@kilolingo.bsky.socialFrench pronunciation rewards learning the silent letters as a system, not word by word. Final consonants usually go quiet, 'eaux' is just 'o'. Once the rules click, spelling stops looking like a cruel joke. #LanguageLearning #French #Pronunciation
@odonohoe.bsky.socialEven the days of the week can spark a pronunciation showdown. How do you say Tupperware, cabinet, button, and Saturday? #theodonohoeagencygalveston #Pronunciation
@emory-f8.bsky.socialYeah, that bothers me too.
I live in Indiana, so that's two out of every three people I meet.

@twichty.bsky.socialIs that how you say it??! #twichty #twitch #pronunciation
@nihongo-sensei.bsky.socialJapanese 'r' sound is neither English R nor L โ it's somewhere in between, like a soft 'd' almost. ใ ใ ใ ใ ใ. Practice saying 'ladder' really fast! ๐ ๐ฃ๏ธ Try using this today! #LearnJapanese #Pronunciation
@andrewcgrant.bsky.socialIs it AL-mond or AH-mond? It's both.
The story of "almond" involved adding an L to its spelling, losing it from its pronunciation, then adding it back in its pronunciation due to its spelling.
@hebrewbyinbal.bsky.socialPronouncing the โSukkotโ greeting correctly and so much more with my PSP System!
Speaking Hebrew with the proper syllable emphasis is a must. Come learn more about how I help you master it.
@andrewcgrant.bsky.socialNo one agrees how to say "pecan" (and that's fine)
Many think it's a regional split but survey data tells a different story, one involving 3 axes of difference and an Algonquian origin.
@andrewcgrant.bsky.socialApe-ricot or app-ricot? It's both. And Iโm not sure how we got here.
"Apricot" circled the Mediterranean, turned P to B and back, and added an Arabic definite article. And yet none of that explains the different pronunciations.

@andrewcgrant.bsky.socialIs it "care-a-mel" or "car-muhl"? It's both, and so many more.
It varies by region, with the OED listing six acceptable pronunciations (no matter how the French pronounce it)
@kilolingo.bsky.socialRecord yourself speaking, then wince. Everyone hates it. But you cannot fix a sound you never hear yourself making, and the gap between how you think you sound and how you do is where the accent lives. #LanguageLearning #Pronunciation
@habliko.bsky.socialPractice the "th" sound by gently placing your tongue between your teeth and blowing airโtiny effort, big clarity! ๐ฆ

@kilolingo.bsky.socialMandarin tones are not decoration; they're the word. 'ma' can mean mother, hemp, horse or scold depending on pitch. Learn each word with its tone from day one. Bolting them on later is far harder than doing it right first. #LanguageLearning #Mandarin #Pronunciation
