More pronunciation fun…

Or, why English is so difficult!

When I saw the tear in the fabric, I shed a tear.
He wound the bandage around the wound.
The hiker chose to desert his dessert in the desert.
Since there is no time like the present, you may present the present.
We must subject the subject to a series of tests.

Jonathan,

Excellent take on the pronounciations of the same words within the English language. It is amazing how people who have learned another language are able to comprehend the various nuiances of this very tough language.

Stay well and keep up the excellent newsletter.
