Learn English pronunciation with Jade 
How to sound like a native speaker - Advanced Pronunciation.

This is another pronunciation lesson from Jade. In this lesson you'll learn some words that some English students mispronounce, other words that native speakers pronounce incorrectly, as well as some general pronunciation rules in English, so that you can speak English correctly and confidently.

Looking at this word now: "height". I think this one breaks our expectations, you could say, because the other words related to it: "width", "length", have the "th" sound. "Width", "length". This one, not spelt the same way, doesn't have the same sound. So it should be: "height", "height", not: "heigth", a lot of people say: "height". Wrong. Right: "height" with a "t". So it's the exception, it doesn't... Doesn't go with "width" or "length". Are there any others? "Depth", "depth", oh, that's hard for me to say. "Depth", too hard for me to say. Looking at the next word now, a non... A non-native mistake: "suit", "suit". Some people say: "suite", "suite", all kinds of wrong pronunciations for that one. Thing to remember there is it's the long "u" sound, "oo", "suit", "suit".
