That's why English is an easy language to learn, but difficult to master!

This will make you laugh then OrzzzEnglish is a West Germanic language that originated from Anglo-Frisian dialects brought to Britain in the mid 5th to 7th centuries AD by Anglo-Saxon migrants from what is now northwest Germany, southern Denmark and the Netherlands. The Anglo-Saxons settled in the British Isles from the mid-5th century and came to dominate the bulk of southern Great Britain.

What about the pronunciation of dough, plough, tough, through?
And many more!!!
English is my 3rd language and I really struggled with it when I was at school! But then when I was in England, one day it just "clicked" ...

What about people who say: "I would of done that" instead of "I would HAVE done that"... My native language is SPANISH and even I, know that!...

Hi Melody
Some pronunciations have nothing to do with the language and more to do with which part of the country you are from. As an English person I have difficulty in understanding how some people from the North talk. It's called dialect.

Say this out loud: air, ear, hair, here, heir, hare. I think there is another missing word.As you said, the context is important. I have studied some French, but the way it is spoken and the way it is written is completely different.

The fair maiden paid a fair price for her fare to The Fair. There she ate delicious fare. Afterward, she thought she would buy a pear, and sit and pare it, and then sew a button on her pair of slacks. So, while she sat down to sew, she wondered if the weather would be good so she could sow her garden. Just then, a carnival bear wandered out of his cage, but she couldn’t bear it. She decided to go home, and had to drive on a parkway, and then park in her driveway. .......------ This thread is Archived ------
