BrainKing - Discussion boards (Languages)

Languages

Ask questions or just talk about different languages. Since BrainKing is an international game site supporting many languages, this board can be kind of useful.

Since we will be dealing with pronunciation of words rather than their spelling, I think it's useful to have a link to The sounds of English and the International Phonetic Alphabet.

To see translations of some frequently used phrases and sentences in other languages see Languages

Subject: Re:

Pedro Martínez: I'm sure of the pronunciation of the word "faxed." It is /faekst/.

Whenever a verb ends in a /s/ sound and it gets ed to change its tense to past, the 'ed' is pronounced /t/. But I'd like a native to confirm it.

About blue-eyed, it has three vowels after one another. Queue has four. That's if you don't coundt 'y' as a vowel, which I can assure you is not one!
