hello all,

seeing the advanced speaking topics here my question may appear a bit trivial. But in order to finish a huge struggle with a good friend I need the correct pronunciation of the word "naughty".

can you please help me out?

Thank you

Michael

Hi Michael,

Let me say it for you - naughty - haughty.

Hi Michael,

By the way I didn't catch your message. It was just a long buzzing sound.

Hi Michael,

What does 'lost the tiff' mean?

Thanks,

Hello Torsten,

what I tried to say was that I was wrong with my spelling and my friend - I had a little funny arguement with - was right with her pronunciation.

according to http://dict.leo.org/ende?lp=ende&lang=de&searchLoc=0&cmpType=relaxed&sectHdr=on&spellToler=&search=tiff tiff can mean a hilarious struggle between friends ...at least as I got it..... and I didn´t succeed.

haha it might look a bit germlish again

anyway, please let me know if there is something wrong with my use of the English

Regards
Michael
