Hello, guys.
|
|
|
My name is [email protected]
|
|
|
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.

|
