Language bliss & blunders: Similar sounding words (March 2012)

It's about a month till our language assessment in November! Thought I'd post up some of our LANGUAGE BLISS & BLUNDERS from our past newsletters just to remind ourselves how far (or not!) we've come!

From DJ tales 3. 3 (March 2012)

Words that sound alike but have different meanings can be quite confusing (not to mention a source of great embarrassment!)

HORSE vs. STUDENT

Jess has made this mistake – calling a student, a horse instead!

(dog) BARK vs. BOIL

A dog boiling? We’ve had that thought a couple of times about the one disturbing our sleep!

The mistakes we REALLY don’t want to make:  

APPLE vs. FART

CAKE vs. URINE

We’re really glad that OMF wants us to learn the Khmer alphabet & pronunciation well. A little hard work now will certainly save us a lot of miscommunication & embarrassment in the future!
