It was a conversational class where we had casual discussion regarding Traveling
When my turn arrived, I said that I am not a traveler at all, but in Russia we have a tradition: we try to visit sea with children each summer.
My group kept silence for awhile, and then someone asked me:
- Sea, are you sure?
I was surprised by the question, but answered:
- Yep, I am sure
And got a new question:
- Is it safe for children?
I answered:
- Yes, if you look after them, it is safe!
The topic was changed, but I was thinking some time about these strange questions.
After I got a message in the text chat:
- Syria?
And the riddle was solved.
In a way I pronounced "sea" close to "Syria".
A good reason to pay more attention to my pronunciation!
