Kids and accent
The mother (@yinkins) added that the kids even sometimes correct her spoken English language.
While speaking with the children in the video, she told them the correct way to pronounce words without speaking like pseudo-Canadians.
Some people who commented on her video said that children pick up new habits faster than adults.
