Just wondering. By Ellyy 9 Months Ago Hey everyone just wondering how you all pronounce everyday things espesially if your not from the United Kingdom but i'd still like to see what you pronounce different from me.
Partly because im going to America next summer hopefully if i can get the flight prices down so i know i will be an outcast against my family who live there. But i'm just one curious girl. xoxo, Elly.

Re:Just wondering. By charlotte710 9 Months Ago I have a lot of time on my hands right now...
If you really want American pronunciations, here you go... fruit - froot vegetables - veh-j-tuh-bullz toilet - toy-lit pencil - pen-sill toothbrush - tooth-buh-ru-sh mop - mop pen - pen television - usually everyone just says TV. tee-vee radio - ray-dee-oh phone - f-own washing machine - waw-sching muh-sheen book - bwook picture frame - pit-cher-fraym lamp - lah-mp paper - pay-per chair - ch-air couch - kow-tch sidewalk - s-eyed-wok window - win-doe clock - kuh-lok bed - buh-ed pillow - pill-oh remote - ree-moat soap - s-oap fork - fork spoon - spoon knife - nyfe plate - playt bowl - b-wool toothpaste - tooth-payst shampoo - cham-poo conditioner - kun-dish-in-er mirror - mee-reer keys - keez wallet - wall-it purse - puhurse shirt - shuh-urt pants - pahn-dz shoes - sch-ooz watch - waw-tch bracelet - bray-ss-lit cups - kupz flowers - fuh-lahw-urz trees - chuh-reez computer - kum-pyoo-der mp3 player - em-pee-thuh-ree-puh-lay-er video games - vid-ee-oh gaymz cars - karz trucks - chuh-rukz street lights - sch-reet lie-tz I got these from a website. I'm not sure how correct the British parts are, I put my own American parts. Maybe this is more what you're looking for? chips for you = French fries to me crisps for you = chips to me biscuits for you = cookies to me Headmaster/Headmistress for you = Principal to me cinema to you = movie theater to me (film is usually just movie) postman to you = mailman to me class to you = grade to me parcel to you = package to me flat to you = apartment to me garage to you = gas station to me lift to you = elevator to me rubber to you = eraser to me pram to you = stroller to me dustbin to you = garbage can to me timetable to you = schedule to me Elastoplast to you = BandAid to me... etc.etc.etc. I'm getting tired. Here's the link: http://www.hintsandthings.com/library/WORDS2.htm Why are you worried, may I ask? =) Last Edit: 2011/08/24 16:46 By charlotte710.

Re:Just wondering. By charlotte710 9 Months Ago I understand you from reading your posts just fine. You don't use any cockney or Brit phrases I don't get. Ha, if I were you, I wouldn't worry.
