"Computer" becomes "Compurer"?

[-Vision-]

We are together the foreigners to english language. As some of you guys say don't blame other. That's correct. But here we just want to clarify that to happen to do the right way is even more helpful for our nation and build fame even though this is not our target to be famous. Help the nation and all to stand in the right position.

I even heard that from a qualified doctor. He said he learnt this from his son who is studying abroad. Honestly, i'm so sick of this.

It's better for us to know the different sounds of the native speakers while pronouncing such the same words.

Why we need to argue to find the rite and wrong between that? I dare to say there's no rite or wrong among that.

[denith]

Well, its important to ensure the true pronunciation of one certain words.

If you want to know the accurate pronunciation is to check it out in the very formal dictionaries, esp, in the IPA symbol dictionaries!!!

If you check you can see the correct and international acceptive pronunciation, yet please make sure that your surrounder understand, mainly non-native English speakers, what you want to convey!!

No one can help you, Reth! Have you ever heard the proverb "God help him who helps himself".

I though I can not help you, yet I can share you my experiences.

To be good at speaking is to practice speaking! See some points bellow:
-Motivate ourself (don't think too much on making mistakes)
-Be confident (believe you can do that)
-Think a minute or two  before having your words out
-don't focus deeply on grammar
-Find partners to practice English speaking
-If there is no partner, try to have a speak to ourself in English

Hmm... I was told that: Its somewhat correct to pronounce "Computer" similar to "Compurer", but not "Compurer" directly, its sound like "Computrer". And, only found in US and Canadian English.

[vignean]

It is not such a remarkable thing should be considered!
It does not mean that the written spelling is changed,but only pronuciation of the native speakers tend to make the word shoter.Typically, let's see the word "later" or "a little bit" .
Anyway,just dont thing about it that is just the natural sound af authentic speakers.

Its really not significant, but, its something which will lead to the significant. The point is, eventhought we are talking about the term "computer", but the thing we concern is how its begins and spreads. We concern the quality of delivering the knowledge by those teachers. That's what we want to caere.

Computer or Compurer depends on where the speakers are from. I think the English pronounces "computer," and the Americans say "compurer." The Australians might pronounce as the English do.
I don't think there is anything bad with either pronunciation. Accent is just a label of where you are from.
A few months ago I watched a British movie (Vera Drake) with a whole bunch of Americans. I tried so hard to understand what the people in the movie were saying and i picked up maybe only thirty percents of the words. After fifteen minutes or so of quiet (i thought i was the only one who struggled to understand,) one person stood up and asked the audience whether the movie was hard to understand, shocking to me, everyone raised their hands and wanted subtitles.

Teachers have tremendous effect on their students. Whatever the accent of the teacher is, students tend to imitate his accent; which is normal.

I still don't believe American pronouce pure "Compurer". Where is the "t"? Eventhought, its gonna be a quick pronunciation, but they - American - never missed the inclusion of the "t". So, its gonna be "Comput'rer"... while we - Cambodian - try to be cool, and MISunderstand the real flow, to purely and roughly pronounce "compurer" while knowing no error inside their head.s

[Pros_DingDong]

Another similar case is "letter." Americans pronouce le-rer. There's no wrong or right in English because this language doesn't have specific rule for pronunciation, and every language changes or evolves through time. Just look at our Khmer language.
Even among Cambodians, there are different accents (Battambong, PP, Siem Reap, Takeo,...)
Likewise, There are different accents of American English too. Not every American pronouce computer "compurer."
But in general, compurer is the way they say it. However some Cambodians who try to say "compurer" don't say it right. It should be com-puuuuu-rer (-rer is really short,) and -pu is the loudest and longest.

Why Cambodian people prefers "coolness" to "Specification"?
