Anglos enjoy the occasional syllabic consonant.

Must be hell if you speak a romance language.

Every word with more than one "r" in it.

>>70041381
It has a different meaning and pronunciation in English so it might as well be a different word.

Think of it as spelled like 'SuWa-To'

Cock.

I can tell the difference betwen "j" and "sh" but I can't pronounce "j" properly.

like I'd say "John" as "Sean" instead.

Have you learned nothing from memes?

>>70044763
Are you thinking of inarticulate?

>>70044763
I don't think so, intraarticular would mean "inside the arterial (blood) system" although intravenous is the common word. For someone who speaks poorly you could say inarticulate.

>>70044128
You're right.

>>70044894

post recording

just say f for the th sound
it happens quite often even among natives, actually only natives do this

it is the right wrong way

>>70045222
some brits pronounce the "th" as "f", they're retarded like that.
the ukranian is just having a hard time because to some people the "th" sound doesn't exist and it's really difficult to incorporate once you already know how to speak a language.

>>70045222
Do you pronounce it differently? I have a bit of a Russian accent and ffrone sums it up for me. I know that's not it but i don't know how to write that actual sound.

>>70041126
>Entrepreneur
this, and any english word derived from french

+ birthday, the fucking worst

>>70045349
it's like an "s" but with your tongue between your teeth, which makes it sound between an "s" and an "f".
just look it up on youtube, there's several good videos that explain the sound.

>>70044754
John has the "dj" sound, Sean has the "sh" sound. Also Sean has the "ó" vowel, John has the "a" vowel.

>>70045418
I know how to pronounce it but don't know how to write it without
>"s" but with your tongue between your teeth, which makes it sound between an "s" and an "f"
ffrone seems close enough

I don't know how to pronounce ''schedule''.

>>70045990
Conoisseur is litterally French and it's actually conaisseur but they bastardized it

>>70045634
You're a cosmopolitan man. You can figure it out.

>>70045990
Connoisseur varies because it's an approximation of a french word, so it doesn't matter that much. It comes out similar to either "con-uh-ser" or "con-uh-soor". The vowel in thaw is pronounced like a longer version of the one in 'thought' (or maybe 'father' depending on the accent). It's not a diphthong or anything weird.

>>70044292
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language
Because English through its history has changed considerably in response to contact with other languages, particularly Old Norse and Norman French, some scholars have argued that English can be considered a mixed language or a creole – a theory called the Middle English creole hypothesis. Although the high degree of influence from these languages on the vocabulary and grammar of Modern English is widely acknowledged, most specialists in language contact do not consider English to be a true mixed language
