Eleven

Have you ever wonder why there is a difference in the pronuncation for certain part of the word which had the same meaning? I never until my cousin (who is just in K1) pronunce the word eleven differently.

Actual: eleven = e-le-ven
His: eleven = el-e-ven just like elephant = el-e-phant

though his pronuncation is not correct but i think he might have got confused as they both start with the same 'ele-' so i guess he's not so wrong afterall.

my mum had a big laugh when she overheard me trying to imitate him.
