ones have a certain guide thanks to the alphabet to know how, but mostly the pronunciation are different so
which is the method to know how to pronunciate as a native speaker when you are learning new words?
Hi, I've been speaking English for a long time but today I realized I couldn't pronounce the word "English" properly.
My previous post: https://www.reddit.com/r/EnglishLearning/comments/111mxxl/how_to_pronounce_the_word_english/
Please help me. Apparently, it sounds like "Englesh" to native speakers. Thank you so much!!!!
You don't. It's simply not possible, and the best you can do is guess. This problem affects native speakers as well, and there is no way around it. For instance, my sister used to think "scourge" was pronounced like "courage" with an s on the front.
If you know the word, you can go to http://dictionary.cambridge.org and you write the word and press the US audio symbol and you will hear how to pronounce it. For example, I look to leather: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/es/diccionario/ingles/leather But let me say you that English is different to other languages like Spanish, there is not a way to know how to pronounce it only by looking at the word. In Spanish there are rules named "Agudas" "Graves" and "Esdrujulas" that you can look at a word and know where is the accent, but in English you need to know it because of the pronunciation.
