 LanguagesAsk questions or just talk about different languages. Since BrainKing is an international game site supporting many languages, this board can be kind of useful. Since we will be dealing with pronunciation of words rather than their spelling, I think it's useful to have a link to The sounds of English and the International Phonetic Alphabet. To see translations of some frequently used phrases and sentences in other languages see Languages You are not allowed to post messages to this board. Minimum level of membership required for posting on this board is Brain Knight. Mode: Everyone can post
29. June 2006, 11:03:38 Modified by King Reza (29. June 2006, 11:04:16) Last night I came by a sentence like this: It's Lui the sixth's throne. I was wondering if the native speakers really pronounce all the 5 consonants that I have shown in red. It's really difficult for me to pronounce them all, though not impossible. I really have to concentrate to pronounce them fully and without a mistake! 29.

All I need in the middle of talking to an important person there in the U.S., is having to use that sentence with those consonants! 29. June 2006, 12:32:03 Subject: Re: King Reza: lol Yes, that would be embarrassing..:} however, it would be rare that those consonants would come together in normal conversation. Just in case they do...LOL..say you learned the word from a Southerner...everyone knows that the South has their own language and their own way of pronouncing words..:} |
