  • arrrrrrrrrrr, i'm a pirrrrrrrrrate

  • @Alienpoatoes

    Yeah well I'm 13 and I can't say it

    Instead of boring I say dull and instead of girl I say chick

    It's so freaking annoying trying to avoid the words

    It's even worse when my teacher makes me read out loud!

    This video didn't help at all :(

  • @ceceliaceledon13 I am 16 and i also cant pronounce R. instead of girl i say female... and i need my friends help when i must say my last name which is murphy... i hate it so much.. I dont like meeting new people because for the first few weeks they have trouble understanding some of the things i say...

  • @ceceliaceledon13 Same here, but I'm a little older. And I even think about never talking.

  • Why did I think that this was an Englishman when I clicked on it?

  • @helpmelike I have seen multiple speach therepists I am sorry I lashed out at this one video I have just watched so many and it hasn't changed I have tryed despretely to pronounce syllables and it just hasn't worked maybe its time I give up. i do listen to them I do try I just have dealt with this for so long that i can't tell the difference anymore.-.- good luck I hope this helps you

  • @lolilovely13 have you gone to a professional? If yes, then bloody listen to what they say, they've studied the subject and they know what they are doing. If your jaw hurts have you ever thought its maybe cause your not use to using your tongue or mouth that way and it will hurt at first. Hope you learn it and i'm sorry you're being bullied for it , thats not nice.

  • I mix up my L's and R's and W's. L's are easy enough, R's are a pain in the ass though

  • Dork.

  • i some how feel patronised by watching this
