Receipt Pronunciation Tip

English pronunciation can be tricky, especially when spelling doesn’t match how a word sounds. One classic example is the word receipt. Many learners are tempted to pronounce it as re·cee·pt—but the correct pronunciation is ruh·seet. That silent “p” can really throw people off!

In this quick video, we clear up the confusion and give you a simple tip to remember the right way to say receipt. It’s not just about memorization—it’s about training your ear to hear how native speakers say it, and practicing it until it feels natural.

Mispronouncing common words can hurt your confidence, but with just a little guidance and practice, you can fix these small mistakes and sound much more fluent.

Watch the video, repeat after us, and practice saying it out loud: ruh·seet, ruh·seet. Drop the “p”—you won’t need it here!
