Real Talk It's never easy for me to go to the chemist (pharmacy) and ask for something. I hate that I can't pronounce it the way they say it. And I'm so embarrassed every time I do this. Today I ask for loperamide. Well I pronounce it as lo-pe-ra-mayd and here they say lop-ra-made! If I ask for Ibuprofen, I pronounce it word for word, not Ibrufen. And in the Philippines, the shampoo Pantene is pronounced as Pan-teen. Here, it's Pan-ten! I just laugh at myself sometimes. Sad.

we confirm to neutral American English kasi so there's a difference talaga. pero tama naman yung pronunciation mo
Well, that's normal dear, when you grew up in a different country, for sure those things are unavoidable, but we Filipinos are flexible and fast learners too.😉
