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...

I started life with a lot of medical difficulties, one of which was hearing, and once they fixed my hearing I got to have speech therapy for the first eight years of my life. I was taught to look at words critically, and just because a word was spelled a certain way doesn’t mean it would be pronounced the way it was spelled. 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.

I can't believe so many claimed to be able to pronounce that Greek word. And a Greek (Grecian?) wrote in to say the given pronunciation was wrong. With co-opted foreign words, should you pronounce them as in their original way or according to English normal pronunciation? Entrepreneur is the most often mispronounced in various areas, enTROPeneur is the South African version.

I guessed the following four words wrong. 🙂 KEE-noh-uh (wrong stress) in-DIKT (spelling pronunciation, this time with correctly placed stress) IGH-uh-tuh (wrong stress and also reduced the second syllable) ZAHT-see-kee (I guessed the fist ‹tz› sequence would be as in ‹tzar›, but it turns out it’s as in ‹tsetse fly› which also can have the first ‹s› dropped, unlike ‹tzar› or even ‹tsunami› were it’s the first ‹t›)

I am a native speaker and got 15/15ish. I pronounce February as Feb RUE ary because my third grade teacher insisted. I'm not totally convinced it's correct now. My biggest problem word is quixotic. Like you I had a bad school experience, reading around and trying to pronounce it as Kwix.

Thank you for adding the word February. I confess I mispronounced it more often than not. I was hoping you would have added Wednesday as well. We Americans pronounce it more like Wenzday as a shortcut. Thanks for the lessone.

Just discovered your channel. I got 14 of 15 correct. I aced 13, but stumbled on quinoa, although I gave myself a pass on it, because you did say that pronouncing it as keen 'no wah would be acceptable, and that would have been my attempt. I had no clue on tzatziki--I'm from the American South, and I have never tasted that, or even seen the word. Thank you.

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!

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 .
