my own language

"ree-kuer" from keo boun pheng on Vimeo.


despite the fact that my parents have been able to get me to physically say certain things correctly (via alternative sound-out methods) ... i still have an equation in my brain that tells me that "thank you" is "ree-kuer" {???} and birthday is "dir-bay" for example --- however, i have been calling my cousin "suki" for the past year and i just started calling her "lus-si" so, there is hope. that someday i'll adapt my own language to full-blown english. {although i think my mom will probably cry when that day comes!}
