Greetings Halloween blog readers! As you can see, this is Blog 99! Only one blog away from our landmark hundredth! This is the third Halloween blog! In the first, 2017, we looked at the spooky ‘-ing’ form and the ghostly ‘exophoric reference’ In 2018 it was Area 51 and ghoulish grammar rules! This year we’ll continue the recent theme of pronunciation with a couple of terrifying tongue twisters!
If two wicked ‘wiki’ watching witches watched three wicked watches on ‘wiki’, which wicked ‘wiki’ watching witch would watch which wicked watch?
Apologies if you’re trying this in Germany, as the /w/ and /v/ sounds might be causing a few challenges. Apologies too if you’re in the Arabic speaking world, as the reduced number of short vowel sounds might be causing you a few challenges. Rest assured, here at ETC International, we’re wizards with pronunciation and have a more than a few pronunciation spells up our sleeves! Apologies for the late posting of the blog, by the way, there’s been a lot of sickness about here at the moment!
Until next time. Hope you get treats and not tricks!
