I'm Ronnie, and thank you for watching my videos.

I'm here to give you a wonderful video about pronunciation-yeah, I said it right-and also spelling.

So it's, like, you watch one video, and you get two bonus videos in one.

It's, like, Boxing Day sale or something.

So, Rosie, thank you for helping me with this, for pointing this out to me.

We have a lot of words in English, like I said the first time.

So, if you're first learning this crazy language called English, our little brains are, like, okay, we have to say W-A-T-C-H.

I'm going to catch your next video, Ronnie.

I have to get a match to light this candle.

And this hopefully is going to be a lot easier for you because I've got something that's super amazingly, fantastically, wonderful, groundbreaking.

In all of these words, here, we don't have to say the T.

So, you're trying to say W-A-T-C-H, W-A-T-C-H, W-A-T-C-H.

You're going to light something for a candle.

You take the T out, and you don't even worry about that little guy there.

So, of course, we have to include snatch on the board.

Stitch means you take a needle and a thread, and you sew something.

So, I have to stitch, not s-t-i-t-c-h, my shirt.

Don't worry, I'm going to teach you about the other word, beach, later, but feel free.

Fetch means I throw something, and you go get it, and bring it back to me.

I think he's broken, actually, because ever since he was a puppy, I would throw something.

I'm like, go fetch, and he'd run and get it.

I'm like, dude, now I have to go and find where you put the ball.

So, fetch means you throw something, and then magically someone returns it to you.

Unless you're my dog, and then he's like...

Truth be told, I don't really like scotch that much.

And the broom, and the nose, because most people have brooms and noses.

So, as I was researching this, and I thought, whoa, super cool, oh my goodness, that's so rad, we don't need to say the T.

Then I thought about spelling, like, uh-oh.

How do people know, because we put the T...

Because the T's silent, oh no, how are people going to know when they write, when they're learning English, if we put a T or we don't put a T if we don't say it?

Because there are always exceptions to them.

A short vowel sound means the vowel does not say its own name.
