Have a problem with pronouncing some English words? Well, you are not alone...
On East Coast Radio, you will often hear an ad that is read by one of the presenters. They are given a little write up and they obviously go over it before they have to do it LIVE, but sometimes they find themselves stuck with a tricky word...
KZN, as you all know, there is always that one word that just twists your tongue no matter how hard you try or how slow you say it. It will literally have you buckling at the knees because you just get stuck.
"Ain’t that the truth…" Stacey shouted out...
Now in a moment of vulnerability I shared with the team what common word I struggle to pronounce and almost everyone laughed… So, for me the word is… now please stand by because I must literally break the word apart to be able to pronounce it at one go. GENTLEMANLY
But wait for it - Stacey is not the only one that struggles with one or two English words. KZN also have their own battles.
One listener said:
I once struggled with desk and I couldn't believe it. So embarrassing
Another said:
Statistics 🤦🏽♀️ I say it perfectly in my mind... But the moment I open my mouth 🤐.... Thank goodness for "stats" 🤣🤣🤣 I laugh at myself all the time
Listen, Stacey and J Sbu are just glad they are not the only ones because this is a real struggle and once it has you, you have no choice but to slow down, take a breather, and slow your role a bit before pronouncing it.
