German EFL learner homophones
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.

for no one had explained that lisping thing before.
That is insane. I'm not even a teacher, but my first words to someone explaining the "th" would be something along the lines of "imagine someone who's lisping".

Though, interestingly enough, while she got right the TH sounds in the text she was reading, she still didn't pronounce them when speaking. Babysteps... And I need a diplomatic way to do repeat that thing with her teacher. Er.
