Name the English word that corresponds to the pronunciation transcribed in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), according to the Oxford Dictionary of English.
Technically no, but I learnt it at age 4 or STH, so it is the first language in my thoughts. It's the language I think and speak in and have grown up with in school, being from the UK.
b) 1/2 of these words not even native english speakers can spell let alone have heard of!! Like what on earth is thence, ennui or adjourn, or the nightmarish reveille!
Never heard of a "budgerigar" before. As an American, really had to lean into a British (?) accent to get some of these. And I second the comments of LuigiLikesFlags.
Also, before I get a response. English is my first language. I am about the same age as you (as of your previous comments). This was still quite hard.
