Yesterday, I was reminising on some childhood memories. I always found my dad's accent to be quite different from my teachers' or my mom's.

 

For example, when my dad made my sister and I memorize the multiplication table, he would make us say...

I found it odd as I can't hear the 'R's. So I can't help but ask, "shouldn't it be fou'r'"?

 

Well, now I know 'fou' and 'four' are the same. I can't hear the 'R's from the Brits!! My dad was taught to pronouce in British English.

 

Oh my oh my... talk about lack of international exposure.

 

 

PS: My dad's English sounds like Chinese/British-ish. My English sounds like... erm  strange, uniquely Steph. Hahaha!
