/’sɪlk/

Do you know what the hardest word to say for me is?  

Silk.  

First, my tongue draws back to the ‘Eeessss’ then, slides across the mouth and double loop-de-loop to say, ‘eeeee’. Then rounds it up around the palate and ‘laaaa’ and drop down to say, ‘ka’. Confusion reigns in my brain and in my mouth!  I have gotten, ‘rejuvenate’, ‘cooperative’ & ‘hyperventilate’.  Now, why does ‘silk’ slip away from me?images-2
