Mother Tongue-Why Is The Letter "R" And "L" A Problem For Anambra Guys? by olaric(m): 12:24pm On Dec 29, 2014 |
I am not trying to make mockery of Anambra people, but I am just curious to know why pronouncing the "R" and "L" letters is such a huge mountain for them? For example: Ragos instead of Lagos, Lice instead of Rice, Lomance instead of Romance, etc. The same thing goes for the Ijaws and some parts of Yoruba and the North. These tribes battle hard to pronounce certain letters. Is it too difficult to overcome certain things because of our mother tongue? |
