#141 Our favourite mistakes: Pronunciation
▶️ Try pronouncing the following words:
• hello
• like
• look
• online
• only
❓What do these words have in common?
❗️ They all contain /L/ sounds that Russian-educated Uzbeks often pronounce with a Russian very dark /L/. This is probably for their similarity to Russian words:
• hello sounds like алло
• like sounds like лайк
• look sounds like лук
• online sounds like онлайн
• only sounds close enough to online
