    Hi! It was a great and practical lesson. I can not believe that I have been mispronouncing the word ' library' since I started learning English.
    In my mother tongue most of the people pronounce 'l' in ' salmon', but we don't have the same rule in English.

I do martial arts in an international group, and our common language is English. The "w" should not be pronounced, but almost everyone, including our teachers, pronounces it almost like "word" with an "s" in front.
