After speaking english (which is my second language and has nothing common with the slavic language I usually speak) for over 15 years, I learned TODAY that those words are supposed to sound different.
Thank you and next time please consider that people like me exist.
- Exuma 5y agoInteresting, so when you said the following 2 sentences: The team will lose the game. The lid on the jar is loose. How did you pronounce lose/loose up until now (either out loud or in your head)?
- gusmd 5y agoAnother ESL speaker here. To me they are pronounced exactly the same. The best way I can describe how I pronounce it to you is "loose" :)
- Exuma 5y agoLol hmmmm... very interesting. So how do you pronounce "nose" (like on your face)? Second question: how do you pronounce "bulldozer" (like the heavy machinery)
