Description: The S sometimes sounds like a Z in English. But when should you use which sound? Some words are spelled the same way but have two different pronunciations! In this pronunciation lesson, I will talk about words which look the same but can be pronounced in two different ways, with an S sound or a Z sound. For example, “close”, “use”, “house”, and “excuse” can all be pronounced with an S sound or a Z sound, and the sound will change the meaning of the word. There are also some words which are very similar, for example “lose”, “loose”, “advise”, and “advice”, which even native English speakers get confused about. So take my advice, watch the video, do the quiz at engvid.com/english-pronunciation-s-z-sound , improve your knowledge of English, and increase your vocabulary!
