English Langueguegae, we've all had a new of your making it too for us to Prono Anke. Have you guys seen this video? I will link to it in the description. This guy sings a whole song about how abominably difficult it is to pronounce the English language.

And I almost said to learn the rules of pronunciation for the English language, but it might be doing language learners a disservice to call them rules because one

maybe the attic, and discovering all this awesome memorabilia

from like five generations back.

That's what studying English can be a little bit like. And I'll from like

me thinking about

which is a whole other axis of translation.
