MORE PRONUNCIATION !! TRY THIS ONE !!!




It’s very strange, but did you know
Do will never sound like go?
Ocean doesn’t rhyme with Clean;
Clean’s like green and magazine,
Doll will never rhyme with roll,
Roll’s like hole and also goal.
Slower doesn’t rhyme with flower
And four will never sound like our
Good’s like wood but not like food,
Would’s like could but not like rude
You know that wounds are not like pounds
‘Cause letters aren’t the same as sounds

Ocean doesn´t rhyme...



With Clean !!

Let's work our pronunciation with some Poetry... Do you want to try?



It’s very strange, but did you know
Shoe will never rhyme with toe?
And foot will never sound like boot
Boot’s like suit and flute and fruit;
Foot’s like put and feet’s like seat;
Great’s like eight but not like eat;
Work is not pronounced like fork.
Fork’s like walk and also talk.
Why is beard  not like heard?
Why does bird rhyme with word?
This is what I’ve sometimes found:

Spelling’s often not like sound.


ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION IN USE (Intermediate)
Cambridge (Mark Hancock)

Shoe will never rhyme with toe????
