Okay, so after living in the US for 10 years, I still find myself getting confused like the word "lake" I would say it wrong if I don't pay attention. I really said "lick" a few times and nobody understood what I was saying. I guess we don't really use the word "lake" very often in Hong Kong xP Nice video, Siu Sir!!
With the benefit of living among native English speakers, and now that there are movies on DVDs and such, I'll keep my ears open on this. For now though, I would agree with the author only in theory. For most practical purposes though, 'take', 'make', ..., are not that different from 'tick', 'Mick', ..., etc.
Not that it wasn't an interesting point that the author raised. It was.
dangerous, 好多人讀 d-an(d)-gerous; 原來系da(y)-n-gerous
rain 同 ring 都算經典啦
change好難

A lot of students get confused with rain and ring. You've got a rain / You've got a ring. Of course, the former sentence makes no sense.

steak 易讀係因為口腔舌頭由ｉ音變ｋ音係好難，舌頭個感覺要由口腔前面走到後面，好多人舌頭唔靈活，又或者懶所以讀錯．shape 同 late 唔錯係因為做少ｄ力就讀到．至於ｎ音尾讀唔到，係因為ｄ係都發唔到正確ｎ音，佢地平時讀ｌ代替，依家要讀ｎ尾一定讀唔好．
