Difficulty in pronouncing 'twelve' Siri as the assistant of iphone-4s hears me well. But, when I speak 'twelve', Siri can't understand easily. Sometimes, It does understand well. But, After that time, Siri never easily hears me speaking 'twelve'. twelve is very very hard to me to speak correctly. I am again and again listening to 'twelve' pronunciation of a native voice from web-dictionary. Whoa~... Does anyone have a similar problem with me? How to improve my pronunciation! :p... But,, I'm not good at both speaking and listening.

I searched for the information and do the comparition of Korean and English. Maybe Koreans have difficulties in pronouncing "l" and "v". You should practice your tongue to fit the neccesary change of this kind of word.

Maybe that's becouse korean language sounds. I don't know korean, but I went to Ireland studying english and one of my classmates was korean. He had some problems with "r" sound. The teacher asked him to say "roasted lamb" very often. It seemed it was a bit tricky for him. Then he practised hard and he was able to say it! So, practise speaking and listening a lot. Good luck!
