Mispronounced words
Originally published 12 March 2016
Learning to speak English is hard work. Well, learning any language is hard work really. Look at Daddy - three years learning Japanese and he can barely speak a word of it. So since I'm not even three years old yet, it's no surprise that I'm still getting to grips with some of the words.
That's part of the reason why some words I don't quite get right, but then there are others where the way I like to pronounce them have stuck, to the extent that even Mummy and Daddy call them this now. These are some of my favourite ones that have stuck around for a while.
"Beketts" - breakfast (usually weetbix, banana and milk)
"Bunken" - broken (often something not actually broken, but which needs Mummy intervention to fix)
"Cukky" - cuddly (my sleepytime friend in the picture above: a purple one for home and a blue one for daycare)
"Getaboo" - peek-a-boo (usually said when I'm hiding in the pantry or behind a door)
"What that one noise?" - what's that noise (a phrase more than a word, like in the video below)
