00:00:00.380 --> 00:00:04.920
Hi, I'm Vanessa from SpeakEnglishWithVanessa.com.

2
00:00:04.920 --> 00:00:10.400
Today we're going to talk about how to pronounce
the 100 most important words in English.

3
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:15.690
Let's get started.

4
00:00:15.690 --> 00:00:21.579
Before we get started I wanna let you know
that these are not the top 100 most used words

5
00:00:21.579 --> 00:00:22.789
in English.

6
00:00:22.789 --> 00:00:25.779
These are the most important words.

7
00:00:25.779 --> 00:00:32.110
There is a man named IA Richards, he was a
rhetorician, which means it was his job to

8
00:00:32.110 --> 00:00:34.960
be a speaker, be eloquent.

9
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:39.290
He is a professor of words we could say.

10
00:00:39.290 --> 00:00:44.020
He decided that these 100 words were the most
important in the English language for two

11
00:00:44.020 --> 00:00:45.180
reasons.

12
00:00:45.180 --> 00:00:46.510
Let's talk about the first one.

13
00:00:46.510 --> 00:00:51.279
The first reason is because they cover topics
that we often talk about.

14
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:53.960
They're probably the most used topics.

15
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:56.780
A lot of these words are nouns or verbs.

16
00:00:56.780 --> 00:00:57.780
They're descriptive.

17
00:00:57.780 --> 00:00:59.670
They're not prepositions.

18
00:00:59.670 --> 00:01:04.798
If you are interested in the most common words
in the English language, those are going to

19
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:12.350
be more prepositions or articles like the,
have, an, but these are important words, so

20
00:01:12.350 --> 00:01:14.080
they're going to be descriptive.

21
00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:16.330
We talk about these topics often.

22
00:01:16.330 --> 00:01:22.709
The second reason is because we need to use
these words when we're describing other concepts,

23
00:01:22.709 --> 00:01:28.138
so if you don't know a word in English and
you're trying to describe what that word is,

24
00:01:28.139 --> 00:01:31.840
you're going to need to use these words to
describe other concepts.

25
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:34.459
As you can see, they're really valuable.

26
00:01:34.459 --> 00:01:37.310
They're invaluable, in fact.

27
00:01:37.310 --> 00:01:41.039
Take today to pronounce them correctly.

28
00:01:41.039 --> 00:01:42.959
Follow my speaking.

29
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:44.589
Follow my pronunciation.

30
00:01:44.590 --> 00:01:49.630
I'm an American, so I'm going to use American
English pronunciation.

31
00:01:49.630 --> 00:01:51.380
I hope it will be useful to you.

32
00:01:51.380 --> 00:01:53.009
Are you ready to get started?

33
00:01:53.009 --> 00:01:54.299
Use those muscles.

34
00:01:54.299 --> 00:02:00.590
I'm going to pronounce them first clearly,
and then second, I'm going to say a short

35
00:02:00.590 --> 00:02:03.969
sentence which is going to use them pretty
fast.

36
00:02:03.969 --> 00:02:08.940
You're going to hear the version that you
would hear in a conversation, so maybe some

37
00:02:08.940 --> 00:02:12.690
letters are reduced or linked or cut out.

38
00:02:12.690 --> 00:02:16.060
You might hear a difference between the two,
but I want to make sure that you can hear

39
00:02:16.060 --> 00:02:23.330
the clear pronunciation and also the sentence,
daily conversation style, pronunciation.

40
00:02:23.330 --> 00:02:24.360
Use both of them.

41
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:25.360
Practice today.

42
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:27.010
Let's get started.

43
00:02:27.010 --> 00:02:28.560
Amount.

44
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:30.980
What's the amount?

45
00:02:30.980 --> 00:02:33.070
Argument.

46
00:02:33.070 --> 00:02:35.290
We had an argument.

47
00:02:35.290 --> 00:02:36.870
Art.

48
00:02:36.870 --> 00:02:38.160
He likes art.

49
00:02:38.160 --> 00:02:39.160
Be.

50
00:02:39.160 --> 00:02:41.939
Be Yourself.

51
00:02:41.940 --> 00:02:44.810
Beautiful.

52
00:02:44.810 --> 00:02:47.200
It's a beautiful day.

53
00:02:47.200 --> 00:02:48.780
Belief.

54
00:02:48.780 --> 00:02:50.910
That's my belief.

55
00:02:50.910 --> 00:02:52.790
Cause.

56
00:02:52.790 --> 00:02:54.960
What's the cause?

57
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:56.950
Certain.

58
00:02:56.950 --> 00:02:59.510
I'm not certain.

59
00:02:59.510 --> 00:03:01.620
Chance.

60
00:03:01.620 --> 00:03:03.870
Take the chance.

61
00:03:03.870 --> 00:03:05.730
Change.

62
00:03:05.730 --> 00:03:08.210
It's hard to change.

63
00:03:08.210 --> 00:03:09.940
Clear.

64
00:03:09.940 --> 00:03:11.800
It's a clear day.

65
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:13.130
Common.

66
00:03:13.130 --> 00:03:15.770
He has a common cold.

67
00:03:15.770 --> 00:03:17.550
Comparison.

68
00:03:17.550 --> 00:03:19.990
Don't make a comparison.

69
00:03:19.990 --> 00:03:21.100
Condition.

70
00:03:21.100 --> 00:03:23.240
It's in bad condition.

71
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:24.820
Connection.

72
00:03:24.820 --> 00:03:26.220
Make a connection.

73
00:03:26.220 --> 00:03:27.320
Copy.

74
00:03:27.320 --> 00:03:29.690
I have a copy.

75
00:03:29.690 --> 00:03:31.290
Decision.

76
00:03:31.290 --> 00:03:34.970
That's a hard decision Degree.

77
00:03:34.970 --> 00:03:37.820
I have a degree in English.

78
00:03:37.820 --> 00:03:39.430
Desire.

79
00:03:39.430 --> 00:03:41.900
It's a strong desire.

80
00:03:41.900 --> 00:03:43.760
Development.

81
00:03:43.760 --> 00:03:46.820
We made a development.

82
00:03:46.820 --> 00:03:47.990
Different.

83
00:03:47.990 --> 00:03:50.530
Which one is different?

84
00:03:50.530 --> 00:03:52.280
Do.

85
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:54.370
You should do what's right.

86
00:03:54.370 --> 00:03:55.370
Education.

87
00:03:55.370 --> 00:03:59.490
Education is important.

88
00:03:59.490 --> 00:04:00.950
End.

89
00:04:00.950 --> 00:04:03.680
It's the end of the world.

90
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:05.319
Event.

91
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:08.199
It was a boring event.

92
00:04:08.200 --> 00:04:09.839
Examples.

93
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:12.560
Do you have any examples?

94
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:14.250
Existence.

95
00:04:14.250 --> 00:04:17.509
Our existence is short.

96
00:04:17.510 --> 00:04:19.339
Experience.

97
00:04:19.339 --> 00:04:21.909

I have a strange feeling about him.

104
00:04:34.970 --> 00:04:36.099
Fiction.

105
00:04:36.100 --> 00:04:38.120
Do you like to read fiction?

106
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:39.290

00:04:41.339 --> 00:04:42.569
Form.

You have to form the bread.

110
00:04:45.110 --> 00:04:46.460
Free.

111
00:04:46.460 --> 00:04:48.779

We never learn from history.

126
00:05:15.610 --> 00:05:17.300
Idea.

127
00:05:17.300 --> 00:05:19.800
What an interesting idea.

128
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:21.639
Important.

129
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:24.130
These are important words.

00:05:24.130 --> 00:05:25.519
Interest.

131
00:05:25.520 --> 00:05:28.480
I have an interest in traveling.

132
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:29.730
Knowledge.

133
00:05:29.730 --> 00:05:32.400
Do you have knowledge about politics?

134
00:05:32.400 --> 00:05:33.418
Law.

135
00:05:33.419 --> 00:05:36.970

Where are you living?

Material.

147
00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:00.649
What kind of material is this?

148
00:06:00.650 --> 00:06:02.039
Measure.

149
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:04.549
You need to measure the room.

150
00:06:04.550 --> 00:06:05.820
Mind.

151
00:06:05.820 --> 00:06:07.540
Do you mind?

152
00:06:07.540 --> 00:06:09.089
Motion.

153
00:06:09.089 --> 00:06:11.349
That was a fast motion.

00:06:11.350 --> 00:06:12.620

He's in his natural habitat.

160
00:06:22.490 --> 00:06:24.040
Necessary.

161
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:26.100
Is it necessary?

162
00:06:26.100 --> 00:06:27.760
Normal.

163
00:06:27.760 --> 00:06:29.960
No one is normal.

164
00:06:29.960 --> 00:06:31.370
Number.

165
00:06:31.370 --> 00:06:33.899
The number is five.

166
00:06:33.900 --> 00:06:35.740
Observation.

167
00:06:35.740 --> 00:06:38.050
That's a good observation.

168
00:06:38.050 --> 00:06:39.889
Opposite.

169
00:06:39.889 --> 00:06:42.680
He's the opposite of his brother.

170
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:43.960
Order.

171
00:06:43.960 --> 00:06:46.779
Put your books in order.

172
00:06:46.779 --> 00:06:48.489
Organization.

173
00:06:48.490 --> 00:06:50.710
It's a big organization.

174
00:06:50.710 --> 00:06:51.770
Part.

175
00:06:51.770 --> 00:06:54.650
I ate part of the cake.

176
00:06:54.650 --> 00:06:55.810
Place.

177
00:06:55.810 --> 00:06:57.430
What's your favorite place?

178
00:06:57.430 --> 00:06:58.430
Pleasure.

179
00:06:58.430 --> 00:07:01.940
Pleasure is hard to define.

180
00:07:01.940 --> 00:07:03.279
Possible.

181
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:04.909
Is it possible?

182
00:07:04.910 --> 00:07:06.400
Power.

183
00:07:06.400 --> 00:07:09.070
Is power always bad?

184
00:07:09.070 --> 00:07:10.430
Probable.

185
00:07:10.430 --> 00:07:13.630
It's probable that it will rain today.

186
00:07:13.630 --> 00:07:14.780
Property.

187
00:07:14.780 --> 00:07:17.980
There's a bear on my property.

188
00:07:17.980 --> 00:07:19.020
Purpose.

189
00:07:19.020 --> 00:07:21.570
What's the purpose of this video?

190
00:07:21.570 --> 00:07:23.900
To help you pronounce these words.

191
00:07:23.900 --> 00:07:25.240
Quality.

192
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:27.870
That was a good quality movie.

193
00:07:27.870 --> 00:07:29.290
Question.

194
00:07:29.290 --> 00:07:31.280
I have a question.

195
00:07:31.280 --> 00:07:32.780
Reason.

196
00:07:32.780 --> 00:07:35.610
What's your reason for learning English?

197
00:07:35.610 --> 00:07:37.020
Relation.

198
00:07:37.020 --> 00:07:40.710
What's the relation between those two topics?

199
00:07:40.710 --> 00:07:42.650
Representative.

200
00:07:42.650 --> 00:07:45.009
He's my representative.

201
00:07:45.009 --> 00:07:46.720
Respect.

202
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:48.780
Who do you respect?

203
00:07:48.780 --> 00:07:50.490
Responsible.

204
00:07:50.490 --> 00:07:52.820
Are you responsible?

205
00:07:52.820 --> 00:07:54.820
Right.

206
00:07:54.820 --> 00:07:57.340
Turn left ... no turn right.

207
00:07:57.340 --> 00:07:58.550
Same.

208
00:07:58.550 --> 00:08:00.610
We have the same interests.

209
00:08:00.610 --> 00:08:01.840
Say.

210
00:08:01.840 --> 00:08:03.978
I want to say something.

211
00:08:03.979 --> 00:08:05.360
Science.

212
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:07.770
Science is all around us.

213
00:08:07.770 --> 00:08:08.770
See.

214
00:08:08.770 --> 00:08:12.220
Did you see the moon last night?

215
00:08:12.220 --> 00:08:13.480
Seem.

216
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.000
You seem to be tired today.

217
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:17.000
Sense.

218
00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:20.000
Common sense is important in life.

219
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:21.000
Sign.

220
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:24.630
It was a sign from the heavens.

221
00:08:24.630 --> 00:08:26.269
Simple.

222
00:08:26.270 --> 00:08:30.040
Is English a simple language to learn?

223
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:31.429
Society.

224
00:08:31.430 --> 00:08:34.290
Society is a complex thing.

225
00:08:34.290 --> 00:08:35.550
Sort.

226
00:08:35.550 --> 00:08:38.800
I have to sort through those papers.

227
00:08:38.800 --> 00:08:40.110
Special.

228
00:08:40.110 --> 00:08:43.510
You have a special place in my heart.

229
00:08:43.510 --> 00:08:45.170
Substance.

230
00:08:45.170 --> 00:08:47.800
What's that sticky substance?

231
00:08:47.800 --> 00:08:49.320
Thing.

232
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:51.670
It's a strange thing.

233
00:08:51.670 --> 00:08:52.940
Thought.

234
00:08:52.940 --> 00:08:55.890
I thought I could do it.

235
00:08:55.890 --> 00:08:57.080
True.

236
00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:58.770
Is that true?

237
00:08:58.770 --> 00:09:00.159
Use.

238
00:09:00.160 --> 00:09:03.410
Can you use a computer?

239
00:09:03.410 --> 00:09:04.410
Way.

240
00:09:04.410 --> 00:09:05.850
That's the first way.

241
00:09:05.850 --> 00:09:07.120
Wise.

242
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:09.950
She's a wise woman.

243
00:09:09.950 --> 00:09:11.380
Word.

244
00:09:11.380 --> 00:09:13.100
What's that word?

245
00:09:13.100 --> 00:09:14.440
Work.

246
00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:17.110
It's time to go to work.

247
00:09:17.110 --> 00:09:19.210
Thanks for pronouncing these words with me.

248
00:09:19.210 --> 00:09:23.130
I hope that it was useful to you and you said
them out loud.

249
00:09:23.130 --> 00:09:26.870
If there's any of these words that you don't
know, you don't know what they mean, you've

250
00:09:26.870 --> 00:09:30.420
never heard them before, take some time to
look them up.

251
00:09:30.420 --> 00:09:32.630
Write them in a vocabulary notebook.

252
00:09:32.630 --> 00:09:34.840
Take some time to learn them.

253
00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:38.670
This is a great introduction to some important
words in English.

254
00:09:38.670 --> 00:09:44.770
You might have noticed that there are 103
words on this list, not 100, and I thought

255
00:09:44.770 --> 00:09:51.670
it was an interesting point because IA Richards,
the man who made this list, he said that he

256
00:09:51.670 --> 00:09:55.960
wants readers to decide which words are not
important.

257
00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:59.029
Which three words should we cut out from this
list?

258
00:09:59.029 --> 00:10:05.370
There's not an exact 100 words, but it's always
changing and evolving.

259
00:10:05.370 --> 00:10:09.730
It's just an interesting point that he made,
so I hope that you could practice your pronunciation

260
00:10:09.730 --> 00:10:10.730
today.

261
00:10:10.730 --> 00:10:13.130
Let me know in the comments which words are
new to you.

262
00:10:13.130 --> 00:10:15.690
Can you make sentences using these words?

263
00:10:15.690 --> 00:10:19.190
This is a good starting point to learning
new vocabulary.

264
00:10:19.190 --> 00:10:20.980
Hearing it first, then pronouncing it.

265
00:10:20.980 --> 00:10:22.410
Making a sentence with it.

266
00:10:22.410 --> 00:10:25.330
Trying to repeat it and use it as much as
you can.

267
00:10:25.330 --> 00:10:28.670
Thanks so much for pronouncing with me today
and have a wonderful day.

268
00:10:28.670 --> 00:10:30.350
I'll see you the next time.

269
00:10:30.350 --> 00:10:31.350
Bye.
