CobraSnakeNecktie Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 When she doesn't have food in her mouth I can understand her pretty well. Most of the time she is going thru food like a wood chipper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayroo Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 @Jayroo; That instead of jumping to conclusions, perhaps you should read my post one more time. On second thought, read it twice. @Jayroo; That instead of jumping to conclusions, perhaps you should read my post one more time. On second thought, read it twice. I know exactly what you are trying to convey with your shallow post. No one is talking about that, so take your rusty 2 cents and go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yourauntbob Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Thai people have trouble with the following letters R - they have a similar sound in Thai but pronounce it as an "L" V/X - they dont have an equivalent in Thai They are used to cutting the suffix off of words in Thai and carry that trait to English, many simply dont understand that can change the context. As for my g/f, she does all of the above. She speaks in a very understandable manner, but it takes my family back home some time to get used to her pronunciation.

phuturatica Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 My wife can pronounce the letter v. I think you've made a generalisation Naughty! If you read my post it wasn't a generalisation. I said "they can do it with practice but it takes time" Some learn how to say it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
