When I first came to U.S in 4th grade, I was sent into ESL and I would get confused between kitchen and chicken. Not that I didn't know the different, but the pronounciations always confused me. Haha. But I never make that mistake anymore!

Was I the only one?

i didn't make a mistake between those words but i was in ESL in 1st or 2nd grade.
I got scared by the crazy teacher
she was old and wrickled skin and she had huge eyes
i didn't understand what the word "ghost" meant so around halloween she tried to explain it to me.
now that i think bout it the scary ghost in that room was her ahahhaha
anyways i still remember u in 4th grade i think my mom still has the 4th grade class photo with her oh so dear memories of her children growing up
that was u then and this is u now
hahahahahhaha come on admit it

haha wow.. nice

i'm going to find our 4th grade picture panorama and post them up

LOL!! ^_^

lol. that's funny, but cute. lol. for a 4th grader. . but, think of it this way..where do you put chicken? in a fridge..where's the fridge? in the kitchen! lol

i didnt either

i just came here, but my English is not bad but my grammers are bad

hehe, that's kind of cute, mixing up kitchen and chicken together. i've always lived in the US so yeah. what was kind of funny was back in high school, one year they thought i was suppose to be in ESL for some reason.

haha kitchen and chicken...i like chicken...xP i had 2 get in esol 2 in kindergarden..but i dun remember y..cuz i was born in da u.s.

I didn't take ESL when I moved here from the philippines.. problem was.. I always said TREE when I meant to say THREE XD it was funny though.

hehe, saying tree instead of three a lot of local people say that here in hawaii.

let me get some kitchen from the chicken

i always get mix up by

Mash potatoes and SMASH potatoes

but not anymore, i been saiding it for a long period of time .. what a shame ..

hah .. i always got tha pronunciations mixed up too .


also tomato and potato xP






oh , when i was young, of course =]

haha niice
lol but that's funny

I remember I took ESL when I first lived in Australia because I didn't say 'good morning' to my classteacher. XPP She thought I didn't know any English.

i didn't go to esl because english is my first language but i can imagine that you would have that problem!
---
Can i have a piece of kitchen?

well, english is my first language, so yeah ^^

yeah english is my first language too but thats cute...



haha i can totally see that.

When I read, I sometimes say like chicken instead of kitchen

no...that's never happened to me.




well....you could count the time i said "homophobic" instead of "homophonic"...and that was only...last semester

I went to ESL kindergarten - 2nd grade.
O_O I would get confused between some and come for some reason.

I don't know. I remember I spelled "carrot" as "krt". Hehe. =]

i went to esl too...but when i moved i stopped going to esl...i still get a lot of words mixed up..like thought and taught...

lmao! i was born with english in my mouth so no, never got confused over words, only in french, i learnt french in 10 months and i speak it almost perfectly, i get confused with "j and g" in french "j" is pronounced "g" and "g" is pronounced "j", its kinda confusing sometimes since my last name is ajayi and when i spell it i usually get confused and they sometimes write "agayi", lmao

lmao ooh yeah !! haha member me&paul would always correct you ;] the memories ..

haha aw..lots of resemblence though..lol

I never did that. I was pretty good with my words.

wellz, when i was younger, i'm alwayz tryin to say "beach" right so i wont have to keep pronouncing it "bitch" hahaha

Who's bringing back all of these old topics?

I was in ESL too, but I was a complete Chinese American. *shrug* And no, I never really had any trouble with those two words.

How does it feel to be in there? I've always wondered..

My boyfriend can't make "th" sounds.. It either comes out a F sound or a D sound.

Brudder = brother, baFroom = bathroom

I think it's ADORABLE when people have trouble pronouncing something hehe :D I hope my bf never learns to make the TH sound.. It's cute when he says brudder and bafroom.. :D

Wow this topic was brought back from the dead..

ha! this boy at my school, he can't say those sounds either and he always says that he has alot of MAF homework. MAF = MATH

i used the two words interchangeably in elementary school

Yeah, I would always get kitchen and chicken mixed up. Oh, I'd also get Jello and Yellow messed up too. Sad part is I was born and raised in the U.S.

no i've never misunderstood the two

english is my first language

Me too. It's confusing for a little kid.

that bored asian person

lol. i STILL accidentally say "i'm going to the chicken" sometimes.

That is so me.
Whenever I read the bible and try to say faith, it comes out as "face"

omg same here!!! i had problems with kitchen and chicken!! like my teacher asked me to say as a sentence... and yeahhh i said my favorite food is kitchen >.<;;;;;;;; and also i said we have an old chicken, but it still looks like brand new. it supposed to be kitchen, but i put chicken >.<;; it was embarrassing for me, but oh wells!! i was an esl student!! no one cant stop me mwahaha... uh hum anyways also he and she... i thought she was a guy and he was a girl >.<;; i got it all confused T___T;; also their and there hehe... and then/than ^__^;;;;;;;;;

Can you believe that I'm still in ESL Class sigh i wish she just put me away from that class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i dont want no more ESL...well it's EASY SO IT'S FUN! well i hate skits and presentations.. my teacher does it wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy tooo much. anyways i got out of ESL when I was in 7th grade, but when i was in 8th grade... i moved to einstein middle school at shoreline, washington.. they gived me the test and i took it. before i took it, i remember that there was lot of korean people in the ESL class, so by getting to know them, i have to get in ESL class..so i pretend that i failed that test..............

and it's so weird!! whenever i tried to take the ESL getting out of the class test... i get so nervous that i cant hardly concentrate, then i lose my focus........................then i fail the test. it's sad and SUCKS!!

:flashbacks: Darn. I remember back in the day I had to go to ESL. Funny thing is: I was born in the U.S... wtwhoa?

I still kinda get confused, 'cause when I learned it: I was up North and you guys know how different people in the Northeast and Southeast speak..

difference*

what's esl?

English as a Second Language

I'm so glad I didnt learn englsi has a second language >_<! English is i think, the hardest language to learn...

Though i grew up learning thai, and english o_o...surpringly, English happens to be my forte in school I despise math...I can see i'm getting into a whole different subject o_o;;

But yah..back to the sub. Dont worry My cousins and parents do say the funniest things when they speak english ^_^ Its nothing to be ashamed of haha ^^

Well, I was never in ESl, but my little cousin was like that too. I thought it was cute =]

You really think so? I spent 4 years learning english and i think i am pretty good but my friends spent 10 years trying to learn chinese and they still can't speak chinese as good as me. i was in esl in arr... 5th grade. Wonderful times there.... i used to confuse chicken and kitchen and i can never say three... but i guess i got much better.

Nah I'm black, so you know I know the difference between chicken and kitchen.
