A four-year-old’s attempt to refine his mother's English pronunciation became an instant viral hit, showcasing the toddler’s remarkable wisdom and charm.
The clip, shared on Facebook by Lujabe Siphe, was met with widespread amusement and praise for the young boy’s intelligence.
The video, posted by the mom, Lujabe Siphe, on her Facebook account, features the little boy, Zuluboy, explaining the crucial rules of English speech to her. He began by instructing his mom that she must not open her mouth too wide when speaking English, advising her to keep it open just a little. The mother sounded shocked by this sophisticated instruction, but promised to comply.

Zuluboy then provided specific corrections for his mother. He noted how she pronounces the word ‘orange,’ instructing her to replace the hard 'r' sound with an ‘o(w)range’ sound instead, and patiently asked her to repeat it. Another challenging word was ‘dollar,’ which he explained required her to roll her tongue correctly for the pronunciation.
