Slightly is a word coming directly from the Oxford 3000 words list aimed at helping ESL learners approach the language in a different way.

Examples:
It is slightly different.
The picture frame is slightly crooked.
Your email is slightly wrong.

In DIILE we approach English learning from a different perspective. We know the approach to speaking has been incorrect. That is why ours focuses on enhancing speaking skills while emphasizing the need to understand the culture. Remember, ERRORS are your best fiend.

Use "a shame" to show that you feel like something has been lost or wasted. For example, if someone spilled ink on a pair of pants that she has just bought, you can say:

What a shame!

In spoken English, some letters may be omitted or pronounced differently depending on various factors, including regional accents, informal speech, and context. Here are some common examples of letter omissions or alterations in spoken English:

Consonant Cluster Reduction: In casual speech, especially in some accents, consonant clusters at the beginning or end of words may be simplified or omitted. For example:

"going to" can become "gonna"
"asked" can sound like "ast"
Schwa Sound (ə): The schwa sound (a short, unstressed "uh" sound) can replace vowel sounds, leading to omissions or reductions in certain syllables. For example:

"banana" might be pronounced as "buh-nan-uh"
"chocolate" might be pronounced as "chaw-kuh-lit"

Take into account that if you learn a word in its four forms you will educate your brain to make smart connections so when you speak it chooses the right one. What is abandon as a noun?
