The English Language

This is one of the MANY reasons that the English language is one of the hardest of any languages to learn...

Pronounce the following words:
Bough
Rough
Through
Cough
Though

Even "though" they all end in "ough", they all have their own sound! I'd like to meet the person responsible for this!! 😝

"Veronika Decides to Die" - Paulo Coelho

Veronika is a 24 year old girl living in a convent in Ljubljana and decides that she has lived enough and decides to take her own life. After taking a vast amount of sleeping pills, she wakes up in hospital and is admitted to the mental hospital where she is told she has a week to live. She meets Eduard, Mari, Zedka and others and....I will not continue and give any more away. This book was so incredibly inspiring and has truly opened my eyes to how important life is, and to enjoy all of life's trials and tribulations that are sent your way. Take nothing for granted. Regret no decision. Take chances. Do everything you have ever wanted to do and enjoy the hell out of it!!!
