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...
