@TeacherMelanie Ohhhh, no problem lady :D Brazilians, Central Americans, Frenchs, Japaneses, we are all people :D and you're right, we,Spanish speakers, also say "I have a doubt" and I guess Italians say it too, but now I know that we have to say "I have a question" (memorizing memorizing) ^_^

@RobertoJRH I'm so sorry to confuse you with a Portuguese speaker! I am so used to hearing Brazilians say 'I have a doubt' that I assumed you were Brazilian too = )

@TeacherMelanie Hhehehe, I'm a native Spanish speaker and Spanish is very similar to Portuguese, maybe that's why I speak in English thinking in Spanish but now I already know it "I have a question" hehehehe Thanks for that explanation and for the "CH" explanation too! ( I guess I'll start to memorize them right away) :-D
do british people pronounce the same way?

@Yara290884 Good question! No, they don't. The British spell some of the words differently, and they pronounce many of the vowels differently. The also fully pronounce the letter 't.' If you'd like to practice British pronunciation, the BBC Learning English site has a great pronunciation section! You can also use the Cambridge Dictionaries Online. = )

@batmanoo7 Hello! I think you are confused. Whenever you see 'ch' in a word, most of the time it will be pronounced 'ch.' There are only 50-60 words where the 'ch' is pronounced /k/. The 'ch' is never written with a 'k.' It's much easier to understand than you think it is!
