E-mail this message to a friend I lead ESL Conversation at the library. I am native English speaker and lead a mixed group. At our last group class - they told me that the words WARM and WORM sounded exactly alike to them. I wanted to make a lesson - then I realized that some English speakers say WARM like FARM, and some say WARM like FORM. Is it just the case that there are 2 different ways to pronounce WARM in English? Thank you! Diana
