Subject: Re: Cockneys?
I do have the same problem with pupils, grown ups in their 20's and 30's. I think you can see, or better hear, this problem also when the people are speaking Hebrew.
If you get any answers with suggestions I would appreciate if you could let me in on them.

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?
