Hello. Just fyi that it would get you more traffic if you added “ough pronunciation” rather than just “gh”. I tried searching for this page for so long and then i found it in my history luckily. but the problem was that for some reason when I searched last year, it came up just fine with ough but now you don’t rank for that search term (ough pronunciation american english). anyway, I love this resource thank you! my french speaking students are so afraid of this and they always feel better after we go through this. <3
