd probably have a hard time guessing.

As an educated native English speaker, I was relieved to get them all right. I was puzzled by February. Many people in North America leave out the first r and substitute a y sound as you suggested, but you leave out an entire syllable when you say ry instead of ary!

I previously pronounced it ath-let but now I know it should be ath-leet. Thank you!

14/15 correct. I'm from the U.S. and have always felt that had excellent pronunciation skills, but I don't pronounce the first "r" in February 🌝

About 8/15, it's hard to count because of proud mispronuntiation, both mine and shared with our host! Greetings from Brazil

All of them. Was a spelling champ in high school and love challenging words.

I love your videos and often share them with my friends. Among them there's one who teaches English literature in a university in India and I'm sure she loves your channel too. I didn't know two of the words but I did get all the rest right.

Tricky words , Lucy , my results not to write home about ,.. about 50 % wrong , and I have to play this video over and over to better my pronounciation . BTW , I really appreciate the good American style tips , Bringing back some memories words pronounced by my former American students here, teaching them ( Dutch and Latin based) medical jargon , in the Netherlands a few years ago .
