Đừng quá lo lắng, vì ngôn ngữ luôn phát triển và cũng thường biến phát âm thành không chính xác. Các từ sai chính tả thường tìm đường xâm nhập vào thế giới của chúng ta, khiến chúng ta ngày càng khó biết đâu là đúng, đâu là sai. Rõ ràng ngôn ngữ nói có thể có nhiều nhầm lẫn và có một số từ cực kì khó phát âm, đặc biệt nếu đó là ngôn ngữ không phải là tiếng mẹ đẻ của bạn. Điều đó khiến chúng tôi suy nghĩ và quyết định bắt đầu chuỗi các bài về "cách phát âm" và liệt kê những từ phát âm sai phổ biến nhất. Danh sách này sẽ cung cấp một khởi đầu tốt để giúp bạn nói rõ và học cách phát âm các từ một cách chính xác; và có thể là một công cụ hữu ích cho bài thi Nói IELTS của bạn.
