What a blooper in English! I love the English language , but what drives me crazy , these are words that has the same sound , but have different meaning Example: Lie : bedtime Lie : Lie Bear: support Bear: Bear Never I forget that event. When I started to learn English , my teacher asked me about something that Brazil had enough. I replied : "In Brazil has many beaches" But the pronunciation came out with another sound of a word in English that sounds a lot like beach and that describes some women ,unpleasantly He looked at me and was horrified and after a few seconds said, "Really? " . After staying thoughtful started laughing uncontrollably. I did not understand anything Then he said, " I think you want to talk about the beaches , and not on the characteristics of some women ." The whole room laughed and I died of shame... :))
