1. Omit letter ‘r’ when pronounce the words starting with ‘pr’:
Professional ==> Pofessional, program ==> pogram
2. Chocolate becomes cho-ke-lik

When I studied there I had 2 hk female school mates with similar course modules with me.  Quiet but very lazy.  And pretty.

They almost always used their feminine wiles to leech onto assessment assignments by those msian and angmoh students.  Never sinkies dunno why.

Think they still passed (barely) in the end because their assignment grades pulled them up but exams all failed Big Grin
