Perfect your English pronunciation with tricky words. Watch this video and learn the correct pronunciations.

Here are 5 commonly mispronounced words covered in this video.

• Arctic. Many people mistakenly say "ark-tic", but the correct pronunciation is "ar-tic". Remember, the "c" is silent.
• Hyperbole. It's easy to say "hy-per-bowl", but the correct way is "hi-per-buh-lee". Emphasize the "per" and soften the "lee".
• Quinoa. This superfood is often mispronounced as "kwin-oh-ah". The right pronunciation is "keen-wah". 
• Suite. It looks like it should be pronounced "suit", but it's actually "sweet". 
• Almond. The "l" in almond is silent, so avoid saying "al-mond". Instead, say "ah-muhnd" with a soft "a".
