😛 English Pronunciation Poem - Pronunciation Challenge 😛

English pronunciation is quite tricky, it’s true,

Pronunzja Ingliża hija pjuttost delikata, huwa veru,

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

Kif blu, u nefaħ ukoll, huma rima ma 'tnejn.

There’s little consistency between fear and bear,

Ftit hemm konsistenza bejn il-biża u l-ors,

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

L-aħħar rhyming ma hemm, tagħhom, u dawn qed.

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

U dak mhux l-agħar minnha, ikkunsidra l-'o',

Lacks consistency between dot, do and don’t.

M'għandux konsistenza bejn tikka, tagħmel u ma tagħmilx.

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

Dak li m'għandux 'o', u lanqas għandu għaliex.

A cause of confusion is has and was.

Kawża ta' konfużjoni hija għandha u kienet.

Though, thought and through boggle the mind.

Għalkemm, ħsieb u permezz boggle-moħħ.

Tough stuff our words, they are not well designed

Jittieħed iebsa kliem tagħna, mhumiex iddisinjati sew

Fork rhymes with walk, and bird with word,

Furketta rhymes ma walk, u għasfur bil-kelma,

Foot rhymes with put, not boot. I heard…

Foot rhymes ma put, mhux boot. Smajt...

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

...titgħallem l-Ingliż huwa diffiċli, allura hawn x'għandek tagħmel,

Prioritise pronunciation and you will fly through.

Ipprijoritizza l-pronunzja u int se ttajjar.
