@HeartOfChina Does “crossing a bridge” sound almost identical to “dog bridge” in Mandarin?

Dog is gǒu
To cross is guò
For many, the "ou" and "uo" sounds are easy to confuse. Many of my English-speaking students see them as the same. They sound quite different in Mandarin. "u" is pronunced like "oo" in moon or boot.
So, dog is "go-u" and cross is "gu-o."
