I lead ESL Conversation at the library.  I am native English speaker and lead
a mixed group.  At our last group class - they told me that the words WARM and
WORM sounded exactly alike to them.  I wanted to make a lesson - then I
realized that some English speakers say WARM like FARM, and some say WARM like
FORM.  Is it just the case that there are 2 different ways to pronounce WARM
in English?  Thank you!  Diana
