When i saw this video, i just remembered one of my memories.About four months ago,i saw two girls trying to explain themselves in the post office,but the man working in here couldn't understand because he didn't know English.Then i wanted to help them and asked about the problem.Girls told me they are from Austria and came our country as an exchange student and they were waiting a card from their own country and they wanted to learn if it arrived or not.It sounds so easy but we spent so much time to understand each other. They told me that they are not so good at speaking English and their pronounciation weren't good so i had really hard time to understand exactly what they were trying to say to me.They know the words and use them in a sentence but you always understand different things because of pronounciation mistakes.I think especially in English it is important to pronounce the words correctly because some words sound so similar or may be the same.Fortunately,in Denmark again,we dont have any difficulties about it because people speak English both fluently and correctly.Sometimes, when we talk an old person,there may be a misunderstanding but it is totally normal, one way or another they always catch what we mean. We are lucky again to be in here. :)
