Nobody Will Know !!! (PronunciationHacks)

 

I’ve paid keen attention to the English pronunciations here in the Uk, and I’ve come to find out that they don’t stress themselves to pronounce words ‘correctly’, as we non-natives are taught to.

There’s a trick to their pronunciations and I’ve tagged it the “nobody-will-know” style.

So for most  English speakers here, for example in pronouncing THOUGHT, instead of using their tongues in between their teeth to produce a theta sound, they rather use the F sound. 

So when they say a sentence like “I THOUGHT you’ll be coming to the event”, you’ll hear: “I FOUGHT you’ll be coming to the event”.

That’s the trick!😂 

So, dear non-native English speakers, stop stressing yourself and biting your tongues in attempt to pronounce words correctly, the owners of English don’t stress themselves. 

 Feel free to say: FREE instead of THREE, no body will know! 🤷‍♀️ 

 Say VEM instead of THEM. No body will know! 🤷‍♀️

 Say FREE FIRTY, instead of THREE THIRTY. No body will know. 🤷‍♀️

 Say TOGEVA instead of TOGETHER. No body will know!🤷‍♀️

 Say FENK YOU instead of THANK YOU.

 ANOVA instead of ANOTHER.

 FRU instead of THROUGH.

 FOROR instead of THOROUGH.

 YOOF instead of YOUTH.

Nobody will know! 🤷‍♀️

The other day, a guy was saying what date he was born, I thought I heard TWENIE KNIFE, only to realize he actually meant TWENTY NINTH!
