Gateway to Grammar: Spelling Tips for Difficult Words in English

Spelling can be a little tricky in English because it is a language that has many different "language parents" like Latin, Greek, French, and Norse languages.

Spelling ‘Beautiful’

‘Beautiful’ is a word that many people struggle to spell. A little memory trick to spell it correctly is to say "It is important to BE A beautiful person". This helps to remind you that there is sneaky 'a' in the spelling of beautiful.

Spelling With Songs

The ultimate trick to remembering anything in languages is to use a song. Find a song that you like that has 5 beats, and sing the spelling like this: "be-a-u-ti-ful". ‘Say a Little Prayer’ by Dionne Warwick works great for this spelling ... "Be-a-u-ti-ful are you!".
