20 - The difficult listening of some words
I see that in English there is a short difference of pronunciation about some close words. I've been having difficulty with the words ''won't'' and ''want''. Them sounds very similar for me. So when I listen them I have to undertand the context.
I tried to add a mp3 audio from my Engish book here such a example about my problem, but I can't. No problem I hope the practising and the time can improve it.

won't is much LONGER than want
and the sounds are very different, unless you're talking about British English...
here's a simple rule
_______________
won't will never be followed by to
want will often be followed by to [I want to go out]
won't will always followed by a verb (except if it's at the very end of a sentence - 'I told him to but he won't'
