Most Difficult Poem to Say in English | THE CHAOS

[@Jaichbinhier]

As a native English speaker, I didn't listen to your attempt But went to the original and tried to read it sight unseen. That was much trickier than I thought! Thanks for this present; I'd never heard of that poem before, but I found it keen. :)

I've never come across this poem.. It's amazing and I'm quite happy that I'm not alone who mispronounce the words in English.. But teacher you've pronounced very well.. I think I need to practice this poem and I think my pronounciation would be rectified.. Well, thanks teacher for this great lesson.. I'm from India and sadly I don't sound like natives.. But I like the way you speak and I wish I would do the same.. But you helped me a lot regrading English Speaking.. Thanks teacher !

[@silk183927]

Thank you, that was useful) There is a question. Are there any words in this poem that used to be pronounced another way when this poem was created than they are now which might lead to rhythm and rhyme shift? I'm Russian, not sure you understand my question, but thanks anyway)

[@InteractiveEng]

Thanks for checking out the lesson. That's a good question. And I imagine some of thees words were pronounced different in Old English before the Great Vowel Shift occurred hundreds of years ago. 👍

@@InteractiveEng thanks for your answer. But I mean changes after this poem was created a hundred years ago (1920s). Maybe it sounded differerent in author's head :)

[@penguinlim]

@@silk183927 I think it's meant to be read in a british accent, so that has an effect on the pronunciation of the words

Hi Judit. Some of the homonyms I pronounced correctly but put in the wrong order. I know this because they were meant to rhyme with another word later on in the stanza. But if that's the case, I didn't highlight those. And supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is from Mary Poppins. 👍

Thanks for your comment. Pronunciation mistakes cover a wide range between using the incorrect sound, not being able to produce the sound, stressing the wrong syllable, or even using incorrect emphasis/intonation. As a native speaker, I can produce all the sounds, but I'll still mispronounce words from time to time. 👍
