北海道Hokkaido生活 for Japanese learners

〈#179〉　となりの小樽市（おたるし）

I want to talk to you about two very often confused words advice and advise. 
Advice. 
- Advice is a noun, an uncountable noun.It is spelled a-d-v-i-c-e. The ‘c’ sounds like an ‘s’. Advice. It is used to mean a suggestion about what you should do. 
Advise
- 
Advise is spelled a-d-v-i-s-e, and is a verb. The ‘s’ sounds like a ‘z’. Advise. It means to suggest what should be done, to recommend or to give information to someone. 
The main difference between advice and advise is the grammar.  So obviously, you can't use a noun in the place of a verb or a verb in the place of a noun. So if you know which is which and which pronunciation goes with which, you will never get it wrong. But a big problem is with advice being uncountable. So many times I hear, can I give you an advice? No no… it to give me a piece of advice or some advice - depending on whether you mean something singular or plural.
In theory it is very simple to understand, but if you don’t pay attention to learning the rules it can make a  big difference to you getting it right or wrong in Business English.
Every day, I hear so many advanced speakers who use these words wrong. So have a look, learn it, fix it, never get it wrong again. That's it today. Bye.

English on the Road 

The Five Oceans

I am an educator, mentor, and guide, I ignite the spark of possibility through communication. I equip professionals with the skills of confident communication, emotional intelligence, and strategic thinking. I empower them to break down barriers, unlock their potential, and navigate our ever-connected world. My mission is to foster connections that create positive change, build bridges across cultures, and create a world where clear communication fuels growth, trust, and innovation.

What does that mean?
My work isn't just a job, it's a mission. As an educator, mentor, and guide, I ignite a fire in people. Through the power of communication, I show them the possibilities that lie dormant within. I don't just teach; I equip.  I equip professionals with the tools they need to be confident communicators, understand the nuances of emotions, and think strategically. It's about empowering them to break down walls, unlock their full potential, and navigate the ever-evolving world of connection. My ultimate goal? To foster connections that drive positive change.  I envision a world where clear communication builds bridges across cultures, fostering trust, growth, and innovation. It's a world where communication isn't a barrier, but a bridge to a brighter future.


I don't invest in just teaching skills, I transform careers.  Imagine confidently presenting your ideas, navigating complex situations with emotional intelligence, and strategically solving problems. That's the impact I have. My clients land promotions because they radiate confidence and can advocate for themselves. They earn more because their strategic thinking adds value. They're trusted because they build strong relationships and clear communication fosters a foundation of trust.  And let's not forget new opportunities!  My clients stand out in the job market with a powerful communication skillset that makes them the ideal candidate.  I don't just equip you with skills, I equip you for success.
