Today I want to teach you the correct way to say four words that
I often hear students mispronouncing or confusing: recipe, receipt, debt, and
debit.
Listen and repeat to practice your pronunciation, so that you can
be confident you're pronouncing these words correctly and not
mixing them up!

A lot of English learners want to know the “rules” of English
pronunciation, but unfortunately it’s hard to teach any rules since
the pronunciation is so irregular. There are some trends and
patterns in English pronunciation, but there are SO many
exceptions.
In my opinion, it’s better to train your pronunciation
by listening and repeatingafter a native
speaker, not by trying to memorize rules.
You can get a lot of listen-and-repeat practice inside my courses
on Pronunciation and
Shadowing.
