But while English may not seem like the most difficult language to pronounce, it has its fair share of words that can be hard to get your tongue around. This is mainly because the English language is a mishmash of words borrowed from other languages. Or inspired by other languages.

As an English learner, you may have noticed a disconnect between the pronunciation and spelling of certain words in English. Sometimes, how you spell a word has nothing to do with how you pronounce it or vice versa.

But whether you're learning English for personal or professional reasons, learning how to pronounce these challenging words will help you impress native speakers and take your English to the next level. So keep at it!

I'm not here to defend the episode, it was truly cringeworthy, and I agree that some of the pronunciation is atrocious, but as a Brit I can't understand what's so bad about the way we say "taco"! "Tack-o" to me sounds a lot more like the Mexican pronunciation of taco than the US American English "taaco". But I guess neither Brits nor Americans are pronouncing taco like a Mexican would! Can someone demonstrate with IPA what the differences are in the three(+) pronunciations?

Some authors spell words based on how they sound, which gives readers the advantage of pronouncing the words as they read. Others prefer to use a resource such as a Pennsylvania Dutch dictionary. But each author has her or his own favorite references, and not all references use the same spellings.

Many Amish words are spelled differently depending on whether the person being spoken to is male or female, adult or child, or even whether the child being addressed is very young or older. So you can see why I rely on a skilled source for the sprinkling of Pennsylvania Dutch I include in my novels.

Just an update. Still having problems, despite trying three or four alternate phonemic pronunciations. Used the alsamixer -c 1 command to boost the microphone input level, and observed the logs on my Rhasspy satellite/client using the Jabra 410 USB speaker/mic.

Most screen reader users are already familiar with how words are spoken by their tools, the quirks associated with abbreviations, dates, times, etc. By trying to override it you run the risk of confusing your users.

One approach would be to build a list with two versions of each word. One the correct spelling, and the other being the word spelled using the simplest of phonetic spelling. Apply a distance function on the two words (like Levenshtein distance _distance). The greater the distance between the two words, the harder the word would be to pronounce.

Great problem! Off the top of my head you could create a system which contains all the letters from the phonetic alphabet and with connected weights betweens every combination based on difficulty (highly specific so may need multiple people testing and take averages etc) then have a list of all words from the English dictionary stored on disk and call a script which cycles through each entry and performs web scraping on wikipedia for the phonetic spelling and ranks their difficulty. This could take into consideration the length of the word as well as the difficulty between joining phonetics then order the list based on the difficulty.

the first relates to the mechanics of phone sound production as the velum, cheeks tongue have to be altered to produce various sounds related to individual phones i.e nasal etc. this makes some words more difficult to pronounce as the movement required may be a lot. Refer to books about phonetics to find positions of pronouncing each phone.

We also recommend that you have a stand-alone audio player application that supports WAV sound files (e.g. Windows Media Player) installed on your computer in the event that the pronunciation does not play automatically when you click on the audio icon. Most newer operating systems come bundled with an audio player. Your browser should be configured to automatically associate WAV sound files with your audio player.

No, only those entries that have pronunciations listed in the definition have audio pronunciations. Among those that do not are thesaurus entries, abbreviations, and open compounds, such as "bird dog" and "red herring," the elements of which are pronounced at the "bird," "dog," "red," and "herring" entries. Also excluded are many entry words that appear within other entries, such as "stillness" at the end of the "still" entry. Words that are spelled and pronounced the same but entered separately, such as "crane" the noun and "crane" the verb, are a special case: only the entry listed first in the results list has an audio pronunciation.

This happens when part of the compound is already pronounced elsewhere in the dictionary. For example, at the "Grand Teton" entry "Grand" is not pronounced because it is already pronounced at the "grand" entry; "Teton" is pronounced, however, because there is no entry or pronunciation for "Teton" by itself. Similarly, at "Hohokam Pima National Monument," only the audio pronunciation "Hohokam Pima" is given, because "national" and "monument" are pronounced at their own entries.

Click on the "hear it again" link to replay the pronunciation until it no longer sounds clipped. You may have to replay the pronunciation more than once. If this doesn't help, try clicking on the "Click here to listen with your default audio player" link.

Click on the "hear it again" link to replay the pronunciation until it no longer skips. You may have to replay the pronunciation more than once. If the pronunciations skip consistently try clicking on the "Click here to listen with your default audio player" link. If they are skipping with your default audio player, you may have to change your default audio player.

Because I speak more than one language myself (English and German), I find it brings the word study to life when I can hear the pronunciation in Hebrew and Greek. These datasets tools also offer pronunciations in Aramaic in menu option "Tools Pronunciations", dropdown for Aramaic. But you have to paste into the inline search that Aramaic word, in Aramaic, which is what I don't know.

How can I find the Aramaic word to put in the Pronunciation search box when searching for the Aramaic pronunciation of the word "Have". I want to hear the word as Jesus pronounced it in Aramaic, not just in Greek

Can't speak to aramaic pronunciation. But the quickest NT english > Aramaic seems to use New Strongs Guide to view the hebrew semantic range. Then, use the Strongs against DBL-Aramaic .... which is not terribly efficient.

Another time I came across someone teaching Japanese pronunciation by analogy to English, I thought all but one of his examples were wrong. But then I realized that he was Australian, and his vowel sounds are mangled (to my ears) in English too.

The NATO phonetic alphabet is a Spelling Alphabet, a set of words used instead of letters in oral communication (i.e. over the phone or military radio). Each word ("code word") stands for its initial letter (alphabetical "symbol"). The 26 code words in the NATO phonetic alphabet are assigned to the 26 letters of the English alphabet in alphabetical order as follows:

The Pronunciation Database contains sound files which the user can click to listen to words in the three major dialects, namely Connacht, Ulster and Munster. The words are articulated by native speakers from the relevant dialects.

The following pronunciation respelling key is used in some Wikipedia articles to respell the pronunciations of English words. It does not use special symbols or diacritics apart from the schwa (tag_hash_111), which is used for the first sound in the word "about". See documentation for {{Respell}} for examples and instructions on using the template.

Respelled syllables are visually separated by hyphens ("-"), and the stress on a syllable is indicated by capital letters. For example, the word "pronunciation" (/prnnsien/) is respelled pr-NUN-see-AY-shn. In this example, the primary and secondary stress are not distinguished because the difference is automatic. In words where primary stress precedes secondary stress, however, the secondary stress should not be differentiated from unstressed syllables; for example, "motorcycle" (transcribed with the stress /motrsakl/ in American dictionaries, /motrsakl/ in British) should be respelled as MOH-tr-sy-kl because MOH-tr-SY-kl would incorrectly suggest the pronunciation /motrsakl/.

As designated in Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Pronunciation, the standard set of symbols used to show the pronunciation of English words on Wikipedia is the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The IPA has significant advantages over this respelling system, as it can be used to accurately represent pronunciations from any language in the world, and (being an international standard) is often more familiar to European/Commonwealth and non-native speakers of English. On the other hand, the IPA (being designed to represent sounds from any language in the world) is not as intuitive for those chiefly familiar with English orthography, for whom this respelling system is likely to be easier for English words and names. So, while the IPA is the required form of representing pronunciation, respelling remains optional. It should not be used for representing non-English words or an approximation thereof.

Sometimes another means of indicating a pronunciation is more desirable than this respelling system, such as when a name is intended to be a homonym of an existing English word or phrase, or in case of an initialism or a name composed of numbers or symbols. When citing a homonym, it should not be enclosed in the {{respell}} template. In such cases, an IPA notation is usually nevertheless needed, but not necessarily so; see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/PronunciationĀ  Other transcription systems for further discussion. ff782bc1db
