🚨🔴⚪️ Christos Tzolis didn’t open to any other club approaching his camp:
he wants Arsenal move.

Club to club talks soon with Club Brugge as Tzolis has always been seen as ideal candidate to replace Trossard.

[Leandro Trossard @LTrossard]

Excited and proud to be here.🦅

[Arsenal @Arsenal]

Thank you, Leo ❤️

Leandro Trossard has completed his permanent move to Besiktas 👇

[Odegaard @Martin08fanpage]

History was made 🇸🇯❤️

[Leandro Trossard @LTrossard]

Our World Cup ends here, but what an incredible journey it has been. 🇧🇪

The support we received means everything. Thanks for believing in us.❤️‍🔥

ASSUME as /a'shuum/? ❎
ASSUME as /a'shuum/? ❎

Friends, the SS in ASSUME takes sound /s/, not /sh/ that we commonly hear around us locally.

★ASSUME as /a'siuum/ ✅

Lack of proper guidance leaves some people innocently thinking the SS in ASSUME takes sound/sh/ like in ASSURE.

[Patrick Timmons @PatrickTimmons1]

Leandro Trossard, if this is the end, you leave as a cult hero of this football club. £21 million. Clutch moment after clutch moment. That goal at the London Stadium will never be forgotten. 🫡

[Willice Ochieng @WilliceOchieng1]

SKAAS, SKAAS, SKAASITI, SKAASITI

Friends, we could do better in English pronunciation if we got proper guidance in good time.

Many people "innocently" MISpronounce SCARCE as /skaas/, and SCARCITY as /'skaasiti/.

★SCARCE as /skeas/ ✅
★SCARCITY as /'skeasiti/ ✅

[Ebuka @EbukaMeanzGreat]

You came as a King and left a Legend. ❤️

[AFC Updates @afc_updates01]

Thank you for the beautiful memories, Trossard ❤️

[Declan @declanstar1]

🚨❤️ Leandro Trossard's Emotional farewell message to Arsenal:

Trossard: 🗣️"It's time to say goodbye.

I've loved every moment wearing this badge, playing in front of the fans, and sharing the journey with amazing teammates and staff.

Thank you, Arsenal, for everything. I'll always be a Gooner. ❤️"

Arsenal fans: 🗣️"We'll miss your clutch goals, that iconic 👁️ celebration, and the countless times you delivered when it mattered most.

All the very best at Beşiktaş, Leo. Once a Gunner, always a Gunner."❤️🤍 #COYG

[AFTV @AFTVMedia]

A key part of the rebuild and a cult hero among Arsenal fans, Trossard has shown everyone exactly why Arsenal brought him in, and he finally helped us win the Premier League! 🏆🔥

It would be very sad to see him go. We can never thank you enough, Leandro! 🫡❤️

CULTURE as /'kolcha/? ❎
SCULPTURE as /'skolpcha/? ❎
VULTURE as /'volcha/? ❎

Friends, the first Union these words takes the strong mid central sound /a/ just like in CUP /kap/ or SUN /san/.

★CULTURE as /'kalcha/ ✅
★SCULPTURE as /'skalpcha/ ✅
★VULTURE as /'valcha/ ✅

[Willice Ochieng @WilliceOchieng1]

WHOOPING versus WHOPPING

Friends, these words are NOT homophones.

WHOOPING is pronounced in two ways— /wuuping'/ or /huuping'/.

Meanwhile, you say /woping'/ for the adjective WHOPPING (= very big). This is the right word/pronunciation when talking about huge amounts of money.

[Willice Ochieng @WilliceOchieng1]

WORK as /waak/ ✅
WORLD as /waald/ ✅
WORM as /waam/ ✅
WORMS as /waamz/ ✅
WORSE as /waas/ ✅
WORSHIP as /'waaship/ ✅
WORTH as /waath/ ✅
WORTHY as /'waadhi/ ✅

Friends, the digraph OR in these words takes the long mid central sound /aa/ just like in WORD /waad/.

[WEL(1880) @WSaula]

@WilliceOchieng1 @tv47digital That was epic. Thank you @WilliceOchieng1 and @tv47news.

[Willice Ochieng @WilliceOchieng1]

Do you have a problem with distinguishing ALLAY and ALLEY in pronunciation? How about BACCALAUREATE, DEBUT, etc?

Don't miss out on these AND EVEN MORE tonight.
