The next chapter in my book is on pronunciation, that's also going to be hard as there are words in English I can't even pronounce, but I have the task of learning to pronounce words in another language, I already know how hard it can be to pronounce words in a different language from taking Spanish in school. The funny thing is Duolingo, my book, and Google translate all vice different pronunciations for the same word sometimes (I can't think of an example off the top of my head right now though). I also think the pronunciation chapter in my book should have came before the grammar chapter.
