I find it difficult to pronounce English words, can Pronunciation Patterns help me?

English Pronunciation and Accent Reduction | English Learnin...
This is very common to all English learners because our minds are hardwired to some sounds and we don't have the mouth muscularity to pronounce some sounds. It takes practice to reform some pronunciation habits. I want to share with you an example of mine. I had a hard time saying the OW sound and the OR sound. Therefore, I had a really hard time saying the words such as house vs. horse, loud vs. lord, now vs. nor, etc. However, I could say how, or, sore, and bore with little trouble.

Check the Madisound and Morel links on my links page for a starter. They have some near-exact replacements and suitable upgrades for the 1960s/70s speakers which may enable you to restore them to full working condition at minimal cost. If your problem is merely a destroyed surround, they can be replaced at home using few tools, adding years of life to the speaker.

Is Japanese easier than English?

Learn Japanese - Free Japanese Lessons!
Japanese is a much more structured and simplistic language than English, in our opinion. For example, Japanese verbs all fall into 3 categories. Godan (lesson 6), Ichidan (lesson 7), and the 2 irregular verbs (also lesson 7). All Godan verbs follow the rules given in lesson 6 with only one exception. All Ichidan verbs follow the rules provided. Irregular verbs have there own rules but there are only 2 of them! English has exceptions for almost every verb and very few rules that can be followed.

How hard is it to find Japanese Tractor Parts?

Tractor Country
Fairly easy in most cases. There are at least 10 different parts places that we buy from located in the US. We have found that the easiest brands to obtain parts for are Yanmar and Hinomoto (usually within 4 days or less). We have also found that some Ford/New Holland parts are interchangeable with Shibaura parts, as with Yanmar/John-Deere, Iseki/Bolens, and Kubota, of course. For example, the Yanmar YM-2500 has the exact same engine as the John-Deere 850.

How do you convert English words to Japanese or Japanese words to English?

Learn Japanese - Free Japanese Lessons!
You can't. Japanese is a completely different language with no similarities to English. The grammar, alphabet, vocabulary, etc. is all different. Many people think an online translator, like BabelFish, will do the trick. Truth is, machine translations such as that make absolutely no sense. The only way to "convert" English to Japanese, or visa versa, is to be fluent in both languages and translate between the two (not an easy task) or find someone to do it for you.

Is English Grammar difficult?

Learn English - Ask Ellie - Questions and Answers
No, English grammar is not half as difficult as some other languages, such as German. We have the French to thank for that. In 1066 William the Conqueror brought to England the French language as well as the ability to build impressive castles . French was the official language in England for nearly 300 years and so the English language was kept alive by the common people (rather than the academics who do like to keep the status quo).
