The English language is a "sound" language, I mean, sometimes you want to pronounce one thing, but it sounds like another word.

For example:

sheep - ship  (carneiro - navio)

sheet - shit (folha, lençol - merda)

beach - bitch (praia - cadela ou prostituta)

coffee - cough (café - tosse)

eat - it (comer - pronome "ele/ela")

So take care when you say: I am going to the beach.

Well, sometimes we have words which are written differently but are said in the same way.

witch - which (bruxa - qual/quais)
