Hahahaha! Mwalimu Mhandisi Bwana Courage, your class is very educative kwani pole pole unatukumbusha. Nimewahi kuchekwa sana na wapwa wangu wanaoishi Uingereza (hawajui kabisa Kiswahili) kwa kutamka maneno haya:

months (miezi) na maths (kifupi cha mathematics; hisabati)
. Ilikuwa mwaka 1998 hadi leo sijui nilikosea wapi.... msaada tafadhali!

Courage!

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.

English is a tough language to learn because there's no formula for pronunciation. each word is memorized on its own.


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.

Mwai,

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.

House Chores ?   It's simple:  Ha-u-s  ch-o-o-s     Neno hilo latamkwa kama choo

I'm back once again with a yet another word that I've noticed latatiza watu sometimes.

The word is JUICE  as in Orange Juice.

I have heard several people say:   Ju-i-s   This is wrong

The correct way is:                          Ju-u-s  or J-u-s

Very simple.

I hope this has clarified it for those who were not 100% sure about how to pronounce this word.

Courage
