This is horrible for people with zero attention span.
I'm one of them but I have to give my best shot...it's part of the education of my Aries Moon.
God I mispronounced so many.

It's mispronunciation
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/MispronounciationIn my modest opinion, in which English is only my 3rd language, "indict" is not a stand alone word, it is "to indict" someone or "indictment"
"Stuff" rhymes with "enough"
"I will keep you, Suzy, busy" i'd replace with "I will keep you busy, easy peasy"
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/easy_peasy"Hiccough" ="Hiccup" both are correct terms for the same thing, but "hiccup" goes better with your text...imho
------other than that, i didn't read it all, just skimmed through it, looks sweet, like the concept of polishing English through such channels, i am an avid forums user for several years precisely because of this reason, as i'm doing some writing on the side and was decided from the start it will be in English which needed some refreshment and practical knowledge derived only from constant use.
Best of luck 😄
Some of the words are pronounced different in my mind because I pronounce them in their original language.
So I stopped so many times..."should i pronounce this as English or ...as it should be pronounced?"
Speaking of 3rd languages, my French is really really bad right now :/. I need to find some French forum.

I could make a vocaroo for you but I have no idea what sieve and skein are.
Make a vocaroo.
Ps: Rein would be outraged at you not knowing what a sieve is.

It's quite ironic - that in some cases (like yours) - the american version of English sounds more literate - than the one spoken in the homeland... more exactly - in the Yorkshire area. ^^

Well, your version English - is really clear to me, while - the Yorkshire version is... entertaining (that's because i like foreign dialects and accents). ^^

...I know we have a Writing forum (for the more pedantic of you)..but I feel it belongs here.
Went over my misprononciation mistakes. Maybe we could do vocaroos.
Either way...
