ONE EPISODE, A STARTING POINT

Are you sure you're pronouncing these English words correctly?

7:29Marco Montemagno · podcast RSS

Simon tests Montemagno's English pronunciation with words that can challenge Italian speakers, including sixth, salmon, muscle, bureaucracy and queue. The exchange stresses differences between spelling and sound, silent letters and the limits of general rules. Marco receives a score of five correct answers out of six before the bonus. The closing section promotes My English School courses; the written representation alone cannot reproduce every nuance of the spoken demonstrations.

Key points

  • Sound sequences and instinctive pronunciation are tested through concrete examples.
  • Similarities between words help, but exceptions prevent a single universal rule.
  • Spelling can make a word with a simple sound, such as queue, look complex.
  • The challenge ends with a commercial invitation to My English School courses.
