The importance of a good pronunciation...
As you know, there are some words in English that have a really similar pronunciation. This video explains why we should not rest on our laurels (dormirnos en los laureles) with our English learning and learn how to pronounce them correctly.
Those are the "guilty" words:
- pieces (piezas, trozos)/ piss (hacer pis)/ peace (paz).
- beach (playa)/ son of a bitch (hijo de mujer de moral realajada)
- fork (tenedor)/ fuck.
- sheet (hoja, sábana)/ shit (hacer caca).
I love the expression "to rest on our laurels".
ResponderEliminarBut the expression "to rest on our laurels" is used in UK? Literally translated like "against the ropes" (contra las cuerdas) ? ?
