  • Hi, everybody my name is Alisha and today we're going to be talking about ten of the

  • hardest words to pronounce according to you guys. So we collected some

  • information from you on facebook, thanks very much for sending in your ideas, and

  • these are the top 10 most difficult words for you to pronounce. So let's get started!

  • absolutely

  • might be tough to pronounce. Absolutely means 100%.

  • Absolutely is an agreement phrase. Are you going to that music event next week?

  • Absolutely. Yes, 100%, definitely. Absolutely. "lute" like a lute, LUTE.

  • begrime

  • apparently means dirty, I've never heard nor use this word before, but

  • perhaps it's difficult to pronounce. Begrime.

  • The door to my apartment was begrimed in the storm last week.

  • Breakfast, the next word is breakfast. Breakfast is hard to pronounce, but that

  • is the meaning of breakfast. You're breaking the fast, so fast is a period of

  • time without eating, and to break means to, well in this case, breaking something

  • it doesn't refer to, like, crushing a think, but stopping something, to break

  • the fast of the night, in other word. So you're fasting during the night, you're

  • not eating, so you wake up in the morning you break the fast. But we don't say "break fast,"

  • we say breakfast. In a sentence, this morning for breakfast I ate a bowl of

  • cereal with grapes, and I had a coffee too.

  • Colleague

  • Yes, colleague, many

  • of my students struggle with this, they say coLLEAgue, or they say calleaGUE

  • or something because the spelling of this world is really really strange, there's that

  • GUE at the end. Or more commonly I feel just co-worker, colleagues sounds slightly

  • more formal to me than co-worker. Somebody who you work with, or somebody

  • who you have a business relationship with, in some sense. Could be a person

  • from another company, could be somebody from your own company.

  • Anyone who you do business dealings with is your colleague, can be your colleague.

  • In a sentence, I'm going

  • to a networking event with my colleagues next week.

  • Miscellaneous. That MISC, miscellaneous, so it's just the spelling I think

  • maybe it's confusing for this word, miscellaneous. Miscellaneous just means

  • other stuff, or just other uncategorized stuff. I keep a lot of miscellaneous

  • items in a drawer in my house. Maybe they don't really fit into one

  • category like it's not kitchen thing, it's not clothing, it's just sort of a mixture

  • of things, miscellaneous things.

  • Negotiation. The next word is negotiation.

  • Negotiation. yeah there are two T's in this, but neither T is a hard T,

  • they're both very soft that "sh-sh" sound, because they're followed by the "i" and another

  • vowel, the TIA, negotiation. Negotiation refers to a compromise

  • between two people, you're trying to make a decision and you negotiate. In this

  • case, it's the noun form, negotiation.

  • Business negotiations continued for more than a month with this important deal.

  • Realm

  • I see why this one's hard, because of that REALM

  • part, the of EALM, it's a weird word isn't it did you talk about. Just like

  • the kind of a fantasy world, a sort of the nuances of this phrase the realm.

  • In a sentence,

  • let us go to the realm where the elves live and eat their bread.

  • Unfortunately

  • The next word is unfortunately. Unfortunately. Unfortunately just means

  • too bad. you can use this to to start bad news, for example, unfortunately I can't

  • come to work today because I'm sick. Or unfortunately I broke my arm at the

  • basketball game last week. Or unfortunately my haircut is bad.

  • Vocabulary

  • vocabulary just refers to the

  • words in a language. My vocabulary in my second language is really really low.

  • I need a bigger vocabulary so that I can express myself more clearly.

  • World

  • ah I see why this one's hard. World, world. Hard to pronounce that RLD, I think together is

  • tough, plus that W at the beginning as well. Such a short word but you have to say so many weird

  • things the same time. World, your tongue is going like this.

  • In a sentence, I have traveled all over the world and the best food is in...

  • my stomach.

  • That's the end! So those are 10 hard to pronounce words. Give them a try slowly at first and just

  • gonna try to work up to saying it at a more natural speed if you like. Thank you so much for

  • sharing your opinions with us on Facebook, and please make sure to

  • subscribe to our channel so you don't miss out on any of this fun information. So

  • thanks again for watching today and we'll see you again next time, bye!

  • You don't need new shoes you need new feet.
