Pronunciation

I love to listen to CF, my company's HR Senior Manager pronounce some words: "children", "twelve".

Picture her, all serious-looking, not so-badly dressed, armed with a degree (and soon, MBA), fluent in English, Mandarin, Japanese and Hainanese, asking a candidate: "So do you have any chew-ren? How long have you worked? Chelve years?"

Proper pronunciation...It can make or break your image too. Back to basics, woman!
