How can I differentiate "won" and "one" when I speak?
I want to say "the prize we sought is won", but it sounds like "the prize we sought is one". How can I make me more understandable? I have tried many times but I don't seem to be able to differentiate "won" from "one". https://preview.redd.it/zmdtj3gp7xle1.png?width=919&format=png&auto=webp&s=144051a1846ad8db5ab37df67527617f008dccd4
How do you pronounce either and neither?
Neither: /ˈnaɪ.ðɚ/ /ˈniː.ðɚ/ Either: /ˈiː.ðɚ/ /ˈaɪ.ðɚ/ Would you care to say where you're from? I belive this is a region matter
Is this idiom still used? I heard it in classic films.

What's wrong here? Shouldn't they be equivalent?

How common is it to say/write "I'da"?
Hello, I was recently playing a video game and one of the characters said "You know, I'da waited, but...". I had never heard anyone say "I'da" before, so I'd like to know how common is it to use it in casual conversations. Is it something we'd rather say and not write while texting someone?
My teacher insists that the answer is 5, but I think it’s 3. (Question 63)

How do Americans understand the word "international"?
I remembered months ago I chatted with an American, we came across this word, "international". There was some confusion happening; then he told me "Because there is a lot of states in the US, Americans generally understand 'international' as 'inter-states'". I was shocked, because I thought the meaning of "international" was quite clear, like France and Germany and Japan and the US and the UK. But "international" would be Florida, Colorado, Texas, and Pennsylvania according to him, and his major was politics which made his words more convincible. Is what he said true? If so, then how Americans talk about the "international" that I want to say?
Are the words "won" and "one" pronounced the same?
Are they pronounced differently? cause every time I listen they sound the same.
How do you pronounce 20
How do you pronounce " twenty "? Ive seen a post in the internet and one guy said that he pronounce it like "twenny" so because of that I'm confused now and I don't know how to say it more correctly ( twenty, twendy, twenny, etc.)
