Beach or bitch?

本帖最后由 billzhao 于 2015-3-9 19:39 编辑

Pronunciation is a crucial part of learning any language. Some would even argue that it’s the most important. It doesn’t matter how much you know about the grammar rules if your pronunciation is so terrible that people can’t understand you.

Are you one of the many English learners who mix up the pronunciation of the two words: BITCH and BEACH? Do not feel bad about yourself because most nonnative speakers find differentiating the two nearly impossible! Chinese do not have these two sounds, so when reading the word beach people intuitively pronounce it like bitch. Mastering the I in “bitch" is going to take training both your ears and your mouth.
