  I’d wager they sound the same to most non-native speakers in a casual conversation.

    It does sound the same to me as a non-native speaker, but if i can spell it right and understand the difference, you can too. Because there’s tougher language out there, like chinese, that you can say the exact same sounding word but mean different thing. As a chinese myself, that’s how i learn the important of getting the word right.

    Guess what?

    All of Italian sounds the same to me, a non-native speaker.
