Homographs: different meaning and different pronunciation

Homographs are words that have the same spelling, but the meaning and pronunciations are different.  These are VERY difficult for most ESL speakers.


For example:


CLOSE


Close (pronounced CLOZ) the door.


Don’t stand so close (pronounced CLOS) to me.


PROJECT


The project (pronounced praw ject) is difficult.


Please project (pronounced pro ject) your voice.
