Re: Clicks in Berber

This is totally off-topic, but I can't not comment... Woah this is a clickbait. The word you are trying to use there is "Whoa" /(h)wō/ as one would say to a horse in English to get it to stop.

Re: Incorrect pronunciations you have (or have had) to unlea

Similar to an earlier post, I pronounce linguist terms wrong. I say velar as /velr/ and I misread alveolar, so I metathesise it as /əlevl.r/. I'm still not sure how to say it: /ælvelr/?
