Tango Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Just been educating some French people in the art of the English language! It's only when you try to teach someone else, that you realise how weird English is! And then try to explain what a doer is, or why read can mean "to read" or "have read"......yes, it's spelled the same, but pronounced differently! Or how to pronounce queue.....yes, just ignore how it's spelled, think of it as kew.....what? That doesn't help? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pronunciation in Spanish is very straightforward......you speak it as you read it. English is a total different proposition for foreigners trying to learn it.
