5 分钟Okay, English learners,
I'm going to show you the most important pronunciation mistake that you should avoid,
in my opinion, as an English teacher.
I'm talking about the pronunciation of the word can.
Why do I think this is the most important pronunciation mistake?
Well, because as an English teacher, I can understand English learners very well.
even if they don't have great pronunciation.
But when English learners make this one specific pronunciation mistake, I can't understand them.
And the worst part is that I can't tell if the person is saying can or can't.
This means that I might think the person is saying the opposite.
of what they're trying to say.
That's why in my experience, this is the number one pronunciation mistake.
So today,
I'm going to help you pronounce this word correctly so that you can avoid this miscommunication.

Okay,
the reason why I can't understand many English learners when they say the word can in their sentences is
because they aren't reducing this word.
