Another funny thing in my hebrew class was watching the teachers argue over the "correct" pronunciations of words because one's ashke and the other is sephardi

And then realizing that I use (mostly) sephardi pronunciations. Which is funny because the accent I have in english gets teased because we are allergic to saying the letter t (even moreso than others, apparently) 💀

#jumblr #jew by choice #jewish conversion #personal thoughts tag #shul shenanigans #my dad has stories of people making him say mountain and fountain just for them to be like 'lmao. you say it like mounin'#okay actually this is so weird because i insert a really small glottal stop instead of saying a word with a T sound 💀#i never noticed that before??? but if i say mountain and fountain i can feel it in the back of my throat #i'm watching a youtuber who pronounces EVERY t in a word and it distresses me so bad #he'll say Twi-tter and emphasize the T. that website is twidder to me. what is he saying...#but anyway the sephardi pronunciations are way easier to say for some reason? just in general
