ENGLISH TIPS

[scotty's girl 1]

My wife pronounces any word with a short 'i' as a long 'e'.

Slippers become sleeeepers. Dinner becomes deener.

And the he, she, him, her switch...my God - somebody really got those mixed up a long time ago in the Philippines. I don't think she'll ever be cured of that one.

This topic reminds me of my brother-in-law in Bohol....he is really shy to speak english around me because he is afraid to make mistakes...until he broke out that bottle of Tanduay Rum....his english was better than mine, after a few rounds...or at least he thought it was hahaha

i sometimes pronounced kisses as key-ses and chicken as chee-ken. and my fiance makes fun of me. but he said it sounds cute. lol

oh wow i do that too...like chicken as cheeken and swimming as sweemming and my husband always try to say it the way i say it...and he really emphasize the word i mispronounce...and he just laugh...

and sometimes i want to say things and i find it hard to explain i just say nothing..and instead just to it in action with sounds effects and then say something like that....hehehhehehe..

I like this topic, the ones you posted guys made me laugh so hard. Those things also happens to me, but my fiance also finds it cute, hehe...

I pronounce P as F. So, any words that begins with P, I murdered em all.

Me: Hon, when you want me to pack?(I pronounced P as F.)

Spouse: When I want you to ...(in English language).

Me: I thought, we need clothes for out trip?....

He ended up..

This is so funny! My husband laughed at this too.

One thing I'd suggest too is to watch American movies with the subtitle, read it and listen. It may not be the easiest thing to do when watching a movie but at least you'd not only know what the movie is about but for you to enhance your English pronunciation and grammar as well. And I never hesitate to ask my husband how to properly pronounce some words and he is always more than willing to teach me.
