Finding English pronunciation tricky?

Having problems with English pronunciation? Well, don't be too hard on yourself - blame the language! Is it any surprise people have problems speaking English clearly when we pronounce words like 'once' with a /w/, but then ignore the /w/ completely in 'answer'. Why on earth are words like 'Wednesday' pronounced as 'wensday'? And what about 'creature' with 2 syllables but 'creation' pronounced with 3?

Holidays collocations!

The end of December in the U.S. is known as "the Holidays".

The word "holiday" can mean any holiday, from religious holidays to national holidays like (in the U.S.) Independence Day and Memorial Day. However, "The Holidays" means the time around the end of the year. One reason that English speakers call this time of year "The Holidays" is to avoid simply calling it "Christmas".
