Top Ten Different English Words Non-Native Speakers are Likely to Pronounce the Same

The Top Ten
1 Diarrhea / Diary
2 Horse / Whores
3 Love / Laugh
4 Ice / Eyes
5 Three / Tree

"Th" is a typically English thing. Many people don't know how to pronounce it.

When I pronounce tree its "thRRee". Hard R and hard T. When I pronounce three, its soft T and soft R. sometimes hard R.

6 Balls / Bowls
7 Mashin' / Machine
8 Collar / Color
9 Four / For
10 Cole / Call
The Contenders
11 Night / Knight

These two words sound pretty same to me.

Huh? They ARE pronounced the same.

12 Our / Hour

Ditto above and below. Someone apparently doesn't understand the point of this list.

13 Air / Heir
14 Side / Sight
15 See / Sea

But they are pronounced the same

16 Specific / Pacific
17 Desert / Dessert

I didn't figure out the difference until recently...

18 No / Know

They sound the same to me, a native English speaker.
