| Could you give some examples of the sounds or words you have trouble with? |

| I'm in agreement with Tdol, since giving us examples of certain words that you may've been having problems with would help us firstly to identify it's "phonetics" & then once we get to know that, we could most certainly point you in the right direction about how exactly you need to ARTICULATE the individual sounds occuring in a particular word. If you meant "complex" words as any "long" words like: >> description >> citizenship >> automobile then you need to break it up into small chunks like: >> des.crip.tion >> citi.zen.ship >> auto.mo.bile This will help you pronounce each individual "syllable" seperately with "stress" on certain "syllable", after all, as you'd have known that English is a language having "stressed & unstressed" syllable.

| Indeed. Strictly speaking, your logic makes MORE sense but just a tad bit "advanced" to understand for someone who may not've been aware of the "syllable", "stress pattern" within the English language, I suppose. |

| Sadly, while the "chav" culture is on spring, there seems a trend for mobile texting in today's "iPOD generation" & for them, the idea of using dictionary is rather archaic. |
