    Reading a new English word as a foreigner is super frustrating because you never know how to pronounce that.

    Yes sure unanimous is not ‘un-animous’, it’s ‘you-nanimous’. Makes total sense.
    Don’t even get me started on the dozen different ways to pronounce ‘ough’.

      English is tough, but it can be understood through thorough thought, though.

      I’m learning Swedish slowly, and I was raised in the US south, so I am constantly corrected on pronunciation lol.
