* Is it harder to lipread a foreigner speaking English than Native English speaker? * What's the difference between them? * How do languages work actually? * Is it because of the fact that foreigners pronounce words incorrectly? * Is the English language easier to lipread than Polish? Why is it easier? * WHAT MUSIC GOT TO DO WITH IT? My very first research was about lip-reading. From my experience, I know that it's much easier to lip-read anything from English Native Speaker speaking in English rather than Polish Native Speaker speaking in Polish. There are lots of questions about lipreading, pronunciation and speaking in different languages, but everything seems very messy. What I've found so far is interesting: 'When I lipread a native English-speaking person, I at least can use my knowledge of English to mentally fill in the blanks. In other words, I will catch what I can...and then mentally fill in the rest. But I personally cannot lipread a foreigner speaking English, as foreigners have a tendency to pronounce English words differently than a native English speaker would. For example, I remember seeing a Spanish-speaking person try to pronounce "aunt"...a native English speaker would pronounce "aunt" and it would look like "ant" on the lips. But the Spanish speaker made it look like something else entirely (and my interpreter told me the Spanish speaker had pronounced it incorrectly as well).' ~ Michele Westfall, Deaf and native ASL speaker Does it mean that while speaking in a foreign language we speak little incorrectly and that's why my mouth hurts me? Because I'm not doing it 100% right? This is the next question, what I've got while doing my research. Even if we will speak the same language, let's say English but we have different origin languages we will not pronounce words exactly the same because every language has its own different pronunciation and articulation. Let's find out what's going on with our mouth while speaking in different languages.
