A small group of students and I were talking about different pronunciations of words. For example, you say potato, I say potoato. You get the picture.
I brought up how my fiance and I had had a disagreement about the pronunciation of the word "coupon". I told my student Ricardo, a precious Mexican boy, that my fiance says "Q-pon" and I say "coooo-pon". I asked Ricardo, "Who is right? How do you say it?"
Without hesitation, he replied, "Los cupones."
This made me laugh!
ReplyDeleteOf course I have to side with your fiance because, of course, I know where he learned it . . .
