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, and norse languages.

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.

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!".
