@Nanori right, but it's difficult for non native speakers to differentiate between them
@Andromedanian I'm a native English speaker and I find NO difference in the pronunciation of to, too, and two!

@notyouraveragedummy yeah same, I think it's an American and canadian thing though
@Nanori Why in seven decades in an English speaking country that I've never heard of that. I even went to college and worked at a major international company?

@notyouraveragedummy 🤷‍♀️
U can either gain or lose points in your IELTS tests based on your proper pronunciation
@Nanori I've known many immigrants from many countries around the world and not one of them that I know of ever took IELTS tests. I've heard many English speakers from the US and Canada, and people on TV and in movies from many countries speak English and never detected a difference in pronouncing to, too, and two.
