I’m learning my third language right now and the more I work on it, the more I’m glad that English is my native tongue because oh my god how does anyone learn the rules of this miserable cobbled-together nonsense that constantly has exceptions to its own rules and then exceptions to the exceptions
How has anyone learned to pronounce //a n y t h i n g// in English
All of you who learned English as a second language deserve an award and our apologies.
thank you that other day i learnt saloon is pronounced as saline and the only way to learn how to pronounce things in english is by being corrected by someone else bc you tried to pronounce a word logically
I hate to break it to you but at least in Ye Olde American English, saloon is sal-loon, saline is say-leen
The cycle of confusion continues
