Hi Michael,
The pizza shop is on the corner of 33rd Street and 3rd Avenue in NYC. On the third floor, there is a theater ticket office.
I got my tongue twisted…
Ryo, that’s good. It means you practiced hard 🙂
good lesson
Hello Vadim, Thanks for your comment, but unfortunately, you’ve misheard what I said, which is a key point to this lesson. I said, “sank” is the past tense of the verb “sink.” Many English learners confuse the TH and S sounds both in listening and speaking. So, I hear a lot people say, “Sank you” instead of Thank you.
By the way, you are quite correct. The past of think is thought. I hope that clears things up for you. Thanks for asking!
English has many sounds that do not exist in other languages, so such pronunciation problems happen and the specific problems happen when a sound exists in English but not your native language. For example, a lot of English learners from different countries have trouble with the TH sound. German, French, Japanese are three language speakers that have trouble with Th that come to mind now.
