Today in the car:
D: Hey Amélie, diz para mamae que voce gosta da musica da Bebel!
a: Mommy, I really like the music with BEBEL (with the Brazilian pronunciation - which to novices like her mom, sounds like BEBE-OU)
M: Ah tu aimes bien la musique de BEBE-OU?
D: No, not BEBE-OU, BEBEOU, like BRAZIOU (that in fact is written BRAZIL but pronounced in a strange way to my novice ears...)
M (totally making fun now): Oh, BEBE-OU (with accentuated French Accent on the 'OU')!
a: no mommy, BEBEOU!
D: see mommy, BEBEOU!
M: oh, ok, BEBEOU (more or less)!
a: yeah, GREAT JOB Mommy (with of course the over excitement that her parents display when saying this to her)!
Keeping in mind that she is only 2 and a bit years, I guess that means many more pronunciation lessons are ahead for all of us!
