  • Eat Sleep Dreamers welcome to my top ten most difficult words to say for English learners.

  • Now I've chosen these ten words because during my eight years as a teacher these are the

  • ones that have caused my learners the most difficulty, the most pain, the most heartache

  • and the most tears and we can't let that happen anymore. So if you are ready, let's do this!

  • Today we're going to look at the word 'comfortable. Now this is an adjective that means a feeling

  • of being physically relaxed. For example we might describe a comfortable chair or a comfortable

  • pair of shoes. Now there are four syllables com for ta ble. Now the biggest mistake that

  • learners make is to give each syllable the same amount of stress. So if you want to say

  • it correctly give the first syllable the stress and no stress to the second syllable. Here's

  • an example 'comfortable'. Ok, let's put that into a sentence. 'This is a really comfortable

  • chair'. Alright, let's try another one 'These shoes are really comfortable'. Ok, that's

  • it for today. I'll be back with the rest of my top ten difficult words to say. If you

  • found this video useful, tell me in the comments below and if there are any words you find

  • difficult to say tell me about it and I'll try and help you. Alright guys, take care.

  • Bye bye.
