Hola, CX friends...
Stupid foreigner here. Sorry, need English language education.
Do you pronounce "tyre" or "tire"...?
Do you say "licence", sorry, I say "license"...

Saying the "c" sound is not that easy, as I live since 15+ years with the Spanish language.
I have occasionally a "hair on my tongue" to say "c" as in "licence"...
And for the "lorry", so difficult (low-wee), I pronounce it "trrrrruck"...

Opinion - That ICAO English proficiency is - ri-di-cu-lous.
Never had problems in the old days at KaiTak. You are better than LHR...
Except in NRT, they say REFT and LIGHT...

Happy contwails...
