Dear sir
Can you give me ten examples of sets of words . Each set may have even three words that have the same pronounciation , but different meaning and spelling ?
Your little brother

The point is that I thought 'hall' and 'hole' have same
sound in pronunciation, but when you told me that they
aren't the same I looked up for a transcription in my
dictionary to make sure in it, and as you said there was a difference in pronunciation. So I agreed with you. :)

The difference between the pronunciation of "hole' and "hall" is stronger in British and Australian English. I imagine that it is hard for your Russian tongue say "hole" as in British English because your Russian "O" as stressed is more like the "a" in Hall. You have to open the mouth wider and rounder to say the Britsh "O".

Many thanks to you!
