The two lls are the trunks of two trees. The a is an apple. It�s spring. Aplles fall. When an apple falls, it�s painful. It says /ɔː/ So, when you see an apple under a tree, don�t forget: it�s /ɔːl/ That �s all for tonight... It �s been a long day... Greetings from Greece,

@papadeli Oops! Apples fall in Autumn / Fall don �t they?
English expressions of pain may not match yours in pronunciation.
Ow! (rhymes with cow) Ouch! etc.
Aww! (with the right intonation) sounds closer to what we say when we see a cute animal.
But if if it helps your students remember- Go for it! |

In Greece we say /ɔː/ not only when we are in pain, but when sth is unexpected, not pleasing, sudden. I �m sure native speakers do the same. /ɔː/ What you would use it for ? When do you say it? Where do you heaar it? And yes!! Apples fall in autumn in Greece, too. Haha! It was late when I wrote it... You see. it �s spring now, and I was between sleeping and writing. Dreaming with open eyes. Haha! Great remark! |

dear Apodo, it doesn �t have to be THAT literal! apples do fall in Autumn / Fall but what if it fell by accident? it �s not a rottten apple, it �s red! and I think the pain expression is right since we don �t really say ouch! or youch! when we fall or when we have an accident... I think its a great idea and thanks for it papadeli!
