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.

I'm told she does, but can't tell the difference there, either. o.O She must either be lying or have the ultimate tin ear.
