Haha.... Me?? I encounter few difficulties.. Very smooth in pronouncing these... [Maybe I thought I am right, and there's no one to correct me.....]

Many people tend to have problems pronouncing words with 'r', 'l' in them....

Lady: Any fees for applying this card?

Haha... actually, If U r very good in hokkien, U are bound to be tongue-tight with words containing letters 'R' & 'L'... U will be confused and pronounce 'R' as 'L', vice versa....
The world is fair.... U can be fluent in English, but not Hokkien; or fluent in Hokkien, but not English... U cannot be fluent in English & Hokkien at the same time, BUT U can be LOUSY in both at the same time.....
