Learner's Mistake One
"OR" or "OW"?

A student wrote:
"When I have enough money, I want to buy a big horse with three bedrooms and two bathrooms."
Explanation: That would be a REALLY big horse! Of course, some students have trouble remembering
the correct pronunciation of words that sound similar (almost the same) such as "horse" and "house".
If you've ever had this problem, then you need
to practice many times in order to break this habit. You must repeat "horse" many times, while imagining a horse
(an animal). Then repeat "house" many times while imagining a place to live. If you think you need more practice, try
imagining a horse in a house while repeating "the horse is in the house" or "why is a horse in the house?".
And if you really
want to get crazy (which sometimes helps us remember) try to imagine a house in a horse! Repeat a sentence such as
"how did the house get inside the horse?" I think, in that case, such a horse eats like a pig! (^_^)
