Accent Reduction, Miami Style

The Accent Reduction Show, Miami Style

Professor Lisa Jeffery tries to get her English Class to reduce their accents. The class is made up of Spanish, Chinese, Portuguese, Thai, Arabic and Indian Speakers. The Spanish speakers make the typical y/j mix-ups, the Chinese make the typical R/L mix-up, Arabic speakers mix up P and B, and most everyone mixes up the ee and i sounds (as in beach and bitch), and the U and O sounds as in FOCUS! The hilarious skit was performed at the holiday party at Florida International University. This is the Advanced English Class for the FIU's International MBA program.
