b from beoble

You can’t help but notice that Arabs sometimes mispronounce the letter “P” when they speak English, it’s very common to hear words like beoble, combany, bebsi or broduct among Arabs, I’m not sure why, but maybe cause the letter P doesn’t exist in the Arabic language or maybe cause B is easier to say.

I saw this ad for Spin FM, at the beginning I thought it was a misspell, but then I noticed that they were playing around slang language in Jordan in their campaign.

But do you think hearing someone saying unbrofessional is really a turn-off!
