2.en.24. Pronunciation: Homophones and jokes
In post 2.en.22 we looked at HOMOGRAPHS, now it is time to look at HOMOPHONES.
Words that are pronounced the same but are written differently . They are fun to learn and a good way to start playing with words. Let’s see if you can make a good joke with some of the following.
maize /maze
mail/ male
beach /beech
none /nun
gorilla/guerilla
pea/ pee
cereal/serial
Look for the words you do not know and use images to help you remember them. It’s good to memorize words in pairs. Strange associations make it easier too.
I found this one for you it plays with two words Peace and Peas
