Do You Actually Know How To Pronounce These Words?

Okay let me level with you. I totally failed phonics in like 2nd grade. Anyone else remember Hooked on Phonics? No? Just me? And let me tell you, I was not hooked. So I made this quiz. For you, but more importantly, for me.

This quiz reminds me that I’m nothing and the English language is just kinda stupid. So step up, crack those knuckles, maybe gargle some water, because this quiz is going to challenge every English convention you’ve ever had.

Whether you’re a native speaker, ESL, or some martian that’s been studying English to take over the world, this quiz is for you. Are you accidentally mispronouncing these common words? Are you purposely mispronouncing these common words? And if so, why?

Are you just trying to confuse people? Do you just decide at an early age that proper pronunciation was for losers and you were gonna do your own thing? Strange…. Anyway, take this quiz to find out if you’re doing it right!
