“I take it you already know of tough and bough and cough and dough?”

/aɪ/ /teɪk/ /ɪt/ /yu/ /ɔlredy/ /noŭ/ /ɔf/ /tʌf/ /æn(d)/ /baʊ/ /ænd/ /kʌf/ /ænd/ /daʊ/

I take it you already know of tough and bough and cough and dough?

/aɪ/ /teɪk/ /ɪt/ /yu/ /ɔlredy/ /noŭ/ /ɔf/ /tʌf/ /æn(d)/ /baʊ/ /ænd/ /kʌf/ /ænd/ /daʊ/

Others may stumble, but not you, on hiccough, thorough, lough and through?

/ɒθərs/ /meɪ/ /stɑmbəl/ /bʌt/ /nɔt/ /yu:/ /ɔn/ /hikʌf/ /θuru/ /lč:/ /ænd/ / θru/

Well done! And now you wish, perhaps, To learn of less familiar traps?

Beware of heard, a dreadful word

/bɪwær/ /ɔf/ /hərd/ /ə/ /dredfʊl/ /wɔrd/

That looks like beard and sounds like bird, And dead: it’s said like bed,

/θæt/ /lʊks/ /laɪk/ /bIrd/ /ænd/ /sʌunds/ /laɪk/ /bərd/ /ænd/ /de:d/ /ɪt(s)/ /seɪd/ /laɪk/ /be:d/

not bead

/nɔt/ /bɛ:d/

For goodness sake don’t call it deed! Watch out for meat and great and threat

/fɔ/ /gʊdnəs/ /sɛɪk/ /dɔnt/ /kɔl/ /ɪt/ /dɪd/ /wɔtch/ /aʊt/ /fɔ/ /mɪ:t/ /ænd/ /grɪ:t/ /ænd/ /θrɪt/

(They rhyme with suite and straight and debt).

/θei/ /rʌim/ /wɪθ/ /ʃʊt/ /ænd/ /stræɪt/ /ænd/ /dɛ:t/


A moth is not a moth in mother, Nor both in bother, broth in brother,

/ə/ /mɔθ/ /ɪz/ /nɔt/ /ə/ /mɔθ/ /ɪn/ /mʌθə(r)/ /nɔr/ /bɔθ/ /ɪn/ /bʌθər/ /broθ/ /ɪn/ /braθər/

And here is not a match for there

/ænd/ /hiə/ /ɪz/ /nɔt/ /ə/ /mætch/ /fɔ:/ /θe(r)/

Nor dear and fear for bear and pear,

/nɔr/ /dɪr/ /ænd/ /fɪr/ /fɔ(r)/ /bir/ /ænd/ /pɪ(r)/

And then there’s dose and rose and lose –

/ænd/ /θɛn/ /θe(r)s/ /dɔz/ /ænd/ /rɔ:z/ /ænd/ /lɔs/

Just look them up and goose and choose,

/jʌst/ /lʊk/ /θəm/ /ʌp/ /ænd/ /gʊz/ /ænd/ /tʃʊz/

And cork and work and card and ward,

/ænd/ /kɔ(r)k/ /ænd/ /wɔ(r)k/ /ænd/ /kʌd/ /ænd/ /wɒrd/

And font and front and word and sword,

/ænd/ /fɔnt/ /ænd/ /frɔnt/ /ænd/ /wɔ:d/ /ænd/ /swɔ:d/

And do and go and thwart and cart –

/ænd/ /dʊ/ /ænd/ /gɔ/ /ænd/ /θrɔ:t/ /ænd/ /kʌ(r)t/

Come, come, I’ve hardly made a start!

/kɔm/ /kɔm/ /aif/ /ha:dli/ /mɛid/ /ə/ /stʌrt/

A dreadful language? Man alive!

/ə/ /drɛ:dful/ /længui/ /mæn/ / əlʌif/


I’d mastered it when I was five!
