Homonyms in English that are often confused
About course
In the English language, many words sound or look alike but they have completely different meanings. These are called homonyms. They are a reason for many mistakes, even for those who speak the language rather well. Confusion with such words can interfere with both spoken and written communication, so it’s important to be able to distinguish between them and express yourself clearly.
Our course will help you understand 16 of the most commonly confused word pairs. Each pair comes with audio so you can hear the differences in pronunciation, as well as explanations. We use the method of associations to make it easier and more interesting to remember the differences.
After memorizing, we will practice the distinction between homonyms through interactive exercises, while flashcards will help reinforce the correct spelling and pronunciation.
