Mispronounciations

One, two, tree...

Lets practice.

The rain in spain falls mainly on the plain...

Round the rugged rocks the ragged rascal ran...

She sells seashells by the seashore...

Peter piper picked a pack of pickled peppers.

You have to say them 3 x fast.

If you want Bible I will give you Genesis 11 in six different translations. I had chinese, russian, arabic, english, spanish and vietnamese.

God help you if you mispronounce Chinese. You could be trying to say the Lords prayer but it might turn out you are just making Him laugh at your bad Chinese.

So while looking to learn an Australian accent I found this.... then thought of this thread

Or for the pedantic...

how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Haha aussie english. Nzers also speak very fast. Evryone tells me my english is very good, but i just have to tell them thats really no great achievement on my part, I grew up speaking it.

Libry or liberry?
I would prefer libry, but I wonder if I just put that on my sign instead of Library, whether the teachers would notice? What if, to make things easier, we just wrote phonetically or all spoke pidgin?

Hardest consonants/ syllables to say
'Th' 'br' 'gl' 'h'

If you think those are unpronounceable, you would want to avoid Irish Gaelic!

But then the ghost of subjunctive past showed up and told me I should stand strong on "if it were."



The chemistry experiment had me figuratively... and then literally... glued to my seat.


But really... I could care less.

Okay, something a bit more on thread topic...




It can be fun...



But before you go, could you tell me which way to the airpart?

The downside is Lanolin will never know I posted those so-very-apropos comics. Oh well, I could care less. I could LITERALLY care less.

Not island.

When my son was in kindergarten, I had a big "AHHH" moment one day while his teacher was showing me some work at conference time. Since I saw the work he brought home I was familiar with what they were learning and his progress. She started "reading" his picture story to me and I was like "WOW! What a great memory you have!"
She looked at me puzzled
I said "well, I don't see anywhere on the paper where you have notes as to what the labels on the pictures are saying, so you must have a great memory to have done this paper 2 months ago and still be able to know what he talked about; either that or you reviewed it with him this week"
She said, "No, I just read it to you"
"yeah but, whats written is a bunch of random letters. How can you read that and know what it says?"
She then proceeded to read the words he had written and point out to me how it was phonetically written as he heard it.
I had fun over the next few days when waiting in the hallway to pick him up as I "read" all the kindergartners papers hanging there.
So for example
DANS would be how they wrote DANCE.

okay lanolin, you made me do this......

Thought "YOU ALL" might enjoy this one....

How not to talk...

Lol! you wouldn't like living in Australia then - we abbreviate like mad & don't say anything correctly! Loveable larrakins that we are

Isn't liberry how people say library in the Southern US?

I'd love to visit the south of the USA but it's way too expensive for me. Would luv to try authentic Southern cooking. Yummo!
