- 19:22phonetic
- 19:22equivalence,
- 19:23we

- 19:26store
- 19:26called,
- 19:27for

- 19:35You
- 19:35might
- 19:35think
- 19:36you're
- 19:36being
- 19:36clever
- 19:36because
- 19:37your
- 19:37mark
- 19:37is
- 19:37in
- 19:37Spanish,
- 19:38but
- 19:38the

- 19:42which
- 19:42is

- 19:42house,
- 19:43and
- 19:43then
- 19:43you're
- 19:44out.
- 19:44So
- 19:44we're
- 19:44looking
- 19:44at
- 19:45phonetic
- 19:45equivalents,
- 19:46foreign

- 19:48If
- 19:48I
- 19:49am,
- 19:49you
- 19:49know,
- 19:50if
- 19:50you're

- 19:54those
- 19:55are
- 19:55still
- 19:55confusingly
- 19:56similar

- 20:09is
- 20:09really
- 20:09important
- 20:10in
