Homophones Exercise A

TRANSCRIPCION VIDEO
¡Hola! Este es el canal “Sounds American”. ¡Vamos a divertirnos!¿Has oido hablar sobre
homófonos? Homófonos son palabras que suenan parecidas pero tienen diferente ortografía y
significado. Un ejemplo bueno es las palabras “eye” y “I”. Homófonos pueden ser muy
confusos. Es decir, confusos de verdad. Por ejemplo, “there” y “their”. Uno bueno más: “here”
y “hear”. ¿Lo oiste? Lo que realmente confunde es las diferencias en ortografía. Ortografías
diferentes no necesariamente significan diferentes pronunciaciones. Por ejemplo, “pair” y
“pear”. Sin embargo, hay buenas noticias. Homófonos hacen que los ejercicios de la
pronunciación sean más cortos porque tienes menos palabras para aprender. :) Escucha:
“way” y “weigh”. Estupendo, ¿no? En cuanto a los ejercicios de pronunciación, da
la casualidad de que tenemos uno para ti.
