What English Spelling Skills Do You Need to Improve

for the Duolingo English Test?
A common challenge for non-English speakers is that a few words in English sound and
look familiar but have a different meaning. Or on other occasions, a few words are
commonly misspelled. And usually, the misspelling happens with a single alphabet, “i”
or “e”. There are many nuances to the English language that confuses and leads to
spelling mistakes.

And the rarest form is extremely long multi-syllable words, and in some cases, these
words are foreign even to native and fluent English speakers.

Let’s look at both these scenarios with multiple examples.

Commonly Confused English Words

The difficulty with spellcheck is that it might misspell words. English is full of similar-
sounding but differently written terms.

Usually, English learners misinterpret many words with similar (but not identical)
meanings due to confusing structures or even multiple meanings. Here are some of the
most frequently misunderstood English terms.
English Words with Troublesome Spelling

The ever-evolving English language may be challenging to spell because of its quirks
and exceptions.
It is only since the advent of the printing machine that they have standardized the terms
in American English. While spellcheck apps are excellent, understanding and being
competent in spelling are crucial both at school and at the workplace.

People will evaluate you based on your misspelled words, fair or not. That may harm
your grades or professional growth.

i – e and e – i

“i before e unless after c” is one of the first English spelling rules students
learn in school. This only works when the word with a long ee, like in shield.

i–e e–i

piece conceive
relief conceit
believe receive
niece receipt
chief eight
priest heigh
thief feign

Silent Letter

When writing a word, don’t forget to spell it with its silent letter even though it
is not spoken. In other words, more than half of the alphabet may occur as
silent letters.

At times, you may find them at the beginning, end, or center of the words, and
you wouldn’t know they were there based on the word’s sound.
Lengthy Words

When you break them down into their component pieces, they’re not as
terrifying as they seem. This is how most lengthier words function and many
of them are scientific or medical phrases. You’ll have a good start if you
understand the most frequent Latin and Greek roots (there are many lists
online, such as this one).

Examples:

 antidisestablishmentarianism
  supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Is the Word British or American?

The majority of the spelling changes between the two forms are common and
well-known. There’s undoubtedly a lot to say about it, but one of the main
reasons is that British English has sought to maintain the spelling of the terms
it has taken from other nations for the most part. To simplify spelling,
American English has attempted to confirm the spelling of specific terms to
the way they are spoken in English.

American British

labor labour

color colour

favor favour

favorite favourite

realize realise

apologize apologise

license licence

defense defence

committing mistakes:
What are a Few Tips to Improve Your English Spelling?

These suggestions for improving your spelling are based on professional

guidance. Take a look at the fundamentals listed below:

 Keep a list of difficult terms. Underline the word’s most difficult section.
 Don’t use a spell-checker! Don’t trust a spell-checker. The most often
misspelled terms I’ve seen online are there and there.
 Learn words’ prefixes and suffixes.
 Don’t depend on the rules. As previously said, every rule has an
exception.
