Hello, guys.
-
My name is [email protected]nny.
-
In this video, I'm going to talk to you about how to pronounce words with a silent 'd' in English.
-
There are so many words in English that are actually spelled with a 'd'
-
that you don't pronounce.
-
It's a silent 'd'.
-
For example, if I say the word, 'judge', the 'd' is silent.
-
It's spelled with a 'd', but I don't actually pronounce it.
-
Another example would be the word 'sandwich'.
-
It's written with a 'd', but you don't actually pronounce it.
-
I have a list of the most common words.
-
So let's get started.
