wholesaleblogger Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 My wife is Spanish and although fluent she still makes mistakes with certain words and this is down to the way Spanish pronounce letters such as J, B, VFor example we don't sleep in a bed ... It is a Beth and we dont eat bread it is now Breath..The worrying think is that I now adopt these weird words when we are chatting :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebmelvern Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 I sometimes find if difficult to pronounce words with a lot of Rs. I'm a Filipino, and we tend to accentuate the letter R. Sometimes, I make a conscious effort of making my Rs less noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossonomous Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 I actually find it difficult pronounce words starting with 'F' because it always seems like I am pronouncing with 'th' at the start. E.g 'thour' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zambothegreat Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Even though English is my mother tongue, I screw up on pronouncing certain sounds fairly often. It's mostly with words in succession. Like, on words where I need to stress a d or t sound, like in "want" or "candidate". Saying the words is easy, but if I say "I want to go to X", more often than not, it'll come out "I wanna go to X". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
