Mình sợ khen lắm nha! Thực ra mình rất nhiều việc, thực sự mình làm 12 tiếng một ngày. Tuy nhiên mình rất yêu thích môn Tiếng Anh mà mong muốn giúp đỡ các bạn trong khả năng mình có thể. Mình học Tiếng Anh cũng rất lâu rồi, mà lúc bắt đầu học mình cũng không biết bắt đầu từ đâu, không ai giúp được mình cả. Mình phải tự tìm ra phương pháp học cho riêng mình. Lúc mình bắt đầu học Tiếng anh người ta bảo mình điên vả lại trang thiết bị và điều kiện học tập không được như các bạn bây giờ!
Mình không giỏi đâu, có thể mình đi trước các bạn một ít thôi nhé!
Mình luôn sẵn sàng kết bạn với mọi người!
Bạn có thể PM cho mình theo YM: DoanQuang_Vanoord@yahoo.com
Thân chào!

thanks Englishmaster!
nhưng mình vẫn chưa hiểu mụch đích của bài post này. Ý của bạn là nhầm lẫn về cách phát âm hay là về vấn đề khác. Nếu mình cố gắng phát âm chuẩn thì đâu có vấn đề gì đâu.Nhưng công nhận bấy nhiêu từ bạn post lên dể nhầm lẫn khi nghe thật.
Mình xin khích lệ tinh thần của các bạn.Mình cũng sẽ cố gắng học giỏi như Doan van Quang vay.
Try and try ..

Trên đây là các từ, cụm từ có cách phát âm và cách viết, cấu tạo tương đối giống nhau, nên rất rễ gây ra sự nhầm lẫn. Mục đích của mình là để các bạn tham khảo và tránh những sai sót không đáng có!
Thân chào!
