These Are a Few of My Favourite Words...

I’m not sure how many of you have had the opportunity to speak with Japanese folk, but when you do, one thing you will quickly notice is that there is little, if any, distinction between the “r” sound and the “l” sound. Usually, it really is not a problem. There are some words, however, that are just a little too difficult to say!
These are a few of my favourites so far!
Really
Squirrel
Retired
Rural
River
Wrestling
Exploration
It takes tongue twisters to a whole new level!

Hey cousin Becky!!

Nice blog.

When I was in the Philippines I found they had a hard time with "f" "v" sounds. So they always said "Pilippines" and "pabourite" and things like that. Nice to hear from you and you're experiences sound great.

Cousin John.

should say "your" instead of "you're." Payton would have a big red circle on this place. "ITS" "WHATS" coming to him. Bwa ha ha ha.
