Hahahaha. I used to pronounce words wrongly all the time too, but it wasn't because I had trouble pronouncing certain letters or that I had a lisp. I just never really learned properly. Like, I'd go around saying, "Fees? Feeees?", and my aunt would go, "No! F'sh! F'sh!" (because when you say "fish" quickly it sounds like "f'sh") and after a while I started going, "Fosh! I like fosh!"


And my atrocious Japanese back in my preschool days! Ackkk! I had terrible grammar. I can't remember exactly what I said back then but there is one wrongly spoken phrase of mine that my relatives ALWAYS talk about.

I said, "namenna!" (don't mess with me!)

What I was trying to say was, "namaewa?" (your name is...?)
