Pronunciation is one of the most difficult things in English. I was reading a few words that I thought were interesting. "break" is pronounced br-ay-k and "steak" is pronounced st-ay-k but "bleak" is pronounced bl-ee-k and "streak" is pronounced str-ee-k. Just by changing some consonants, the whole vowel sound changes even though "ea" is still used.

There are always things that are hard to say in any language. Try saying this three times fast. I bet your tongue won't seem to work right.

Tie twine to three tree twigs.
