    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.

    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?

    Well Suzie is definitely getting used to my accent as now she hardly has to ask me to repeat things! I mentioned to her about 'biscuits' and she says it correctly but said that she has to say it 'bisquits' for the older people like her grandma!

    ... my brit friend asked me how I pronounce 'bisuits'.. I told him that I dont pronounce it as 'bis-quits'. He told me that word is pronounced diff'rently here in Manila and he finds it funny.

    I am pure tagalog (bulakenya po ako ) and grew up here in Makati so I think I dont have difficulty of saying those words. My papa who is from Romblon and of course bisaya, says it as 'bis-kwit'. I wish I know how to speak bisaya and be fluent in it. I know some words but I cant even say a full sentence. :(
