If we're gonna be pedantic it's 'wrongly' - not 'wrong'.

[@raindancer6111]

Also it's American English.

[@AttilatheNun-xv6kc]

​@raindancer6111 Many Americans are adverbially challenged (which they'd express as "adverbial challenged").

[@vanettevanhuyssteen5548]

Not pedantic. Just correct. Pronounce correctly, or wrongly. If you want to teach English, do it properly, or get lost.

[@vanettevanhuyssteen5548]

​@@raindancer6111Don't Americans use adverbs?

[@sewlovemydogs]

[@user-cp2bo3zm9s]

1:38, let me explain. The word colonel came to English from Italian (colonelo), but pronunciation is actually taken from French word coronelle. So it's a hybrid, such a situation is typical of English. The most interesting thing, that later, French borrowed the word colonello from Italian, and stopped using their own word coronello.

[@stefanhelbig8726]

Historically from the French 😊

[@asangman8745]

It's difficult for non native speakers to use the correct pronunciation. In India it even varies according to region. As a student of English literature and now a teacher, I struggle a lot. Such videos are quite helpful.

[@polyglotl9939]

"Colonel" is pronounced in such a way because it is an alteration of coronel, from Middle French, modification of Old Italian colonnello column of soldiers, colonel, diminutive of colonna column, from Latin columna. Thanks a lot 🙏🏻

[@AccurateEnglish]

Thank you for that explanation.

[@polyglotl9939]

[@joseabad-olaya544]

Thanks for the lesson. It helps a lot in improving our pronunciation and making it accurate. The pronunciation of "increase" varies depending on whether it is treated as a noun or as a verb. Keep up the great work.

[@coyotech55]

Entrepreneur ... I'm a native speaker and I wasn't sure of that one! It's hard for us, too. I wish it hadn't caught on so much!

[@margaretlane7402]

It's pronounced as the French word which it is.

[@coyotech55]

@@margaretlane7402 Right. It's French. I'm not, so I find it hard to pronounce, as did one of the sample speakers 🙂

[@flaviooliveira6999]

I have an idea why colonel is spoken with an “R” and not with “L“ interesting in my native language (Brazilian Portuguese) we say “coronel” also meaning a senior military officer, and it’s not a random coincidence I searched the etymology of colonel: [Alteration of obsolete coronel, from French, from Old Italian colonello, from diminutive of colonna, column of soldiers, from Latin columna, column.

[@AccurateEnglish]

Thank you for that explanation. Very interesting!

[@RomeliaGomez-Calmell7934]

In Spanish we said coronel too!

[@zsb707]

My pronunciation would have gone awry if I hadn't watched this lesson.

[@angelamurphy9472]

Cuba is a Spanish word which is pronouncedC-oo-ba (Cuba). In English it’s C-you-ba like she said. So it’s not incorrect to pronounce it the Spanish way.

[@EuclidesTiofeCo-me8fq]

Thanks for this one I didn't even know some of these words😅

[@billjenkins2174]

I got everyone right! They were easy. You mentioned French once or twice. A lot of the words we use every day come from the French language.

[@saharhamzei116]

So useful! I would like to suggest to add a short quiz at the end, just as your other vides. The quiz part is my favorite one. It gives me the idea of self evaluation and makes me focus while listening.

[@chrishartbauer1652]

Pronouncing "incorrectly" (adverb) not "wrong" (adjective).

[@nikolaipoendaev]

“wrong” can be a noun, a verb, an adjective, and an adverb.

[@lowellhendrix7889]

the adverb would be "wrongly" ?
