“I had a joke about my project… but I didn’t want to project it too early.” And yes… there’s a real pronunciation lesson inside it. In English, project changes pronunciation depending on whether it’s a noun or a verb: project (noun) = /ˈprɒdʒekt/Example: I’m working on a new project. project (verb) = /prəˈdʒekt/Example: You need to project your voice. So the spelling stays the same, but the stress changes. That’s one of the reasons pronunciation matters so much: sometimes it’s not the letters that change… it’s the stress, and that changes the whole word. A lot of learners focus only on spelling, but English is full of words like this. Have you noticed other words that change pronunciation like this? Drop one below 👇

What do you think? 👇 Do you try to learn a specific accent, or just focus on clear pronunciation?
