wholesaleblogger Posted October 7, 2013 Report 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
calebmelvern Posted October 7, 2013 Report 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
rossonomous Posted October 7, 2013 Report 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
zambothegreat Posted October 7, 2013 Report 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
Beverly Posted October 8, 2013 Report Posted October 8, 2013 anything that ends with 'table'...comfortable,acceptable,vegetable, my husband always teases me and go 'what table ,hun?' .I'd say the worst is those medicine...when you get older and need that stupid antibiotic amoxicillin or HYDROXYZINE..like how do you say that!
