lushlala Posted August 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 For some reason the word "rural" always trips me up. I can say it, of course, but I have to concentrate or it comes out wrong!Isn't it weird how we all have that certain word that trips us up?! Yet it's usually a word that the next person finds very easy to say, and they probably don't even think about it? I would be interested in knowing the reason for it, because it's just WEIRD LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trellum Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 I don't want to admit to myself or others that there might be any problems with my pronunciation. Whenever this happens, one of my friends ask me to say horse and wh#res and we both realise that I pronounce both pretty much the same.Whilst still in high school, my teacher couldn't tell the difference between 'pour' and 'poor' which left all students with a good laugh.Later on, I had several friends who pronounced words as vegetable very funnily vege-table (like the word table...). This included all 'table' words, also comfort-table Lol, omgg that is so funny!!!! Was your teacher Swedish? I love the way you guys pronounce words, I think when you speak English you guys got the nicest and cleanest accent, at least in my opinion. I worked with several swedes when I was living in Norway, very nice and responsible people. Nothing like the people I'll be working with very soon. Were your classmates also Swedish or Lithuanian? Lol ''comfor-table'', lol. I bet that was such a laugh fest for any English speakers around, hehehe. My mom makes the same mistakes when trying to speak English Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
