German EFL learner homophones

[mothwing]

One of the learners in my tutoring centre has the most interesting pronunciation. She was reading a text the other day and it took a while for me to figure out what she was talking about.





Oh. And "sought", forgot about that one. I think she was talking about a sword, about which she had thoughts. But I can't be certain.

Yep, that's what they do here, or to try and imitate someone with an English accent or someone who's lisping. Works, too. Just with students whose pronunciation errors are fossilised it's infinitely harder, obviously.
