Different Spelling but Same Pronunciation? Homophones in English

video pronunciation    Accent's Way English with Hadar    25 February 2020

 

Homophones are words that are spelled differently but pronounced the same.

 

No wonder English is so confusing!

 

When we see the different spelling we assume that it should be pronounced differently,

but English is not a phonetic language! So spelling and pronunciation don’t match!
