Why Do I Pronounce It ‘Laich Lecha’?

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Hi, this is David Alamovski with our question and answer shorts. This question was uh submitted by the hiliga Rabbi Aon Friedler. Many times you quote from paras and you call it le with a under the lammed of le. Why do you pronounce it that way? There is a segle under the lammed and not a se. The answer is because I am sloppy and I have a comical Long Island accent. That's why I pronounce river with an a at the end instead of an e r because that's just the way I talk. I remember I was teaching gamarra and I said the gumar brings three sources and one of the guys laughs and says mushroom, onion and vegetable. I was like what? says it's sources, not sources. [laughter] So, it does remind me when I was diving
