英語の発音はとても不便!
英語の発音はとても不便だと思います。
I think English pronunciation is pretty inconvenient.
Your translation is perfect. But, though I do not know what is the original material, we usually use "difficult" rather than "inconvenient" in this context.
私は子供の時から英語を話し<strike>て</strike>始めましたが今でも問題をかかえています。
I started speaking English as a child, but I still have problems with it.
"て” put after verb like ”話し” is a conjunction. We use like; "私はパンを食べてコーヒーを飲みました”
例えば、「months」<strike>など</strike>が私にとってとても難しい。私の発音は[monts]に近いでしょう。
"months" for example, is very hard for me; My pronunciation is closers to "monts".
"for example" can be translated as "など”, but basically we use "例えば ta-to-e-ba". It is put on the head of the sentence.
It is better to translate "for me", though it is not necessary. it can be translated as "私にとって".
It is <easy/difficult> for <person> to <verb> is basically translated as "<verb>することは<person>にとって<easy/difficult>です”. I think this is useful expression.
しかも英語のスペルはろんりてきじゃなくて「dough」と「cough」と「through」はほとんど同じスペルですが発音はとても違います。
Additionally, English spelling is very inconsistent; "dough", "cough", and "through" all have almost the same spelling, yet they're pronounced very differently.
日本語のスペルはすごくろんりてきだと思いますでも高低アクセントはとても難しい<strike>だ</strike>と思います。
I think Japanese spelling is incredibly consistent. However, pitch accents give me quite a bit of trouble.
"Inconsistent" means "一貫性のない”. 一貫性 is a high level word, but worth memorizing. 一 means one, 貫 means penetration.
以下のとおりに英語のスペルのポエムあって私にとってさえ難しい。<strike>それも</strike>アメリカ人がこのポエムを話すYoutubeのビデオも含みました。英語のスペルはおかしいですねえ。
Below is a fun poem on English spelling, it's difficult even for me. I've also included a youtube video of an American speaking the poem. English spelling is pretty strange, isn't it?
In this context below is Subjective. "以下は" is correct. Also is ”も(また)". include is 含む(ふくむ).

take it you already know
Of tough and bough and cough and dough?
Others may stumble but not you
On hiccough, thorough, slough and through.
Well done! And now you wish perhaps,
To learn of less familiar traps?
Beware of heard, a dreadful word
That looks like beard and sounds like bird.
And dead, it's said like bed, not bead-
for goodness' sake don't call it 'deed'!
Watch out for meat and great and threat
(they rhyme with suite and straight and debt).
A moth is not a moth in mother,
Nor both in bother, broth, or brother,
And here is not a match for there,sさささ
Nor dear and fear for bear and pear,
And then there's doze and rose and lose-
Just look them up- and goose and choose,
And cork and work and card and ward
And font and front and word and sword,
And do and go and thwart and cart-
Come, I've hardly made a start!
A dreadful language? Man alive!
I'd learned to speak it when I was five!
And yet to write it, the more I sigh,
I'll not learn how 'til the day I die.0 votedAugust 26, 20101- Tokyo is very modernized so if you wanna experience something traditional, I think the only place I can recommend you to go is Asakusa. As for the outside of Tokyo, Kamakura is nice.You can see a huge Budda statue and many temples. I guess it takes 40min from Tokyo sta to go to Kamakura, If you wanna enjoy today' s Japanese culture, Akihabara is good to buy manga related goods, and Shibuya/ Harajuku are good to see young Japanese fashions.0 votedAugust 26, 20100
