Subject: Cockneys?


One of my pupils has developed an interesting vocal quirk. Like the Cockneys out of 'My Fair Lady" he adds an 'h' to words beginning with vowels and forgets to pronounce the 'h' in words beginning with that letter. 'He' becomes 'ee'; 'him' becomes 'im', etc. He has no disabilities and can pronounce properly if corrected.

Any suggestions in dealing with the problem?
