Thread: Bebole !!

  1. #1

    Default Bebole !!

    Good afternoon,

    Today I want to have a discussion about an issue that we face in Oman, whice is our accent.
    So many of us speaks english in by using Omani accent.

    Examlpes : people = bebole
    I hope so = I hobe so
    Bag = Baj

    Im not saying that I'm the Mr.English here, but it really sound funny and
    I can't hold myself from laughing when I hear this accent.

    I wish if I can get replies with very open minded people so we can figure out how to solve this major issue .

    Waiting for your ( Rebliezz )

    Yeah this happens a lot and I mainly blame the education system here.

    I was fortune enough to have European friends since I was a young kid and it really did help me improve my English.

    Another thing I use these days is voice chatting, it really does help your accent.

    Hi,
    I strongly agree with @BilIie Jean about blaming our education system. Plus its our mistake also, when we were in school, our big deal was just to pass, no matter how to pronounce each word correctly. We can not learn English from school, we need to be more interested in watching movies and learn how to pronounce the words correctly or even chatting with foreign friends. Actually there many ways, but we need to encourage our kids to really fall in love with this language.

    I assure u arabic accent can be removed by practice and ignore the inner voice like "this sound funny in my language"or " my friends will make fun of me" . also, speaking with a native tongue makes the accent wow.

    You are all right indeed, yet "laughing when I hear this accent" is not the solution!
    You can help correcting the pronunciation of that person. Plus we are in 2016 and if there is a person
    Speaking English in his own accent, then he/she is to be blamed!

    Thanx for the honest replay.

    When I say its funny, I dont mean i am making fun of it
    Its natural to smile when you hear these words
    And its hard to till the person that your pronouncing the words wrong.

    I wish if we can figure out a way to correct this.

    Im really willing to help

    Thanx for share sister

    And thats the spirit, you are a victim of this issue and you are pracristing to let it go.

    Keep it up and try to copy the american or british accent. As the guyz said.

    True, most of us studied English, but we need to exercise more language, because many of us are located in mistake whether in speaking or writing ..
    - If some of us have made a mistake we have to help him , and directing some of the tips in learning ..
    Thanks brother

    Away from the mistakes and how to pronounce the litters
    I think that's another subject


    I love my accent.
    Or as you said "Omani accent "
    I think you should be proud.


    I can change my accent. Thats not something difficult for me, but I don't want. I heard so many times that I have lovely accent


    and it is nice to have your own personality and to keep it when you speak others languages. But you have to pronounce the words correctly as well.

    Over the world people do not speak English in one accent.

    I agree that we should make other nationalities speak
    Our language too.

    I think i made a bad point of myself rather than making a positive
    Issue i feel bad already.

    Lol
    Many Omanies have difficulty in pronunciation
    But it's their tongue
    I meam we can't change it

    As one of the members mentioned it's the same when any other for example learns Arabic they won't pronounce all the words correctly

    So i think it's a worldwide problem
    Not only in Oman
    Just listen to Indian they way they speak English it's also not correct
    One = van
    Like this they are talking
