ISMO | The Silent Struggle (with English)

Thank you, English language, for confusing me with silent letters! Can anyone relate? 😅

Word "Queue" is just letter Q with bunch of silent letter waiting in line ;)

"English has so many letters that you write down but never say."
French: Hold my beer.

I saw some videos of Finnish songs with subtitles, and I'm jealous how efficient the writing is. All the letters seem to make more or less the same sound all the time, and none of them are silent.

Best outro I've seen on a YT video in quite a while.

I'm a Malaysian and English has been my second language since I was seven. It's interesting to see other non-native speakers' experiences on the language..

My math teacher used to say his name was Fra3nk spelt with a silent 3.

Okay, I have seen all of your English speaking posts. They are absolutely hilarious. I love them.

[mizmera]

Amazing. Your accent actually helps a lot. Great comedian.

[mugn]

OMG, that was hilarious. Thanks for the laughs.

[MarcusBurkenhare]

I'm getting flashbacks to some of Victor Borge's old routines, and that is not a bad thing.

Ismo is soooo funny. Indeed for me silent letters has always been a struggle for me in school. And silent numbers could be possible 🤣

[go]

Omg, I love your videos.! Thank you.! I laugh so hard, it hurts.!!

Ismo looks like a Hobbit, but I mean that in a good way.

[PetriTikkanen]

more unnessesary things in English language - Indefinite Articles: a and an
a = used before word that starts with vowel
an = used before word that starts with consonant
...they use it, so that they would know is the word starting with vowel or consonant?
...but you have to know which it is before you can choose the article anyway.
So why bother?

[ajrwilde]

silent letters are there to help you pronounce the word properly as well as differentiate things from other things that sound the same, for instance NIGHT/KNIGHT

[learner]

IS NO, you have to make separate language videos, like this one - no swearing, useful for children in school. My son is doing silent letters now. Schools could use them in class. Much more fun with your personality. Keep it up

[garik]

If you get a chance go see him, his hilarious!😂😂

[BrutalMind]

Just come to my neighborhood. We use a subtle and honest technique to master your knowledge of our foreign language.

How about French? Ha! My maiden name is Robitaille. The last 3 letters are silent 😏 my mother is Finnish so I know the struggle is real 😀

[SaylerT]

Wait until Ismo starts mastering French next
