Is it okay to admit to you right now how I used to think orangutan was pronounced or-gan-tew-ahn?
Oh you are not serious, are you? Why did you think orangutan was pronounced that way?
I always read the word a different way than I should have.
Orangutan can be a difficult word for a child to pronounce. It's acceptable to struggle with words, as we get older we learn how to pronounce words the proper way.
It took me a long time to realize it. Now I know how to pronounce it. I'm used to saying it properly these days.
ids can get the pronunciations of a word easily misinterpreted as they are quite young. They develop better coordinated verbal skills as they get older, and this is the case for you.
