Accidental barrier

It was the last spring vacation today. I spent with my host family. Afternoon, they took me to Cronulla. While I expected to go to Crunulla beach again, we enjoyed just shopping. My host mother and sister seem to dislike swimming in the ocean.

Have you ever eaten Teppan ice cream which is a kind of ice cream mixed with some sweets on iron plates? The shops, "Cold Stone creamery" is famous for making such ice cream. In Australia, we can see a same kind of shop "Cold Rock". It was very hot today. I ordered "Aussie vanilla ice cream mixed with "M&M's" chocolate. I thought that how to order ice cream is not so difficult as how to order sandwich in "Subway". But a salesgirl didn't seem to understand... I shouted many times. When my host mother said the same thing, a salesgirl finally nodded. My pronunciation of "M&M's" was incorrect. I couldn't conceive that I can't say such a easy and famous name of sweets properly.

As one of students in English phonetic laboratory, I want to acquire natural pronunciation.
