00:05	Class 11 dot com . Hi everybody . My name
00:08	is Alicia and today we're gonna be talking about 10
00:10	of the hardest words to pronounce according to you guys
00:13	. So we collected some information from you on facebook
00:15	. Thanks very much for sending in your ideas .
00:17	And these are the top 10 most difficult words for
00:21	you to pronounce . So let's get started . Absolutely
00:24	. Absolutely . Absolutely . Might be tough to pronounce
00:27	. Absolutely means 100% absolutely is uh an agreement phrase
00:32	. Are you going to that music event next week
00:34	? Absolutely , yes . 100% definitely . Absolutely loot
00:39	like a lute , L U T B grime .
00:44	The grime . Apparently it means dirty , I've never
00:47	heard nor use this word before but perhaps it's difficult
00:51	to pronounce . The grime . The door to my
00:53	apartment was big rhymed in the storm . Last week
00:57	breakfast the next word is breakfast . Breakfast is hard
01:01	to pronounce , but that is the meaning of breakfast
01:03	. You're breaking the fast so fast is a period
01:05	of time without eating . And to break means to
01:08	well in this case breaking something , it doesn't refer
01:11	to like crushing thing , but stopping something to break
01:16	the fast of the night . In other words ,
01:19	so your fasting during the night , you're not eating
01:21	. So you wake up in the morning , you
01:22	break the fast . But we don't say break fast
01:24	. We say breakfast in a sentence this morning for
01:26	breakfast , I ate a bowl of cereal with grapes
01:31	and I had a coffee too , colleague , colleague
01:34	. Yes , colleague . Many of my students struggle
01:37	with this . They say colleague or they say colleague
01:40	, you or something because the spelling of this word
01:42	is really , really strange . There's that G .
01:44	U . E . At the end or more commonly
01:46	, I feel it's just coworker . Colleague sounds slightly
01:49	more formal to me than co worker . Somebody who
01:51	you work with or somebody who you have a business
01:54	relationship with in some sense , could be a person
01:56	from another company . Could be somebody from your own
01:59	company . Anyone who you do business dealings with is
02:01	your colleague can be your colleague in a sentence .
02:04	I'm going to a networking event with my colleagues next
02:08	week . Miscellaneous . That missy miscellaneous . It's just
02:14	the spelling . I think maybe it's confusing for this
02:16	word . Miscellaneous . Miscellaneous just means other stuff .
02:20	Or just other un categorized stuff . I keep a
02:23	lot of miscellaneous items in a drawer in my house
02:27	. Maybe they don't they don't really fit into one
02:29	category . Like it's not kitchen things , it's not
02:32	clothing , it's just sort of a mixture of things
02:35	. Miscellaneous things , negotiation . The next word is
02:39	negotiation , negotiation . Yeah . There are two teas
02:42	in this but neither T . Is a hard T
02:44	. They're both very soft that she should sound because
02:46	they're followed by the eye . And another valve that
02:48	she a negotiation negotiation refers to a compromise between two
02:54	people . You're trying to make a decision and you
02:56	negotiate . In this case this is a noun form
02:59	, negotiation . Business negotiations continued for more than a
03:02	month with this important deal realm realm . I see
03:07	why this one's hard . It's that Rome part little
03:09	realm . It's a weird word , isn't it ?
03:12	It's used to talk about just like kind of a
03:14	fantasy world is sort of the nuance of this phrase
03:16	. The realm in a sentence . Let us go
03:18	to the realm where the elves live and eat their
03:23	bread . Unfortunately the next word is unfortunately unfortunately unfortunately
03:30	just means too bad . You can use this to
03:33	start bad news . For example . Unfortunately I can't
03:36	come to work today because I'm sick or unfortunately I
03:39	broke my arm at the basketball game last week .
03:42	Or unfortunately my haircut is bad vocabulary vocabulary vocabulary ,
03:50	vocab , fuck ambulatory vote can be a gallery vocabulary
03:57	vocabulary just refers to the words in a language .
04:02	My vocabulary in my second language is really really low
04:05	. I need a bigger vocabulary so that I can
04:07	express myself more clearly . World world . Ah I
04:12	see why this one's hard . World world hard to
04:15	pronounce that are L . D . I think together
04:17	is tough . Plus that w at the beginning as
04:20	well it's such a short word but you have to
04:21	say so many weird things at the same time world
04:25	your tongue is going the like this in a sentence
04:29	. I have traveled all over the world and the
04:32	best food is in my stomach That's the end .
04:37	So those were 10 hard to pronounce words . Give
04:40	them a try slowly at first and just kind of
04:43	try to work up to saying at a more natural
04:46	speed if you like . Thank you so much for

11:20	Here I go . Hi everybody . My name is
11:22	Alicia . Welcome back to top words . Today .
11:24	We're gonna be talking about 10 phrases that make you
11:27	look like a fool . Hopefully you never use them
11:30	. Let's start . I don't need to learn anything
11:32	anymore . I don't need to learn anything anymore .
11:35	If you say this , you sound like I know
11:37	all the information ever . I'm done learning . I'm
11:40	done studying . Of course you need to learn .
11:41	Of course you need to study . Please don't say
11:43	this phrase . I don't need your advice . I
11:46	don't need your advice . I don't need your advice
11:49	. You sound like you don't appreciate what they're saying
11:51	. You sound like you don't want to hear anything
11:53	from them . I really think that you need to
11:55	be studying more . I'm concerned about your grades ,
11:57	Jeff . I don't need your advice mom . I
12:00	know everything , I know everything . This is awful
12:03	. Nobody wants to hear you say this because it's
12:05	just not true . Are you ready for the test
12:07	next week ? Steve ? Yeah , I'm good .
12:10	I know everything . They don't I'm not ready to
12:13	learn english . I'm not ready to learn english .
12:17	You can study anything at any time . Pretty much
12:20	. I really think that you should start studying english
12:22	before your trip to America next year . No ,
12:25	I don't think I'm ready to start learning english .
12:28	See how stupid that sounds more new york . I'm
12:33	right and you're wrong , I'm right and you're wrong
12:35	. You sound awful when you say there's nobody likes
12:39	to hear that they've made a mistake and that you're
12:41	happy about that . That's what the nuance of this
12:43	phrase is . I'm right , you're wrong . Don't
12:45	say this phrase unless you're very very close with the
12:48	other person and you know that it's okay to joke
12:50	together , I'm right , you're wrong . It's too
12:53	hard . Don't even try , it's too hard .
12:56	Don't even try . This sounds like you're giving up
12:59	before you've even started doing something . If you don't
13:02	try you never know . Right ? Hey , I
13:04	think I'm going to start studying english this week because
13:06	I'm going to Canada next year . What do you
13:09	think ? Don't even try it's way too hard .
13:11	Really . You think it's too hard ? Mm Okay
13:15	. I guess I won't don't do that . Just
13:18	do what I say . Just do what I say
13:21	. Just do what I say . Parents might use
13:23	this phrase a lot with their Children actually . But
13:26	if you say this to your friends or to your
13:27	colleagues , you're gonna sound like a really mean or
13:30	difficult to work with person . Just do what I
13:32	say . We can't do that . The next phrase
13:36	is we can't do that . This could also be
13:37	changed to , I can't do that again . This
13:40	sounds like you're giving up before you even tried to
13:42	do something . I can't do that . You're just
13:44	, you're not prepared or you're not even willing to
13:46	try . Hey stevens . Do you think that you
13:48	could take care of this report for next week ?
13:50	We need it for our client meeting ? No ,
13:52	I don't think I can do that . No ,
13:54	that's that's not my job . That's not my responsibility
13:56	. You're not very smart . You're not very smart
13:59	. That's not a nice thing to say . If
14:00	someone makes a mistake and you say , oh ,
14:03	you're not very smart . That's so mean . It's
14:05	so rude . Everybody makes mistakes from time to time
14:08	. Don't tell them that they're stupid . Don't say
14:10	you're not very smart . That's hurtful . And an
14:12	example of what not to do . I'm so so
14:15	sorry about this mistake that I made in my report
14:18	last week . I'll fix it . I promise I'll
14:19	fix it and I'll send it to you right away
14:21	. I can't believe you made such a simple mistake
14:23	. You're not very smart , are you ? Everybody
14:27	makes mistakes . You'll never succeed . You'll never succeed
14:31	. You'll never succeed . This is a phrase that
14:33	shows you're not supporting the other person and maybe you're
14:37	even trying to hold them back . How awful is
14:39	that ? Who would say that ? Don't say that
14:41	. I hope no one ever says this to you
14:44	. I'm gonna join a marathon race next summer .
14:46	I can't wait a marathon . You're never gonna succeed
14:49	with that . Do you know how hard those are
14:51	? Have you even started training ? Well , no
14:54	, but I think I can do it . I
14:55	just need a few months and you know , I
14:57	need to take care of myself and work hard .
14:59	No way . There's no way that you can do
15:01	that . It's not possible . Oh , you really
15:03	think so ? I was so looking forward to it
15:05	too . Thank goodness . That's the end . Oh
15:08	my gosh ! Those were some sad phrases . I
15:11	hope that nobody says those phrases to you . But
15:13	I hope also that you don't use these phrases with
15:16	other people because they're hurtful . Really try to be
15:19	positive . So thanks very much for joining us for
15:21	this lesson and we will see you again soon .
15:23	Bye . I'm very insecure about my acting abilities .
15:27	Well , there's sound coming through this . I love
15:32	the awkward pauses . Hi everybody , welcome back to
15:36	top words . My name is Alicia and today we're
15:38	going to talk about 10 different ways to remember words
15:41	. So these are actually um , some ways to
15:43	remember words that you have sent in to us .
15:46	So I'm really excited to see what your recommendations are
15:49	. I study other languages . So let's talk about
15:52	it . Let's see . I associate new words with
15:54	words that sound similar in my native language . If
15:57	you're studying english , um , your native language might
16:00	share some words . So like I'm studying japanese and
16:04	for example , the word chocolate sounds very , very
16:07	similar in , in japanese . So in english ,
16:10	the word is chocolate in japanese , the word is
16:12	chock Loreto , so it sounds similar . Um ,
16:15	so that's an easy word for me to remember .
16:17	I learned about the roots of words and how different
16:20	words are related to each other . Many words in
16:22	english have roots in very very old languages like latin
16:27	. So a word like omniscient for example can be
16:30	broken down into maybe two parts uh the omni omni
16:34	meaning all or everything and she ain't the she and
16:37	part relates to knowledge or knowing . So together the
16:40	word means all knowing omniscient . Maybe you can guess
16:44	the meaning even if it's the first time you've seen
16:46	the word . Okay I listen to songs and memorize
16:50	the lyrics . This is also a common way to
16:53	help kids learn things too through songs opposite to be
16:57	plus or minus the square root B squared minus four
17:00	. Is he all over to a it's a quadratic
17:02	function equation because it's a song it's still in my
17:05	head . Thank you Mrs Time . I often watch
17:09	T . V . Or Youtube videos that are designed
17:11	for young Children . That's how Children in the native
17:14	language learn . So it's a great tool for you
17:17	don't be embarrassed to do that . I do that
17:19	in english , we have Dora , the Explorer ,
17:21	we have sesame street . I speak as often as
17:24	possible with native speakers , a native speaker can go
17:27	up . That's that's a strange thing that you're saying
17:29	. So there are a lot of small factors that
17:31	you can't get unless you're speaking with a native speaker
17:34	. So this is a really really great tip .
17:36	If you're interested in doing this with us , we
17:39	have on english class one on one dot com ,
17:42	A special subscription which is called the elite level of
17:45	subscription where you get to actually study with one of
17:48	our teachers here . Um so if if you don't
17:51	have somebody that you can study with now that might
17:53	be a way to do it . Please check that
17:55	out . if you're interested . I try to use
17:58	the language routinely in the context of daily life ,
18:01	when you're alone , just doing stuff at home ,
18:04	like making breakfast or cooking or doing the laundry .
18:06	If you use the language just to say like now
18:09	I'm going to , I don't know , cut vegetables
18:12	or oh , I need to do laundry later today
18:14	or thinking about your appointment . Whatever Another good example
18:18	is really I put my phone into my target language
18:21	. You're telling little stories when you're having conversations with
18:24	people . So get used to telling yourself the story
18:27	. I use repetition , reading writing and speaking words
18:30	over and over again . Keep repeating in your studies
18:33	. Um , even if it feels like , you
18:35	know , you're not making any progress , you are
18:37	just just the act of doing that repetition can be
18:40	helpful for you . If a football player never throws
18:43	a football , he's not going to be able to
18:45	throw it very well , is he ? You have
18:47	to repeat , repeat , repeat . And then when
18:49	you're faced with the actual situation where you need to
18:52	throw the football , you need to use that vocabulary
18:55	word , you're ready . You already know how to
18:57	say the word . So yes , repeat . It's
18:59	good . I try to think in english , so
19:01	it becomes natural to my thought process . I do
19:04	this . I think about what I need to do
19:06	, I think about what I have done , I
19:08	think about what I'm going to do . Um and
19:10	so in that way you can practice past tense ,
19:12	future tense and present tense Recently . This has been
19:15	happening to me . I've started dreaming in japanese from
19:17	time to time or I dream bilingual . E it's
19:20	exciting . I think I tried to use the word
19:22	in a simple sentence so I learned whole phrases ,
19:24	not just individual words . Yes , this is a
19:27	huge tip . So vocabulary is important of course if
19:31	you don't know a keyword , you might miss the
19:33	meaning of something , but context is important too .
19:37	So there might be two words which seem very similar
19:39	like big and large for example . Um but when
19:42	should I use large ? When should I use big
19:44	? Like if your clothes shopping and you say do
19:47	you have this in a big size ? It might
19:49	not be the correct way to use the word instead
19:52	. Do you have this in a large size is
19:54	the correct phrase ? So learning how to use the
19:57	correct vocabulary word at the correct time is important and
20:00	you can do that through studying sentences and phrases instead
20:04	of just vocabulary . This is why reading is important
20:07	. I feel reading as much as possible , especially
20:10	the newspaper helps me to remember words when I was
20:13	a kid . I just read everything I was ,
20:15	I was so into reading . I loved it and
20:17	I think that it helped , it actually helped my
20:19	language skills improve even in my native language . Again
20:23	. At first it's really hard to do and you
20:24	might have to use a dictionary a lot , but
20:27	you'll learn gradually more natural speaking patterns , more natural
20:31	writing patterns to which will help you to sound more
20:33	natural when you speak . And maybe you can help
20:36	your listening skills to when you can listen for those
20:38	patterns that you see in textbooks that you see in
20:41	newspapers and novels , whatever . It's a great tool
20:44	. Reading and thank goodness that's the end . So
20:47	those are 10 tips that you can use to remember
20:50	new words and new phrases . Try them out .
20:52	I'm going to be doing my best with my target
20:54	language . I hope that you do to thank you
20:57	very much for watching . Please please please subscribe to
20:59	our channel if you have not already and we will
21:02	see you again soon for more exciting information by how
21:05	to the bathroom . Hi everyone . I'm Christine from
21:10	english Class 101 dot com . In this video ,
21:13	we'll be talking about how to curse like an english
21:16	native speaker , piss a slang term for urine .
21:20	For example , don't piss your pants . You can
21:25	say this when you're really scared or anxious . For
21:30	example , if you're about to go on stage to
21:34	make a speech or perform , someone can say ,
21:37	don't piss your pants , you can do it pissed
21:41	off to be really angry when I'm angry , I
21:46	can say , hey , I'm really pissed off at
21:48	you right now . Why did you do that for
21:51	loser ? Used to describe an uncalled person in high
21:56	school , my friends and I would use this a
21:58	lot and we would say , hey loser , how's
22:02	it going idiot ? Used to insult people by saying
22:06	they're not intelligent of all the mean things that you
22:09	can say , this is on the lighter side ,
22:12	but people still use it . Shoot , this is
22:16	used to show disappointment or frustration without using a stronger
22:20	curse word . Shoot , I spilled my coffee ,
22:23	shut up . You can use this when you want
22:26	them to be quiet or there's something surprising that you
22:31	just heard , you can say shut up . No
22:34	way ticked off to be really angry . You can
22:38	say this with pissed off . So this is actually
22:43	an older term . Not many people use this as
22:46	much anymore because most people actually just use pissed off
22:50	fool . This is similar to saying someone is like
22:53	a clown . You can say you're acting like a
22:56	fool right now jerk . This is a light insult
22:59	used to describe someone who is mean . For example
23:03	, if there's someone bullying another person , that person
23:07	is being a jerk whip . This means someone who
23:11	isn't strong . There is a movie out right now
23:16	called Diary of a Wimpy Kid . Have you seen
23:19	it ? Have you not ? I haven't yet .
23:22	So how was it ? If you have any more
23:24	questions , please leave a comment below . See you
23:27	next time . The most alopecia . That means we're
23:32	going to the movie theater . Right ? All right
23:37	, Hi everybody . My name is Alicia . Welcome
23:39	back to top words today we're gonna be talking about
23:42	must know expressions for agreeing and disagreeing . Very useful
23:46	. So let's go exactly exactly . When you agree
23:50	. 100% with something someone else has said , you
23:53	can say exactly . For example , ramen is one
23:56	of the best foods in the world . Exactly .
23:59	I don't agree . I don't agree . You have
24:01	a different opinion from the other person , they tell
24:04	you , I think that soccer is the best sport
24:06	you can say . I don't agree , but be
24:08	prepared to provide your own opinion after this . I
24:12	think soccer is the best sport . I don't agree
24:14	. I think that football is oh , that could
24:17	cause some problems . Soccer , Football americans say football
24:20	when we mean american football , but the rest of
24:22	the world says football when they mean soccer , maybe
24:26	maybe it's when you don't know when you can't make
24:29	a decision or when you're not sure about something .
24:32	Okay , so someone tosses you an opinion . Someone
24:34	says their , their idea to you . I think
24:37	it's gonna rain tomorrow . You can say yeah ,
24:38	maybe you don't know for sure yes or no ,
24:41	but it's possible It's a good sort of in between
24:44	expression . But if you use maybe all the time
24:46	it's gonna sound really strange and it's gonna sound like
24:49	you can't make a decision . So use may be
24:51	very sparingly . Don't use it so often . Maybe
24:54	is very commonly used as a soft . No ,
24:57	it's up to you to figure that out among the
24:59	people that you're talking to though . You want to
25:01	stay over at my house this weekend and maybe I
25:04	couldn't agree with you more . You are in complete
25:08	agreement with the other person and really want to communicate
25:11	that to them . You think that what they have
25:13	just said is really really correct . Super correct .
25:16	Yes . You are completely on board with that idea
25:20	. You can say I couldn't agree with you more
25:23	. I couldn't the negative form . I could not
25:25	agree with you more , meaning it's not possible that
25:29	I could agree more with what you're saying next week
25:33	. It's really important that we have a barbecue because
25:36	summer is ending . And then your friend can say
25:39	I couldn't agree more . That's a fantastic idea .
25:42	I'll buy steak . I think we're going to have
25:46	to agree to disagree , agree to disagree . This
25:50	is a kind of it seems like a simple phrase
25:53	. Agree to disagree . So you're agreeing with the
25:56	other person . You agree that we have a different
25:59	opinion , agree to disagree . I would use this
26:03	expression at the end of a discussion . So person
26:06	A . And person B . Have different opinions and
26:08	they've been discussing those opinions for a long time .
26:11	And person A . Is not changing his or her
26:14	opinion . Person B . Is not changing his or
26:16	her opinion . So you can say at the end
26:18	of the conversation , okay , we have to agree
26:20	to disagree . Let's just accept our different opinions and
26:25	move on in the conversation . You have a point
26:28	there . This is not necessarily a an agreement or
26:32	disagreement phrase . It's a small agreement within a larger
26:36	discussion . So maybe you've been discussing a topic for
26:39	a long time and you've disagreed with the other person
26:44	until this this time this person says something and you
26:48	agree with that . You have a point there .
26:50	So there is one thing that this person has said
26:53	that you can agree with . You can say you
26:55	have a point there . I think that's correct or
26:57	I agree with that point . That's exactly how I
27:00	feel . That's exactly how I feel , meaning .
27:04	My feeling is the same as your feeling or my
27:07	opinion is the same as your opinion . That's exactly
27:10	how I feel . Maybe you can use this .
27:12	If someone describes your feeling very accurately . For example
27:16	you can say I feel like the company is really
27:18	heading in a nice new direction . You can say
27:20	yeah that's exactly how I feel . I really like
27:23	the new boss . I don't think so . I
27:25	don't think so . It's soft , it's not so
27:29	direct , it's not a hard I disagree but just
27:32	I don't think so . Of course you can use
27:34	it to discuss opinions but you can also use it
27:36	when you're making plans . Are you going to that
27:39	party this weekend ? And I don't think so .
27:41	It's not a disagreement but it can be used as
27:43	a negation phrase and a negative response to something when
27:48	used as an opinion . I think chinese is the
27:50	hardest language to learn . You can say I don't
27:52	think so . I think that Arabic is the hardest
27:55	language to learn . Yes , you're right , yes
27:58	, you're right means you're correct . Yes , I
28:00	agree with you . I think that's the right information
28:02	. I think that's the correct opinion . Just a
28:04	very clear agreement phrase . You're right . It also
28:08	has the nuance of being correct . So maybe there
28:11	was there were there was a possibility the other person
28:14	could be incorrect . Did you know that pepperoni pizza
28:17	is the most delicious pizza in the world ? Yes
28:21	, you're right . You can change it to that's
28:23	right for that opinion . You can use your to
28:26	talk specifically about the person itself , but that's right
28:29	. Yes , that's right . That information is correct
28:32	. I guess so . I guess so . It's
28:34	an agreement but it's sort of a flaky agreement I
28:37	guess . So . It's like you don't really want
28:40	to make a decision but you don't feel strongly in
28:43	one like an agreement or disagreement , you can say
28:46	, I guess so . It's usually said with this
28:49	tone of voice I guess . So . You know
28:51	, we don't really say , I guess so .
28:52	Generally it's like you can't quite make a decision or
28:55	you don't want to make a decision . You can
28:58	say , I guess so . But hey , we're
28:59	gonna go for chinese food for dinner tonight , do
29:01	you wanna come ? Yeah , I guess so .
29:03	You don't feel strongly either way . I guess so
29:06	. I'm afraid I disagree . It's a rather polite
29:09	expression that you can use in a business situation for
29:11	example , I'm afraid here doesn't mean I'm actually scared
29:15	or I'm really frightened , but just it's a softener
29:18	that's used at the beginning of sentences to introduce a
29:20	negative opinion . So I'm afraid I disagree or I'm
29:24	afraid I can't agree with you . For example ,
29:26	I think that you need to adopt a new policy
29:28	for your company , I'm afraid I disagree . It's
29:31	a soft disagreement that sounds a bit more formal than
29:35	some of the other phrases we've talked about so far
29:37	. Absolutely , absolutely means 100% . Yes , exactly
29:41	, precisely , definitely . It's a quick and clear
29:44	and can be polite as well as casual , um
29:48	, word that means you agree with the other person
29:51	. Hey , do you want to go to the
29:52	beach this weekend ? Yeah , absolutely . Absolutely .
29:54	Oh , that's in . So those are some phrases
29:58	that you can use to agree and disagree with other
30:01	people . There are a lot of them . So
30:02	, and you can kind of mix and match them
30:04	as you see fit . So give them a try
30:07	. Thanks very much for watching this episode of Top

31:27	Hi everybody , welcome back to top words . My
31:29	name is Alicia and today we're going to talk about
31:32	10 mistakes that native English speakers make . So let's
31:36	get started . Less fewer . Okay , so the
31:41	first mistake that native speakers make is they confuse less
31:45	and fewer . Less and fewer are very similarly used
31:49	. However , there's a key grammar difference between them
31:53	. We use the word less to refer to Uncountable
31:56	Knowns a quantity of uncountable Knowns . We use fewer
32:01	for countable noun . So for example , to use
32:05	fewer , I could say I made fewer mistakes on
32:08	this test than I did on the last one .
32:10	And to use less , I could say I made
32:13	less money last year than I did this year .
32:15	So when you want to use when you want to
32:18	make a comparison with accountable . Now , when you
32:21	want to talk about a smaller quantity of something or
32:24	smaller amount of something uh with a countable . Now
32:28	you should use fewer if you're talking about an uncountable
32:32	now you should use less . So please be careful
32:35	. Less and fewer . Less . Uncountable , fewer
32:38	accountable . Your your the next pair is actually a
32:43	spelling related mistake . It's your and your . So
32:47	Y . Ou R . And Y . O .
32:49	U . Apostrophe R . E . Your is the
32:53	possessive like something that belongs to you , is yours
32:58	your item . Uh Why O . U . Apostrophe
33:01	R . E . Is the contracted form of you
33:04	are you are great , you are funny , you
33:06	are tired . For example native speakers often make spelling
33:10	mistakes because these two words sound the same but actually
33:14	they are grammatically different . So another example sentence .
33:18	Um your performance was really great . My parents think
33:22	you're great , my parents think you're great . So
33:25	here we have the apostrophe R . E . You're
33:28	so please be careful . Native speakers often make this
33:30	spelling mistake there . There there . Okay , so
33:36	the next mistake that many native speakers make is again
33:39	, a spelling related mistake . It's with the three
33:42	types of there . There is uh there as an
33:46	over there , a location , there's they're T H
33:50	E I R . The possessive form something belonging to
33:53	them and th E Y . Apostrophe R . E
33:58	. The contracted form of they are native speakers often
34:01	make spelling mistakes with these three words because they sound
34:05	the same . They're they're they're they all sound the
34:07	same , but in terms of grammar they have different
34:11	functions . So in an interesting sentence , you could
34:14	say they're in their car over there or they're over
34:17	there in their car so we can use all of
34:20	these words in the same sentence , but in order
34:24	to correctly express the meaning , we need to make
34:27	sure the spelling is correct . It's it's the next
34:32	one . The next mistake that many native speakers make
34:35	is a punctuation mistake usually . Uh the difference here
34:39	is between it's with an apostrophe and it's without an
34:42	apostrophe . So the word it's with an apostrophe can
34:47	be the contracted form of it is or it has
34:51	depending on the sentence , it's with no apostrophe just
34:54	means the possessive form of something . Um so something
34:58	which belongs to it , some it outside this discussion
35:02	. So um native speakers often forget which , which
35:06	one gets an apostrophe . Does the possessive get an
35:09	apostrophe or not ? So no , the possessive form
35:13	does not take an apostrophe here . Um the only
35:16	apostrophes are for the contracted form of it is and
35:20	it has . So please don't make this mistake that
35:23	native speakers make in a sentence . I saw Star
35:26	Wars . It's a really cool movie . It's effects
35:29	are awesome . Nuclear versus nuclear . Okay , the
35:34	next mistake is a pronunciation mistake . Many native speakers
35:38	make this mistake . Many high ranking officials , presidents
35:42	make this mistake , politicians make this mistake . The
35:45	word nuclear nuclear is spelled n You see l e
35:50	a R nuclear . However many people pronounce this as
35:55	nuclear for some reason , I don't know why this
35:58	is , but many people say nuclear instead of nuclear
36:01	. If you pay attention to the news , you'll
36:03	probably hear this . After a short discussion of this
36:06	topic . Somebody will say the word nuclear . I
36:08	don't know why this is , but nuclear nuclear is
36:11	the correct pronunciation of this word . Don't pronounce nuclear
36:15	as nuclear could have versus could of . Okay ,
36:20	the next mistake that native speakers make is again ,
36:23	a spelling , usually a written , a written problem
36:26	. It's could have and could have could have and
36:30	could have . So actually could of is is the
36:34	mistake here . We don't use the could could of
36:37	is not a grammar point here . Rather when native
36:41	speakers use the contracted form of could have it sounds
36:45	like could have . So for example , I could
36:48	have come to the party if I finished my homework
36:50	or I could have met you last weekend . Or
36:52	I could have could have blah blah blah . It
36:55	could have could have but when speaking in speech it
36:59	sounds like of I could have I could have because
37:03	the contracted form sounds like like of it makes a
37:07	sound of sound . So sometimes native speakers right ?
37:11	Could of however , this is incorrect . We should
37:15	write could have if you want to use the like
37:18	expanded the regular form instead of the contracted form .
37:21	So could have should be used uh Instead of could
37:26	could've is a mistake please use could have instead .
37:29	Okay , so one more example sentence I could have
37:32	explained better effect vs . Effect . So the next
37:38	mistake that many native speakers make is with words ,
37:41	the words effect with an E . And effect with
37:44	an A . Um . While there are some maybe
37:47	um less common differences between how these words are used
37:51	, especially the word effect with an E . In
37:55	most situations we can consider the difference of these two
37:59	words to be in grammatical function . The word effect
38:03	with an E is typically typically used as a noun
38:07	as in a side effect or the effect of something
38:10	. When we use affect with an A . It's
38:12	typically used as a verb in a sentence like this
38:15	change is going to affect my life or I don't
38:18	want to affect your family . For example , when
38:21	we use it as a verb , we should use
38:23	a the a spelling when we use a noun .
38:26	We should use the E spelling . Yes . There
38:29	are some situations where effect with an E is used
38:32	as a verb in , let's see , for example
38:35	, in situations where we want to explain a change
38:39	occurring or something which causes a change we say to
38:43	effect change meaning causing something or in order to do
38:46	something . But again , that uses is um not
38:50	as common as what I talked about before the noun
38:54	and the verb differentiation of these two . Um so
38:58	if you like , you can look more into that
39:00	. But in general , uh consider E as your
39:03	non form of effect and a as your verb form
39:06	of effect , example sentences the drug had a strong
39:10	effect . The drug affected my body . There's a
39:14	lot of so , okay , so the next mistake
39:17	that people make is they begin a sentence with ,
39:20	there's there is the contracted form of there is they
39:23	say there's a lot of and then they complete the
39:26	statement with the plural form of the noun . Like
39:29	there's a lot of people in here or there is
39:31	a lot of blah , blah blahs , like cookies
39:33	in the kitchen . The problem here is that we're
39:35	beginning the sentence with theirs . There is the singular
39:39	form . There is so that means that the noun
39:42	that follows that phrase also needs to be in the
39:45	singular . There's there is something we can't use the
39:49	plural form here . Um , so many native speakers
39:52	, maybe they don't think about the next part of
39:54	the sentence and they begin their sentence with . There's
39:57	something something something . This is a very common mistake
40:00	actually , if you're using the plural form of the
40:03	noun , you need to use their art instead .
40:05	There are a lot of people in the room ,
40:07	there are a lot of cookies in the kitchen ,
40:09	for example . So think about plural now and the
40:13	plural form of is or are in the singular as
40:16	well . So this is a very common one .
40:18	Be careful of that vague use of pronouns . The
40:23	next one is a huge problem in writing . So
40:26	people are sometimes very vague , vague means unclear about
40:31	using uh like pronouns , him or her or he
40:35	or she , especially in cases where there might be
40:38	many people involved in a situation . So if for
40:42	example , I say he gave the book to her
40:44	after he finished reading it . Like how many people
40:47	are involved in this situation ? I said he gave
40:50	the book to her after he finished reading it .
40:53	There are two , he's in that sentence . Are
40:55	they the same person ? We don't know . So
40:58	it can be very important to identify all the actors
41:01	in a sentence or in a paragraph to prevent confusion
41:05	. So if it is a situation like that where
41:07	I say something like he gave the book to her
41:10	after he finished it , but there are two different
41:12	men involved in that sentence . I might say like
41:15	Mike gave her the book after Gary finished it for
41:18	example . Or if uh it's mike the whole way
41:22	through , I could say Mike gave mary the book
41:24	once he had finished reading it . For example ,
41:27	we could change the sentence slightly if we really want
41:30	to make it clear . Um but just make your
41:33	um all of your pronouns should be very very clear
41:36	to your reader if you use he and she and
41:39	it's not clear who you're talking about . You can
41:42	really confuse the person listening or the person reading ,
41:45	so please be careful of this faulty parallelism . The
41:50	next one is faulty parallelism or in other words .
41:53	Um it's a grammatical function where all the items in
41:57	a list , usually in a list or um in
42:00	bullet points as well , all the items in those
42:03	lists are in those categories should have the same grammatical
42:07	type of expression . So by that , I mean
42:09	if you're using a noun phrase for everything , all
42:12	the items should be a noun , you should use
42:14	a noun phrase for everything If you're using verbs or
42:16	if you're using a complete sentence or depending on your
42:19	situation , the grammar of each one of those items
42:23	in the list should be the same . So sometimes
42:26	people will say for example , I like cooking and
42:30	reading and watch a movie . The problem here is
42:33	I've used cooking , reading . So these are two
42:35	like I'm using the gerund form , so they're essentially
42:38	like mountains . So cooking and reading and watch a
42:41	movie . So watch a movie . Sounds similar like
42:44	these are three hobbies . I like to watch a
42:46	movie . For example . It sounds kind of similar
42:49	. We don't have a problem in communication really .
42:51	But grammatically watch a movie is different from cooking or
42:56	reading . So to fix this , we say I
42:58	like cooking , reading and watching movies . So just
43:02	make sure that everything that you're introducing in your list
43:05	matches grammatically and this won't be a problem for you
43:08	. Um So yeah , if you're using all now
43:10	owns , make sure use all now . So Just
43:12	just be aware of that , that's something that many
43:15	native speakers run into as a problem sometimes . So
43:18	those are 10 mistakes that native speakers make . Have
43:21	you ever noticed the native speaker making a mistake ?
43:23	It happens . It really does happen from time to
43:25	time , let us know in the comments or if
43:28	there's another mistake that you feel that you make a
43:30	lot , let us know too . And maybe we
43:31	can talk more about that in the future . Thanks
