Chicken vs. Kitchen: Pronunciation Mistake

Have you ever accidentally asked for a kitchen burger instead of a chicken burger? You’re not alone!

In this funny video, Luke makes a common pronunciation mistake—mixing up “chicken” (the food) with “kitchen” (the place you cook). Mia, the waitress, is confused at first. But once she realizes what Luke meant, she helps him understand the difference.

Here’s the quick fix:
• Chicken = /ˈtʃɪk.ən/ → the meat
• Kitchen = /ˈkɪtʃ.ən/ → the room where you cook

These words may look similar, but their pronunciation is quite different. Practicing these sounds helps you speak more clearly and confidently in real situations, like ordering food.

This type of mix-up is very common among English learners, especially when learning vowel and consonant combinations. Watch the video and practice saying both words aloud. You’ll never order a “kitchen burger” by accident again!
