So, there's a subtle difference between clothes and close.

It's a subtle difference.

It's a very subtle difference when you're listening.

And so, I want you to remember those three words.

Memorize debt, doubt, and subtle.

And also those words that have MB in there, like bomb, tomb, numb, limb, climb.

There were a few of them.

And the best way to memorise these exceptions is to say them again and again and again.

So to drill these sentences, you need to say them again and again.

Repetition is very important for learning anything.

But also, I think something that a lot of students...

perhaps don't do, but I know some do, I think it's very useful to listen to podcasts and to songs and to audiobooks, but read the lyrics or the words at the same time, because that will help you

Pull together what the word looks like and what the word sounds like.

You need to pull those two things together so that you get it right.

And another thing you can do is read aloud and record yourself, of course, to see if you're getting the words correct each and every time.

Absolutely.

I couldn't agree more.

Sure.

I have a website.

It's skype-lessons.com.
