There are words we use in almost our day to day activities, words we pronounce wrongly everyday, without Knowing we are.

Using the word “Sachet” as an example, we pronounced it “Sah-chet” While the correct oral pronunciations should be “Sa-shay.”

Here are a few correct pronunciations to guide us:

1. Vegetable

2. Divorce

3. Vehicle

4. Often

5. Sachet

6. Résumé

7. Chaos

8. Data


Did you just learn some new tips, Well that try to is what we all should do everyday to be more smarter for a smarter Nigeria

As for Often .... BOTH pronunciations with the silent T and the Audible T are correct.
Same with DATA... can be pronounced as both both DAHTAH and DAYTAH.... Americans pronounce it as DAAYDA (The roll the T as fast D) ... Australians say DAH-TAH
