First language influence: Somali, Dinka, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Russian, Thai, Korean, Japanese, and many L1 Arabic dialects do not have the /v/ sound. /v/ may be mispronounced by Lao, Khmer, Malay, and Pashto speakers. Some Russian and Swahili speakers can be prone to trill the /r/ sound. Turkish has three varieties of r that is dissimilar to /r/ so is overpronounced when read aloud. /r/ may be mispronounced by Thai and Lao speakers.
Every day, when reporting the news, I need to be very aware about how I pronounce words. Even if you practise just a little bit each day it can help. Because I can get very busy at work, I usually bring my lunch. Sometimes I’ll bring fried rice that I’ve cooked the night before, and sometimes, if I’m really busy, I’ll just have a vegemite sandwich.
