Further random observations

While waiting on the bus to go back, there was a youngish kid with his mother on there. He was slightly annoying but I was fascinated to be able to understand nearly everything he said, unlike arbitrary adult conversations I overhear.

He kept saying 'minibus' (obviously it's the same word in Spanish as English) in a way that sounded absolutely fine to me, but his mother kept correcting his pronunciation. I couldn't tell the difference between her way and his, except that he audibly said it completely wrong while trying to imitate her pronunciation after being corrected.
