Abstract

Abstract: This paper discusses about difficulties encountered by Bugis learner in producing English phonemes. The learners who learn second language use their mother tongue to analyze the second language. They analyze the second language to find the differences and similarities both languages. The similarities can create ease to transfer the language, on the contrary the differences can creates difficulties. Based on the description above it informs that Bugis learners have difficulties in producing the following phonemes: The Labial consonant /f/ and /v/, The interdental consonant /θ/ and /d/, The alveolar consonant /z/, The consonant palatals /ŝ/ and /ž/, The vowel /æ/, The diphtong / iə, uə, əu, eə/, English also permits much longer sequences of consonant initially, medially, and finally in utterances. Both English and Buginese have consonant which are conveniently symbolized /t,d,s,z/. In English, however, these represent alveolar, whereas in Buginese they represent dentals. All of these differences constitute a major source of difficulty for the Bugis speakersin leaning English.
