Anna,
I'm not really a teacher by profession; I'm an Engineering Lecturer but I teach English to new immigrants on a volunteer basis on Saturdays. Most of the words I bring here for discussion are from my class, the words that pose challenges to my students. For example;
The word ROUGH is pronounced as R-A-A-F gh has an F sound
but
The word THOUGH becomes DH-O-O gh is silent. Even TH becomes DH !!!!!!
If you sit in my class, you'll be amazed at all the different pronunciation problems people have around the world.

CourageHouse Chores ? It's simple: Ha-u-s ch-o-o-s Neno hilo latamkwa kama chooMwai,I had the same problem with the word JUICE until I came to Canada and learned the correct way to do it. We all rely on how our teachers pronounce things so if a teacher does not know a word very well, we adopt the same mistake in pronouncing that word.

The word is JUICE as in Orange Juice.
