"The Chaos" (English is tough stuff!) read aloud with IPA indications

How's your English pronunciation? I doubt you can read this poem without making mistakes! See me try... (Make sure to stick around until the end for an encouraging message after the poem!) More about the poem is described in detail here: http://www.fluentin3months.com/tough In this video I try to read a famous poem [Not actually originally called "English is tough stuff", it's a slightly modified (updated) version of "The Chaos" written by Gerard Nolst Trenité in 1922], which demonstrates the weird spelling convention English has. To make it more fun though, I added in not only the original poem, but also the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) indications AND lots of fun images! Note that I am IRISH, and as such what I say does not correspond perfectly with the AMERICAN IPA that I got from an online converter (and corrected for words it didn't know). So there are several words that I say different to the IPA. Most of the time this is my accent, but if I pronounce a word just wrong, let me know in the comments and I'll list it here to be sure people don't learn my bad pronunciation! I'm pretty sure I got the vast majority of it right! Mistakes: * "lichen" should have been pronounced /laɪkɪn/ "Arkansas" is usually pronounced with an "aw" ending, but I said "r" to make the poem rhyme.
