  • Hello everyone and welcome back to

  • english with Lucy. How are you all today?

  • I hope you're very well. So I just want to make a quick video

  • responding to some of the comments

  • on my recent pronunciation video

  • because I have a lot of people ask me

  • how to pronounce other words

  • that they find difficult.

  • Disclaimer my channel is dedicated to teaching British English.

  • That's what I do

  • that's what this channels for.

  • I'm not saying that American pronunciation is

  • wrong. Please everyone just calm down.

  • I'm not saying that this is the only way to

  • pronounce things but in British English, this is how we do it.

  • Now the first one

  • that was commented quite a few times is

  • this one, is this one, which is jewellery.

  • We say jewellery. Now yes, you will hear

  • some native people saying jewellery jewellery but

  • in general British people say jewellery. jewellery

  • Okay the next one is this one.

  • and woo I kind of feel guilty pronouncing this one

  • because it's not our word,

  • it's the Italians. I live with Italians

  • and they get very upset when i say this word wrong

  • so now we pronounce it pizza pizza

  • What do you want for dinner?

  • Pizza Pizza

  • I know it's not really meant to be pronounced like that.

  • We here in Britain say pizza.

  • So the third one is this one. It's my own name.

  • Well, I do say it every video I feel like you should know it.

  • You pronounce my name Lucy. Lucy

  • But a lot of people call me Luce for short.

  • my mum actually calls me Lolly,

  • but no one's allowed to call me Lolly apart from my mum.

  • Yeah Lucy I often hear 'Luci' from the Spanish community

  • and lasee, russi as well from the Asian community

  • they struggle with their Ls and Rs

  • really I don't mind how you pronounce my name

  • I love you all the same if you want to pronounce it correctly

  • it's Lucy.

  • The next one broccoli.

  • Now broccoli it's not broccoli.

  • Broccoli, emphasis on the first syllable,

  • then we've got the schwa, broccoli

  • The fifth one is this one, generally.

  • Now of course you might hear people saying generally,

  • "generally speaking" but we normally say

  • generally generally.

  • Now I that's it for today I just wanted to answer some of your questions

  • that you left on the video.

  • I do read every single one of your comments

  • I absolutely cannot reply to every single one of them

  • so

  • just understand that if I were to reply

  • to every single one of your comments I would have to give up my job

  • I think.

  • because you're quite a needy bunch

  • but I love you.

  • all right make sure you connect with me on all my social media

  • which is here

  • and I will see you all for another English lesson very very soon mwah!
