| Like, you know the correct pronunciation, but you pronounce it differently for one reason or another. For me: Death - desu Avatar - aye-vah-tar Scion - skee-on lets play - retsu-purae mudkips- mudkipzz darkness - Dankness vegetable - Vegeta-bowl |

| I can't think of anything in particular, but there are certain English words that my North Germanic tongue can't help but butcher, so I simplify them in order to make them easier for me to pronounce. |

That's why I'm trying to sound as similar and accurately English as the average native English-speaking Person around, albeit I can't guarantee I were able to do as for all it be, I don't really have Practice in conversing orally in that Tongue. |

Duskfall said: "cwy-er"I don't pronounce wrong anything intentionally. If I mispronounce something, it's because I don't know how to read it. Like, how the hell, would you read "choir"? It's one of the most stupid "English" words, and I am pretty sure it's not even English, but some contrived, mistranslated Latin. |

| Mostly with greeting and calling out to someone I think. I dont use it often but I say hillo or hallo or helloo or heya and hiya. I guess the last two are short for hey you and hi you. I pronounce it closer to how its supposed to but a lot of people in the US pronounce au jus as aw juice.

mayukachan said: thanks -> sankyuuuu or dank + starlabbu said: Brother is brudder danks for proving my Point as well. I wonder whether the th Sound will eventually vanish or not, considering the Millions of English Learners who can't pronounce it or only with Difficulties and the native English Speakers, who are too lazy to do it properly, because trying to to pronounce it accurately takes a Lot of Energy, at least for me. traed said: Yeah, I've heard something along those Lines during English Classes in the 5th Grade and have been using that Method since then. Whether it actually sounds like θ or ð and not like something between f and s or v and s is another Matter altogether. you say θ sort of like f but with your tongue moved forward and stuck between your teeth with a hole just big enough to let a little air pass. ð i more like v with a similar tongue position as θ but its moved a little further back so just the tip of your tongue is against your teeth and your jaw closed just lightly more to cover the smaller gap. But thanks for the concise Reminder; it helps with getting a more sensible Image how to place the Tongue. |

| I pronounce the [th] sound as either a simple [t] or a [d], or a [sz], depending on the word. My language simply can't pronounce it correctly. I also have difficulties with pronouncing words that have an [a] in them that sounds more like an [ö] in my language. Like [rural]. And sometimes I mess up the pronounciation of words like [nervous] because the [ou] looks weird compared to how it is spelled. The German [nervös] is much easier to pronounce. |
Noboru said: Yeah you dont use your lower lip like f and v. Its your tongue there instead. S your tongue is more so touching lower teeth i think while θ and ð are more upper teeth. ð is just a little closer to z than s but with your jaw open slightly more and the tongue position i mentioned before.traed said: Yeah, I've heard something along those Lines during English Classes in the 5th Grade and have been using that Method since then.

| Soda sewda or pop pawp I dont get the silent letters in some words like home (would home be pronounced diferent with out the e) if the letter is silent why is it there? I know thats how words like home are spelt but how does a silent letter help pronunce words with silent letters? |

Szefi said: Wait... You're telling us that Hungarian "ö" is more like German "ü" or [y] in IPA?I also have difficulties with pronouncing words that have an [a] in them that sounds more like an [ö] in my language. Like [rural]. If anything, then Words like "burn" and "turn" sound more like "ö" or [ø] to me. traed said: That's what makes it so exhausting for me. Keeping it in the typical th-Positions is more straining for the Tongue than using it for an "L" Sound.Yeah you dont use your lower lip like f and v. Its your tongue there instead. I don't touch my Teeth with my Tongue with any "S" or "Z" Sounds at all. |
Noboru said: Yeah I didnt suggest z you touch your tongue. Just I meant how ð does not have as much of an air sound like s does and more a vibrational sound like z or v but its quick so the vibration is pretty unnoticeable. The tongue position of ð is very close to d for the tip of the tongue. Thats best i can try to describe it lol θ should be easier but both are used.That's what makes it so exhausting for me. Keeping it in the typical th-Positions is more straining for the Tongue than using it for an "L" Sound. I don't touch my Teeth with my Tongue with any "S" or "Z" Sounds at all. Oh and I put my hand on my throat to test. ð vibrates your vocal cords less than d and θ does not at all. If that helps any more |

There are not many English words that have characters with similar pronounciation to the German or Hungarian [ü]. Maybe [duel]? |
