Remember West Side Story? There was this part where they were singing how America was so great and wonderful. West Side Story is celebrating it’s 50th year this year. I want to watch it.. The production I watched of it was a high school production which really sucked. I read that the story still has social Relevance until now, which is pretty cool. Racial differences, and so on.
But anyway, Filipinos are generally using Standard American English pronunciation…but not really. I mean, not that much. At least we try to. We still have our own pronunciations of words and so on. (And I just found out that AWRY is pronounced like Tagalog “aray” and not “aww-ree”
