I Do Speak English
by Erica
My husband likes to tease me for the way that I pronouce certain words. For example, I substitute the short /e/ vowel for the short vowel /a/. Words like bag, flag, and tag are hard for me to pronouce correctly. I attribute my language skills to my upbringing in MN which this online test seems to state.
