Non-rhyming words to learn American English pronunciation

ESL/EFL students can learn a lot about English pronunciation by studying words that rhyme as well as words that appear to rhyme, but don't. Vowel sounds in particular cause pronunciation confusion due to multiple sounds that use a single pronunciation. For example, the words boot and foot do not rhyme, yet the words foot and put do rhyme, despite different spellings.

Learn commonly confused sounds during this American English pronunciation video by Seattle Learning Academy.

@MyMerlin1 Its funny how the brits say "bloody" with a silent d. They pronounce "letter" with silent "t's". What's up with that?

Im so glad I'm a native speaker of American English. This seems impossibly hard to learn if I were not. So many rules yet half the words don't follow them lol

[MyMerlin1]

American English is an arse rape of the English language
