😛 English Pronunciation Poem - Pronunciation Challenge 😛

English pronunciation is quite tricky, it’s true,

As blue, and blew too, they rhyme with two.

There’s little consistency between fear and bear,

The latter rhyming with there, their, and they’re.

And that’s not the worst of it, consider the ‘o’,

Lacks consistency between dot, do and don’t.

What has not got an ‘o’, nor has because.

A cause of confusion is has and was.

Though, thought and through boggle the mind.

Tough stuff our words, they are not well designed

Fork rhymes with walk, and bird with word,

Foot rhymes with put, not boot. I heard…

…learning English is hard, so here’s what to do,

Prioritise pronunciation and you will fly through.
