Filipina Pronunciations

[Geraldine]

Oohh dear talking of pronounciation/accents...my husband has this heavy brummie accent that its really hard sometimes to understand him. I always ask him to repeat it that he gets upset and ends up talking to himself. At times I will just answer and I havent got a clue what we are talking about...the more he gets annoyed at me

Its funny.... even pronounciation, since in the Philippines its American english so we pronouce words differently like privacy, vitamins, aluminum etc...even my son's names...Daniel and Adam, they say it as Dane-niel and Ai-dam...so I have to correct my friends and family back home.

Well now Im beginning to understand him more, i just need to get used to brummie accents.
