A Gremlin's Pronunciation
October 29, 2009Kalel has people around him speaking mainly Ilokano- Tagalog dialects, yet he speaks English. Programs he watch are among his teachers, including Barney, Playhouse Disney's, Jimjam's, Dora, Little Einsteins.
Though he has the Filipino English accent and pronunciation, some still thinks he has some slang. Here are some of his words:
- Kel-ay = Can I (eg, Kel-ay take a bath?)
- The woler fountain is geling bigger and smaller = The water fountain is getting bigger and smaller
- Tomowow = Tomorrow
- Bue = Blue
- E-k = ok
- Wehd = Red
- Mimub = Remove
Basically
-- letters R and N becomes L when in between two vowels used in a sentence, otherwise are mostly pronounced properly
-- R becomes silent when in the middle of a word
