About this listen

This book aims to expose some of the nuances and inconsistencies of the English language that trouble ESL (English as a Second Language) learners. It will help non-English speakers better understand American English.. Native English speakers will find it informative and funny. One of my first beta reviewers said, “I laughed through the whole book.”
Speakers of other languages often have a great deal of trouble learning English because of its significant number of exceptions to the basic language rules. For example, the placement of a single letter radically changes a word. Add a silent e to her and it becomes here. This is similar to “h” in Spanish, where Holla (meaning hello) is pronounced Olla. Note the “h” is not pronounced.
All languages have issues. For example, German, nouns have a gender: male, female, or neuter, which dictates that the use of “the” is a different word for each gender; “die” for female, “der” for male, “das” for neuter. For example, “die Frau,” the woman (generally married), “der Mann,” the man, or “das Fenster,” the window. In addition, in different word usages, other articles for “the” such as “den,” “dem,” “des,” are used. The definite article of “a” or “an,” are replaced by six possibilities. : “ein,” “eine,” “einen,” “einer,” “einem,” “eines.”
This book aims to expose some of the nuances of the English language. I hope this book will help non-English speakers understand our language better.
