How do you pronounce OFTEN?

Hello everyone, this is Lucy from English with Lucy.

I’ve got a really, really quick video answering a question that I’ve been getting quite a lot and it is how do you pronounce this word? Well, there are two acceptable ways of pronouncing it. Now, originally in old, old English, the only correct way was often.

Often. But now many, many people pronounce it often. Often. And Cambridge and Oxford dictionaries both accept this pronunciation. I am actually more inclined to pronounce it often as well simply because it’s something that my parents said.

So, both are absolutely fine and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Big kiss to all my Lucifers and I’ll see you again for another lesson very, very soon.
