The most mispronounced letters by desis

[Bhumchik]

T: if it appears in the middle or end of a word, it is usually pronounced as D

water => wader

what I want is... => whad I want is...

If T appears at the beginning of a word, it is usually pronounced somewhere in between Toh and Cho (with more emphasis on T).

Told => tchold

Train => Tchrain

Try => Tchry

Also, never say, “You only told me” - that is Telugu, not English lol 😀

Likewise, “I told” - which is incorrect. Tell, told are transitive verbs that are followed by one or more objects, like “I told her...”.

Spend more time with Americans and listen to English radio and podcasts/audiobooks - the only ways to improve!

#1: W: Most people
Pronounced as V instead of W

#2: H: Many people
In American English it is pronounced as "ech", not "hech"

#3: Z: Some people
It is Z, not Jee

The reason is we don't have these letters in Indian languages, and our natural instinct connects them to the closest letter.

 

British English vs American English what is this Indian language evanni English language aey Kada !!
