English Phonetics and Phonology Huỳnh Quang Minh The University of Da Lat Pronunciation Poem I take it you already know Of tough and bough and cough and dough? Others may stumble but not you On hiccough, thorough, slough and through Well done! And now you wish perhaps, To learn of less familiar traps?
