I had a good tease with my kids over 'purple turtle' just last week.
Another set to drive them crazy is:
fool / full / pull / pool / poor / pour / four |

"Rarely"
I tell my students that we RARELY use RARELY so use HARDLY EVER instead!

| I was trying to teach the phrase, "I agree." to some middle school students. It came out as "I ugly." |

How about, "I'm sorry", or "it was all one big misunderstanding"?
But those are phrases, aren't they?

| I actually tried out pretty much every one of the words on this thread as part of a pronuncition lesson and "yield" was far and away the one that most students had problems with. Even one of my ajumma students who has a near-perfect accent couldn't do it after a whole lot of tries. |
