100 most often mispronounced words and phrases in English

https://grammar.yourdictionary.com/style-and-usage/mispron.html

Guided Practice  R  W  L  S
PRONUNCIACTION ACTIVITY

ODD ONE OUT

Put similar words into groups of three—two with one sound, and one with a different
(although similar) sound. Or you could have groups of four or five which contain the same
sound, but only one that’s different. For example:

meet, seat, sit (for vowels)

plays, pace, space (for consonants)

Dictation
Dictation is when someone speaks out loud and someone else writes it down. Getting your
students to write down what you say is good listening practice for them, and when you’re
dictating minimal pairs they need to listen especially carefully. There are a few different
dictation activities you can use.

Minimal Pairs Dictation

Running Dictation
Fast Dictation
Picture Dictation

Fruit Salad

This is generally a game where the players sit in a circle with one player standing in the
middle. The players have each been designated as a type of fruit. The middle player calls a
fruit, and all of the players who’ve been assigned that fruit must rush to change places while
the middle player tries to take one of their chairs. Periodically they can call “fruit salad!” and
then everyone must change places.

Instead of using the names of fruits, you can designate words containing minimal pairs to
groups of students, and maybe choose another word for the “fruit salad!” command.

For example, as the students are sitting in the circle they “number off” one by one around the
circle with:

“pea,” ” bee,” “pin,” “bin”

Then the person in the middle will call “pin!” or another given word to get their peers running
around.

PRONUNCIATION WORDS PRACTICE

Don't say: acrossed | Do say: across

Comment: It is easy to confuse "across" with "crossed" but better to keep them
separate.

Don't say: bidness | Do say: business

Comment: The change of [s] to [d] before [n] is spreading throughout the US and
when the unaccented [I] drops from this word the [s] finds itself in the same
environment as in "isn't" and "wasn't."

Don't say: cannidate | Do say: candidate

Comment: You aren't being canny to drop the [d] in this word. Remember, it is the
same as "candy date." (This should help guys remember how to prepare for dates,
too.)

Don't say: close | Do say: clothes

Comment: The [th] is a very soft sound likely to be overlooked. Show your
linguistic sensitivity and always pronounce it.

Don't say: drownd | Do say: drown

Comment: You add the [d] only to the past tense and past participle.

Don't say: expresso | Do say: espresso

Comment: While I can't express my love for espresso enough, this word was
borrowed from Italian well after the Latin prefix ex- had developed into es-.

Don't say: excetera | Do say: et cetera

Comment: Latin for "and" (et) "the rest" (cetera) are actually two words that
probably should be written separately.

Don't say: Febyuary | Do say: February

Comment: We don't like two syllables in succession with an [r] so some of us
dump the first one in this word. Most dictionaries now accept the single [r]
pronunciation but, if you have an agile tongue, you may want to shoot for the
original.

Don't say: heighth | Do say: height

Comment: The analogy with "width" misleads many of us in the pronunciation of
this word because we try to end the word with the "th" sound. The initial [h] and the
final [t] is always pronounced.
Don't say: libary | Do say: library
Comment: As mentioned before, English speakers dislike two [r]s in the same
word. However, we have to buck up and pronounce them all.

Don't say: nother | Do say: other

Comment: Misanalysis is a common type of speech error based on the
misperception of where to draw the line between components of a word of phrase.
"A whole nother" comes from misanalyzing "an other" as "a nother." Not good. Not
good.

Don't say: stomp | Do say: stamp

Comment: Stamps are so called because they were originally stamped (not
stomped) on a letter. You stamp your feet, too.
