Ordinary questions like

“What’s your favorite beach (bitch)?”

can get us (as, ass)

non-native English speakers

into real trouble,

unless you’re a badass at speaking the language

or a sucker for phonetics (For what?😂 )

But if you’re like me,

full (fool) of hope for achieving decent pronunciation in English,

you’ve surely noticed

that certain words sound so similar

you can’t tell them apart.

If that’s the case,

take a piece (peace, piss) of paper

or a sheet (shit) of paper,

write down the ones

whose key sounds

you just can’t quite get right.

And practice,

mess it up,

laugh it off,

and try again.
