HOW TO SAY WORDS ENDING IN -OUGH & -AUGH

In today's lesson, we're going to look at words that generally confuse people, especially when it comes time to say them, words that have the "OUHG" or the "AUGH" inside them. 

   And the reason they're confusing is because they don't sound anything like they look. This is a common problem in English. But WHY? Because English is not a phonetically-spelled language. In other languages, the way a word looks is the way it sounds. In English, not so much! 

 Now, I need to say something before started. This lesson is about memorization. I'm sorry but sometimes memorizating is a mandatory stuff. If you want to speak like an American you have to say it like this. Why? I don't know. I'm sorry to tell you that. There's no answer...
We have 8 different sounds for "ough" or "augh".

Once the building is finished, this framework is invisible. Like a building, you have an inner framework. Your framework or skeleton , is made up of all the bones in your body. Just as a building would fall without its frame, you would collapse without your skeleton. Your skeleton have five major functions. It provides shape and support, enable you to move, and protects your organs It also produces blood cells and stores minerals and other materials until your body cells and stores minerals and other materials until your body needs them.  Shape and support   Your skeleton shapes and supports your body. It is made up of about 206 bones of different shapes and sizes. Your backbone, or vertebral column, is the center of your skeleton.
