correct English pronouncing
Was told by my Sister today that my Niece got scolded and reprimanded by her English teacher. The reason was that my niece claimed that the English word "calm" should be pronounced ... (do not know how to write the word "calm" in the way it should be pronounced) She was told that the word "calm" should be pronounced as "Claim" or as my sister said
Teachers claim that in "real" English the word "calm" is pronounced as "claim". Markus |

Was also told it is the same teachers who could not see the difference between "holly" and "holy"
Until some month ago, I had only read about the lack of knowledge our teachers have. I have never thought it would happen to my own Niece-having a English Teacher who is lacking a lot of English knowledge Markus |
