If you've ever lost a passport you know how edgy you would be feeling. Imagine this gent strolls by from immigration or Homeland Security [ if your unlucky ] and starts what could turn out to be a long night. Suddenly from out of the blue you get a maverick trouble shooter breezing in and asking" you Indian" and after much mumbling and a few tries at accented mumbo-jumbo sounds... finally a solution emerges. You're asked ....to say the word Manager.....and lo and behold you're let free. You say it as man...Age...jjer with some hidden reference to the aging process. The same thing holds good for damage which is another 'age' defying Indian rope trick. The real solution could be to practice the words like edge/wedge/ledge and then make a progression of sounds that lead to man'edge' The whole process is to try to keep things simple, sharp and crisp. I would like to say tighten the script during delivery. Sometimes working with a good language coach really helps to iron-out the mistakes that keep cropping into the system.There's an audio clip that makes things a lot easier and I hope that puts things in a better perspective.
