How Well Do You Understand Native Speakers? ENGLISH QUIZ

Hey there! It's Hadar. Thank you for joining me and today we have a fun

episode because today I have a quiz for you!

The purpose of this quiz is to see

how attached you really are to the written word.

As you know, English is not a phonetic language.

So what I decided to do is to introduce you to a phrase

written as if English was phonetic and to see if you can understand what the

original phrase is by reading it out loud.

So first you have to read it out loud otherwise it doesn't work.

And second, you have to see what comes up because what you will be reading is going to sound

different than the way you perceive the word. Because a lot of times what we see

is not what we hear and then we assume that a word should sound a certain way

when in fact it sounds completely differently. We use different sounds,

we connect the words differently. So this is going to expose it and see if you feel

safe when that happens or if you feel stressed when you're taken out of your

comfort zone meaning out of the the English that you know written English.

By the way next week I'm going to share all the answers with you and show you why I

chose to write it in that way in that particular way.

But if you can't wait till next week then I've prepared an answer sheet for you.

You can download it here by clicking the link in the description below or somewhere here and

then you can get the phrases and the true meaning. Okay?

Are you ready? Let's get started!

Here's the first one. What is the original phrase?
