Basically:
- prounounce "I" as "Ah" - cut off ending consonants often - think short, abrupt sounds - making your vowel "i"'s sound like "ee" (i.e., think = theenk) - exaggerate tone differences, try and use strange accents on various syllables and words Regular: "I don't know what you're talking about." Chinese: "Ah do no wut youuu ah taw-keeng ahbowt." |
