The video was shared by @rarepearl_5 and it showed the boy pronouncing words differently from what the mother knows.
According to the woman, her son has only attended school in Canada for one week, and he acquired the new accent.
When the little boy was told to pronounce ‘water,’ his pronunciation skipped the letter ‘t’ and pronounced it as ‘wora.’
Her mother could not help but ask where he learned it and he said it was his teacher who taught him to pronounce that way.
A lot of reactions have trailed the video with some mothers who also live abroad sharing their own experiences.
