A Fun Day with Phonetics

Today I laughed until my belly hurt.

Why? Because of phonetics:
In Japan, there is no "si" sound, only "shi."
Also, the Japanese do not distinguish between "l" and "r."

It makes sentences like:
"Mrs. Rosa Parks was sitting on a bus, clapping" very interesting.


P.S. That is a line from one of the speeches for the national speech contest.
