Too cute!! That -en family is the hardest one to teach down here in the deep south...gives me headaches every year!

Too funny! I always get in trouble when I say "oil", it is a one syllable word. But working with these northerns, they can NOT rhyme dog and frog... so I am okay with it!
I am not even from the south but my 10 sounds like "tin"! Get ("git") and met do not rhyme when I say them. Throws me everytime I see them put together as a rhyme...
Maybe you all could settle something for me. I'm convinced that Oregonians do NOT have an accent. New Yorkers, Southerners, Mid westerners, etc. all have distinct accents, but I don't think we do. Am I wrong? Maybe I'm just totally biased! :) I lived in NC for two years and LOVED the southern accent. It's all so twangy. :) I could never quite get the "ya'll" down though. I always separated into two words, which gave my NC friends a chuckle!

So true! And 'thing' and 'think' are always "thang" and "thank" lol

I was born in raised in Southern California and now teach in rural Mississippi. We have lots of moments like this when my kiddos have no idea what I am saying! It was quite the culture shock when I first moved here but I sure have grown to everything about the South...including the thick accent!

Okay - I am NY born and raised (now living in Fl - for the last 10 years. Seriously - frog and dog (dawg) DO NOT RHYME!!!!! (well not in my class, anyway - LOL!)
I never say y'all. I finally stopped saying yous guys :)
too funny!yes it is difficult to teach the -en word family when you live in Tennessee!:)
And Louisiana! :) I tell my little ones that we have to put our "fancy, rich people" voice in to say the /e/ sound. Otherwise they all say /i/! It's so funny that they really have no idea that they are different sounds. Poor kids. lol. :)

Southern California born and raised here, and the lady who teaches across the hall from me is a "Jersey girl..." She still says "Yous guys" and it cracks me up every time!
I had the same trouble the other day when I told a child he could gEt a drink? DO what? he asked. I repeated myself, oh so properly to no avail. Finally I said he could gIt a drink and he said, "OH! ok!"
