Ask 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.

Cinsidering the fact that many verbs in English are irregular and many words are made plural in ways other than adding 's' or 'es' to them, I was wondering if it ever happens that the natives make mistakes too. For example children. Has any native ever noticed a child say 'goed' for example, instead of went, etc. ?

King Reza: Yes, young children often make such mistakes. And it's not always a regular form that is used in place of the correct irregular form. When I was in grade school, some of the other children used to use "brang" rather than "brought" as the past tense of "bring", following the pattern of ring, rang, rung; sing, sang, sung; sink, sank, sunk; etc.

KotDB:I think if one understands how exactly the native children get to know their new knowledge of the language, one is able to learn the language just as well.

King Reza:

When my daughter was six years she was sent home from school one day with a terrible rash on her face and hands that was itchy, hot and inflamed. A short while later I was telling my sister-in-law about this puzzling incident. As I was explaining that her face had been seriously "irritated" my six year interrupted to say don't your mean "facetated".
