What a difference a consonant (K) makes !
English correct pronunciation makes many learners
complain about it and sometimes ,give up studying or
improving their speaking skill.
There are lots of words which sound
the same but their spellings and meanings
are different.
Examples:
No (the opposite of Yes ) and Know (verb)knew,known
have the same pronunciation.

- No,I don´t.

However the word :
Now (adverb) = at the moment sounds like
town ; brown ; cow; but not like
know(verb)!
As time goes by,these words are used
so frequently that they stop being a problem,
mainly when the learners can see :
No,Know and now in several contexts.
Then whenever there is a word you consider
difficult to pronounce,do not worry too much
about it .
Keep practising with a friend or a teacher , you
may also listen to songs on You Tube * ,watch
films and news reports.
In the end your pronunciation will improve
a lot !
*The song Hello Goodbye by the Beatles is a
very good one to listen to everyday words and
sing along to practise your pronunciation and
make it sound much better.
Enjoy !
