Hello everybody!

I have some questions for you dear HH students. Everyone says that English is difficult, pronunciation, grammar, many words, they speak inversely as we do and so on but English speaker people think the same about spanish. Actually, as a foreign language teacher I can say that Spanish is in the top 10 about most difficult languages. 

Do you agree? I am sure you maybe don't. So, I have a video for you about English speaker traying to say Spanish "difficult" words. Watch the video and answer the questions.

Why is Spanish extremely difficult for other languege speakers?

Where did you learn to pronounce correctly?

If you were a native English speaker did you have problems with pronounciation?

Now, tray to say the following English words.

1. Encourage        6. Think

2. Through            7. Settled

3. Cooked             8. Realized 

4. Literature          9. International

5. Knowledge       10. Dictionary

If you think you have done well, send an audio to the Whatsapp group and share your pronunciation to us. 

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy the video. See you soon.
