Hello, everyone.
My name is F@nny.
And in this video, I'm gonna talk to you about the 'Silent B' letter in English.
Now, there are many words containing the letter B
And sometimes, for some reason, this B is silent.
Now, let's take a few examples.
First, we have the word 'climb'.
Now there's a 'b'.
You can see it when you spell the word,
it ends with the letter 'B'.
But can you hear it?
Listen to me. 'climb'.
No, you can't. You can't hear the letter 'B'.
Because it's a silent 'B'.
Another example,
would be the word 'bomb'.
I know you're thinking of the spelling.
There's a 'B' at the end of this word.
But again, it's a silent B.
In fact, most of the time in English, when a short word ends with the letters 'mb',
the 'b' is silent.
Now another example,
the word 'debt'.
Most of my students pronounce it 'debt'.
Because they know the spelling of the word
and there's a 'b' before this 't'.
But it's a silent B, guys.
It's not pronounced, so you actually say 'Det'.
Now for longer words, again, the letter 'B'
is sometimes silent, not always.
For example, if I say the word 'plumber',
it's a silent B.
It's not pronounced 'plum-ber'. It's spelled with a 'B', but the 'B' is silent.
But, if I say the word 'crumble',
the 'b' is not silent.
You can clearly hear the sound 'b', 'crumble'.
Okay?
So it's not always silent.
Another example would be the word 'subtle'.
Now 'subtle' is spelled with a 'B', but the 'B' is silent.
Unlike the word 'subtext', 'subtext' is spelled with a 'B',
but the 'B' is pronounced.
I know English is a difficult language, but you will make it, guys.
It's just about practice.
So let's practice together, shall we?
I've got a list of the most common words containing the silent B.
So let's not focus on rules.
Let's just practice saying those words until you actually get used to their pronunciation.
Let's start. Please repeat after me.

'plumber'
'succumb'
'comb'
'bomb'
'climb'

silent 'C' in English.

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.
Let's start the list.
Please repeat after me.

Hello, everyone. My name is F@nny and in this video,
I'm going to teach you how to pronounce words containing a 'Silent G' in English.
And these words are very common. I have two examples for you.
First, a very common word, 'sign'. Can you hear a G sound?
I can't. because the G is silent so you shouldn't pronounce
it, 'sign'. Another word, 'foreign'.
Do you know that dodgy is silent? All my students want to pronounce that G.
But you don't pronounce it, it's silent. So you say 'foreign'.
So as you can see, the silent G is often found in the combination '-gn', but not always.
In fact, I have a list of the most common words.
So let's get started.
And don't forget that G is silent.
'align' 'assign'
'assignment' 'benign'
'campaign' 'champagne'
'cologne' 'consign'
'consignment' 'design'
'foreign' 'gnarl'
'gnat' 'gnaw'
'gnome' 'malign'
'phlegm' 'realign'
'reassign' 'reign'
'resign' 'sign'
'sovereign'
Good, let's now move on to example sentences.
Okay, guys. So let's now practice with sentences.
Repeat after me and don't forget the G is silent.
'They bought champagne and cologne.'
'The gnat gnawed the sign.'
'We need to design and align the sign.'
Great job, guys.
Okay, guys. that's it for the silent G video. Thank you for watching.
Don't forget keep practicing. Practice makes perfect.
See you in the next videos.

Hi, guys.
My name is F@nny.
In this video, I'm going to tell you about
the pronunciation of words containing a silent H in English.
And these words are very common.
A silent 'h' can be found after another consonant.
For example, we have the word 'ache', containing 'ch'
very common combination.
And the sound is a hard 'k' so that the 'h' is actually silent.
Sometimes you can find a silent 'h' in the beginning of a word.
For example, the word 'hour'.
So these are a few examples.
There are others.
Actually, I have a list of the most common words.
So let's get started.
Okay, guys.
