🤔 DEBT
Are you saying this word wrong?
A lot of English learners make this mistake, but it’s easy to fix.
We say: DET
It’s not: DEB-t
It’s DET
The B is silent: DET
And it’s just one syllable: DET
* Jack has some credit card DET.
* She paid off her DET.
* Tom got in trouble with gambling DET
Let’s practice together. I’ll say blue. You say green.
* DET
* Jack has some credit card DET.
* She paid off her DET.
* Tom got in trouble with gambling DET
Why not write your example with DEBT in the comments.
Thanks for watching, and until next time, keep learning and keep it cool.
