The PSLE Oral Examination is just round the corner. Here are some commonly mispronounced words. Spend some time looking through the list and pronouncing the words. When you are in doubt, use the phonetic symbols in dictionaries to learn the pronunciation. Alternatively, you can use an online dictionary to listen to the correct pronunciation.
Hint: Read the words with the appropriate stress
Examples of commonly mispronounced words:

calendar kal-uhn-der
comfortable kuhmf-tuh-buhlchaos key-os
character kar-ik-ter
children chil-druhn

All the best for the PSLE Oral Examination!
