A very difficult poem proving that English is difficult to pronounce. The words are below the video.

I take it you already know
Of tough and bough and cough and dough?
Others may stumble but not you
On hiccough, thorough, slough and through.
Well done! And now you wish perhaps,
To learn of less familiar traps?

Beware of heard, a dreadful word
That looks like beard and sounds like bird.
And dead, it's said like bed, not bead-
for goodness' sake don't call it 'deed'!
Watch out for meat and great and threat
(they rhyme with suite and straight and debt).

Most people who speak English, when asked what is the longest word they know, will say: antidisestablishmentarianism.

This word was first created to oppose the disestablishment of the Church of England.
Nowadays, people use the word to say that they are opposed to the belief that there should not be an official church in a country.

Try saying this word 3 times fast!

Antidisestablishmentarianism
Antidisestablishmentarianism

:) Good luck!
