Homonyms | Learn English | Confusing Words

Extras: http://linguaspectrum.com/lessons/language_lessons/Homonyms/

There are certain words in English that are confusing because we spell them the same, they sound the same, but they don't mean the same things. These words are called homonyms. Saw is a homonym, as is rose, and countless others. This video lesson introduces some of these homonyms and helps with your understanding and pronunciation. You will never again be confused by the verb to tire or the noun, tire (or tyre). | http://linguaspectrum.com/lessons/language_lessons/Homonyms/

The homonymes and homophones are one of the many difficulties that English learners meet., specially on speaking, because they can lead us to confusion. In other languages we do not have so many .

Thanks for your help, and please post more if you can.
