▶️ Please find the mistake in the following sentence:

#127 Our favourite mistakes: Pronunciation

▶️ Try pronouncing the following words:
• church
• Turkey
• word
• work
• world
• worm

❓What do these words have in common?

❗️ They all contain the [ɜ:] vowel, as in “girl”. Be especially careful with “work”, it should sound different from “walk”.
