My dear wife always asks me to pick up some "crips" (crisps) for her.
I really like these little pronunciation mistakes.
My Visayan (Cebuyano) is dreadful so I really am proud of her.
I now say crips too, well why not, a little bit of fun never hurt anyone!
Does anyone else like the way our English words come out?

Maayo Kaayo bai! Tinoud!
Ya, and you know what else, I've started using sorta bisaya grammar sometimes, as when I was living there - for a year until a month ago, I had to use bisaya every day, coz where i was, very few people spoke english with any kind of fluency! lol
I always try and sharpen my visayan when I am there,why not,pinays are expected to use english here,when in rome I always sayIts "berry,berry" easy to pick up
Pinoys call it "Bamboo" or broken-english.
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
Apparently everyone thinks I speak slang here.. I was corrected just last week when I found a 5 ft 3 kilo Python..
"Its snick....Not snake"
You live and learn.
It's the text message abbreviations that drive me mad...
The funniest thing I heard her say, was her pronounciation of 'Hippopotamus'.
Of course, it's totally lost on here, but it never fails to amuse me, when I think of it.
Yes I 100% doMy dear wife always asks me to pick up some "crips" (crisps) for her.

Classic chinese restaurant joke -
Excuse me waiter, this chicken is rubbery!
Fank you velly much!
As I work part time in chinese restaurant, my chinese friend asked me 'Can you serve 1 cok (instead of coke) to table sex (instead of six)' I was embarrased when she said that because customer heard her loud and clear.
Also some of my visayan friends they mention Tam instead of Tom.
Not an expert, I only try to help.
Ha! I often go to my local chinese cafe (George st, brighton) for lunch and usually have a can of coke, and it's a bit disturbing having the waiter stand over me and asking "do you want cok with that" especially as this is the most gay area in area in brighton.....
Also, I always have the chicken stir fry noodle, and when the waiters not there the chef comes out and offers me "you want usual chicken cok?"
btw, "chicken" is gay slang for a young male....
Dispense with cok

I'll try that thanks! what danger is there that I will mispronounce it so it sounds to a chinese person like what their pronounciation of coke sounds like to me? could be interesting.Dispense with cok
ouch! i'm bisaya... but.. i don't talk like that...
well... one thing though.. i speak american english... so Blackley is pronounced as Blakely (long a).. which i find funny...
i'm proud to be bisaya!!!
I love the differences in pronunciation between US and UK english, I work for an American company and once had a senior manager over from the states doing some sort of research, she used to introduce herself thus, and I swear I am not making this up -
Hi! I'm Randy and I need five minutes of your time...
My husband also helped me to pronounce crisps.
There's another one word they laughed when I pronounce biscuit.
I said I want BIS-KU-WIT' instead of bis-kit .
Filipino fishermen here do pronounce the same. One time, me and hubby were staying at port with filipino fishermen and there were pupils around and they shouted "Hello BIS-KU-WIT"
.
One fisherman said, one of them is his skipper's son and sure they talked about his pronunciation.
Im proud to be bisdak( bisayang dako) too
oh funny funny accent
LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL
Yes I 100% do
My sweethearts "pried chickin" is sooo cute

I was in Sunderland maybe 20 years ago,one of the first Pinays there was from Cavite but she had been in the north-east for a few years,her husband had a business shipping Ronblon marble over to the UK for fireplaces and kitchen worktops,her name was Angie and she always used to say "Why aye man" in a pinay-geordie accent

Hubby speaks geordie accent, Mom is different accent. Dad speaks berwick accent. But I prefer to like Cocky and Birmingham accent.I was in Sunderland maybe 20 years ago,one of the first Pinays there was from Cavite but she had been in the north-east for a few years,her husband had a business shipping Ronblon marble over to the UK for fireplaces and kitchen worktops,her name was Angie and she always used to say "Why aye man" in a pinay-geordie accent

Suzie is from near Cebu and speaks American English too. She has a little trouble understanding my English accent, so how did the ladies on here find the English accent when they first heard it?

Even english people wrongly pronounce some words like singing, they pronounce it sing-ging!!!
Lovely- Lablei!
