Laos + Bruneian — Ls : 50

S1 = Brunei female
S2 = Laos male

S2: the real situation when i come er: yet usually is perfect er why i think but something i don’t like because (.) for the foreigner

Intended Word: real

Heard as: leal

Discussion: There is [l] instead of [r] at the beginning of real. It is a little surprising that S1 was unable to understand this, given the context and that leal is not a word in English. But it is significant that this occurred near the start of the conversation, before she had got used to S2's patterns of pronunciation.
