Hunter Miller

though
tough
Ryan Jackson
that's actually a pretty funny example
the word used to be spelled 'iland' related to the Icelandic word 'eyland' but dumb anglos thought Latin was cool and thought or wanted the word to be related to the Latin word 'isla' so they changed the spelling even if the words have nothing to do with each other

Lincoln Collins
He's referencing the gh making different sounds in the two words.
God you guys fucking suck at English.

A lot of words in English had different pronunciations in Old English. Their pronunciation has changed but their spelling hasn't changed to reflect that.
Luis Flores
Is your English the best non native in the world? Thats what Scandis say
Blake Adams
Thank you, that's pretty cool

Joseph Reed
it's either us, the swedes or the dutch
haven't seen hard comparisons but essentially everyone in those countries under the age of 40 speaks at least passable English
William Perez
Probably the Dutch.
Their language is pretty similar to ours and their accent is the easiest to understand in my experience.
Ethan Green
They say Icelanders pronounce the words right and that the Dutch especially pronounce English like Dutch
Bentley Ross
that's gonna depend on the speaker
even though English grammar is deceptively similar to Icelandic the two languages sound very different so some Icelanders have very thick accents
this famous video is a good example although her accent is so thick there I think she's probably exaggerating it on purpose

others' accents are barely noticeable

Pretty impressive it's not everyday that superstar pop/avant-garde singers explain the role of electrons in tube TV circuitry in their non native language
Charles Hernandez
No, it's pronounced exactly the same.

James Olier's son was a fucking retard with no understanding of English apparently. Those letters don't make those sounds when put in those arrangements. There is no word staring with "Gh" that has an "F" sound.

There is, Ghoti
Jokes aside, it's just an example of the strange irregularities of the English language, where you never know how to pronounce a word by reading it, nor the other way round
