100 English Words Indians Commonly Mispronounce

Say Them Right, Be Understood Everywhere

There is a particular frustration in knowing a word perfectly on paper and watching someone fail to catch it when you say it. It is almost never a vocabulary problem — it is one sound, or one stressed syllable, sitting in the wrong place. This book takes the 100 words that most often break that way for Indian speakers and fixes them one at a time: silent letters, misplaced stress, the v and w swap, the two th sounds, vowel length, word endings, borrowed words and names. Nothing here is about losing your accent. An Indian accent is not an error. Being misheard is.
