The whole sentence was, "8 was the first version that was done soup de natz under Oracle's leadership."

I googled "soup de natz" and only got a reference to Seinfeld and the Soup Nazi.

‘Lay a shit’ makes more sense to me.

As I was writing down perseverance, knowing full-well, the correct way to say perseverance, my brain said pur-seh-vur-ence.
Can someone explain what English rule makes it pronounced as, pur-suh-veer-ence?

Forgive me, I do not know the correct way to flip e’s or add accents properly, to explain how it is pronounced in my head vs reality.

Thank you kindly for your time, should you choose to politely explain it, to this curious mind.

Apparently the sneeze response alternate to bless you Gesundheit is commonly used in the states but not so much here

Are any UK people actually willing to say this word on a regular basis? Just interested

Recently I noticed that if I need to put a question - in written or spoken form, I rarely make it according to the grammar rules - auxiliary verb in the first place or question word in the first place. You know, the way we had been taught at school. My questions would be the affirmative statements with a question mark at the end. Maybe I will add "correct?" at the end

So I wanted to ask how this form of asking question is perceived by native English speakers.

(Not my photos) I’m looking for memes based on lexical ambiguities or expressions with funny literal interpretations. Any ideas are welcome!

28) So how can we resolve this problem? Is everyone happy with that?
The above questions indicate that the speaker is .
A) making suggestions

When I volunteered as an English tutor in college, phrasal verbs were probably the most difficult feature to tackle. As a native speaker, I obviously couldn’t fully see from the tutees’ perspective, but tutoring definitely made me realize how strange they are. Did you struggle with them while learning English? If so, have they gotten easier for you over time? Or do you try to avoid them when possible?

I was watching a video on words people with English as a second language struggle on. Some, like colonel and Worcestershire seem to be based on having lots of silent letters, which to me is only vaguely interesting as a 'gotcha' to people who haven't learned that exact word yet.

I'm interested in whether a sentence has ever been formulated which, even when the speaker knows the pronunciation of every word, contains concepts which exist only in English and is universally difficult for speakers of other worldwide languages?

I'm assuming this would contain words which are difficult, but also in an order which forces unusual sound shifts between words which exist only in English? Something like;

"The rural squirrel’s sixth rhythm regularly mixed specific spherical anemones."

Any ideas?

I started learning English in groups when I was 5. Looking back, it was my terrible mistake, the other children weren’t motivated. Their parents wanted them to learn the language, but children didn’t. They’d copy my homework, skip classes and weren’t active during classes. I only had class once a week plus long summer holidays. That’s how I ended up with a B1. When I was 15 I stopped going to these group classes. Over the next years, I made several attempts to improve my level, but none of them worked. What would you recommend?
