      I was getting my nails done by a Vietnamese woman once, and the word “hazard” came on TV. She went and grabbed a calendar and pointed to the word “Kwanza” and asked what it was! I’m assuming the ‘Z’ is what correlated the two since we hardly use that letter

    • @harsimaja9517
      @harsimaja9517 4 роки тому +467

      The second one has more consistent rules and it comes from Greek, so the French have a cognate word almost exactly like it just pronounced with different (but both-ways consistent) rules.
      Thorough is a Germanic word, not closely related to anything in French, and since the loss of an actual gh sound spelt with the well known cursed ‘ough’, which is very irregular in English.

The problem is just that the rules of how to pronounce it are very different from a lot of other languages which may come to mind, such as English, German, Spanish, etc.

The word "travelling" as been dumbed down for the same reason. (Originally, double the final consonant and add "ing" because you keep the vowel neutral instead of bright.)

    I misread the title as "Persians" and was initially surprised to hear them speaking French.

    Back in the 60s a guest at the queens dinner asked Madame de Gaulle what she was most looking forward to in her retirement, which was imminent.
    “With great elaboration (as she didn't speak much English) she replied: ‘A penis.’"
    But the Queen turned it around and stepped in to correct the situation.
    Mr Helliker continues: “An awkward silence ensued for some time, until the Queen herself came to the rescue, and she said with a broad grin: ‘Ah, happiness.’”

      Absolutelly . I am Spanish , Iwork in a hotel , and a lot of people who talk english to me , pronounce it not very acuratelly since it is not their first language , and you get used to understand them all . I lost all my shyness about my nasty pronunciation talking to Russians and being able to comunicate just ok like than . Once you lost your shame , you start improving by imitating native english speakers and wanting to get better with them .

      @@TheMaru666 I'm glad you found your courage. We native Brits really dont expect non natives to pronounce English like the queen of England. Nor do we, remember that in Britain there are 37 different dialects and 64 distinct accents of English. We are used to hearing pronounciation changes so non natives have that advantage, in fact we love hearing our language spoken with a continental style - it makes our language sound sexier lol.
