They can teach him how to pronounce certain words and proper naming of some things that he may be calling them with the names that are not common there in North Carolina.

Explanation:

There are words that we learn locally in the vicinity where we live and these words may not be common words that are used widely by most people but are understood within that circle of community or society.
