This is an English pronunciation lesson to help learn how to pronounce words clearly and correctly. I've noticed that these 5 words are often pronounced incorrectly by people learning English! I explain the correct pronunciation, & I also show you words with similar sounds!
Here are the words:
1. advantage (similar words: encourage, garbage, language, package)
2. determined (similar words: cleaned, imagined, loaned, returned)
3. culture (similar words: adventure, future, nature, picture)
4. negotiate (similar words: election, nutritious, patient, vacation)
5. usually (similar words: casual, decision, leisure, television)
This is the second 'commonly mispronounced words' video. Here is the first video I made titled "7 Commonly Mispronounced Words":

What about the word "harassment"? I hear that weirdly-pronounced a lot, at least in the media, as "hairissment"? come on... Hairisment? Is that supposed to be a JOKE?

@whoo689 Yes, I've noticed that, too! Strange. This video, however, is actually about words that people learning English often mispronounce! I'm sure you don't have any problems pronouncing the words in this video = )
