[turbid flint]

SO GOOD to have in mind when starting thank you

[stray plume]

I feel like if I pronounce something shorter than I suppose to, it's probably not a big deal. I assume people probably aren't going to even notice it.

[coarse yacht]

Hm... Boot would become Bot.

[lime snow]

Alles; ahber; Tahl

Long ones sound like there's an h between it

[ashen timber]

Nah they aren't not the same

It's more like an ay thing

[narrow bloom]

It's amazing how like... comparitive sounds are different depending on what languages you speak.

[lime snow]

Leben sounds like is has an h

Lehben

[burnt scaffold]

Longer vowels sound like a double vowel

[lime snow]

Rin says "ehnlich"

[turbid flint]

is that the same IPA symbol for short e and short ä?

[lime snow]

ID say "ähnlich"

[narrow bloom]

Wow, that's totally different.

Mmmm Käse

[narrow bloom]

Ich will käse essen.

[lime snow]

Hmmm, käße

[turbid flint]

is it the same IPA symbol for short e and short ä?

[scarlet ore]

I know someone once said käsä and I was cackling

[lime snow]

Depending on the word

[ashen timber]

Rin

[keen acorn]

Rin

[lime snow]

Ä can be pronounced as ä or e, but you could theoretically use e instead of ä

[coarse yacht]

Wait what...

What did I do...

[keen acorn]

Laughing

[turbid flint]

Danke sehr! :D

[lime snow]

Hey, I notice the difference

[coarse yacht]

[turbid flint]

[coarse yacht]

You just want me to talk more.

[lime snow]

They are pretty similar.

[keen acorn]

Guilty as charge

[lime snow]

I think, people wouldn't notice if you were to use e instead of ä

[turbid flint]

Mike brought here to be bullied

[fringe spoke]

So is Mike saying different words, like they're actually spelled differently?

[fiery gale]

[sacred mesa]

Ä sounds similar to my Norwegian e sound: https://voca.ro/1kGLUZjpst8M

It's not [e], it's a bit lower

[lime snow]

I hear a difference between what you said and ä

More open mouth

[fringe spoke]

the "otherwise" is just for foreign words right?

Like Café

[sacred mesa]

My e is something like [e̞]

[lime snow]

Her voice is so lovely

[narrow bloom]

Circa is from Latin iirc

[fiery gale]

Circa is a latin word I believe

[fringe spoke]

Or are there native words that would use the C (k sound)

[coarse yacht]

Thanks.

[low zodiac]

"Cerca de la calle"

[lime snow]

I mean cows

[coarse yacht]

[turbid flint]

Celcius is a latinized name too. Chaos is Greek

That is just Kaos, ja?

[sonic sundial]

Sag obers

Schlagobers

[median horizon]

[sacred mesa]

The Standard German l is different from the light l in other Germanic languages when it's at the end of a word or before a consonant

[lime snow]

[lime snow]

Kwelle

[turbid flint]

The (in)famous R

[glad ocean]

[coarse yacht]

True.

[lime snow]

Kwark

[low zodiac]

The german r....

[lime snow]

Nur 2?

[sacred mesa]

I've also heard English-y r sounds in dialects

[lime snow]

Es gibt auch das "fake" r – ea

[sacred mesa]

I would use an alveolar r

[low zodiac]

How do you know when you use the gutteral r or the tipsy r?

[turbid flint]

OOH thats the video I watched yippee! :3

[worn harbor]

[sacred mesa]

Postalveolar approximants, I mean

[fiery gale]

[turbid flint]

He also has a video where he has side photos of where the tongue position is

for the ch and r sounds :3

[fiery gale]

Aight

[keen acorn]

I remember reading this somewhere so can someone confirm: Can you just use them interchangeably? As the one you can use, since the guttural might not be easy to do depending on your language

[lime snow]

In Bayern u use thr tip, in Rest oft germany THW guttural

[narrow bloom]

English has its weird R. Then I learned Japanese which has its own weird R. Then I learned Swedish, which has yet another weird R. And now I'm learning German with ANOTHER weird R.

[keen acorn]

While learning*

[sacred mesa]

What Swedish r do you mean? There are so many different ones

[keen acorn]

Fair fair

[low zodiac]

So whatever Word I read, it's better to read it with the gutteral r?

[narrow bloom]

Yes.

[turbid flint]

Also better to learn it right first if you're aware of it so you don't have to unlearn it later

[lime snow]

The guturall sounds more standard

[stray plume]

When you have e before r you can just say a when you fast-talk, right?

[sacred mesa]

I often hear uvular trills in German and French, not just fricatives

[lime snow]

But the r in "Herr" is different than in "Rose" for example

[low zodiac]

In Große and rose, the beginning sounds really similar

[coarse yacht]

[low zodiac]

Are those two the same?

[median horizon]

when you say "trilled" , you mean the tongue flapping on the roof of your mouth, right?

[low zodiac]

Or is it just a slightly different pronunciation?

[lime snow]

I think so

[low zodiac]

Okay thanks 👍🏼

[worn harbor]

Große and Rose

[lime snow]

Ihr könnt auf mich vertrauen

[keen acorn]

Dat is a good tip. We have just super simple R in my mother tongue

[lime snow]

Now do the tip r, rin

[turbid flint]

I'm american you don't gotta complain about R to me

[narrow bloom]

So we R moving on.

[keen acorn]

You sir, are good

[lime snow]

As a native I can say that there are even Germans that have problems with the r sounds

(I couldn't pronounce it until 6 years ago)

It's Low Saxon, AKA Low German

Plattdüütsk/Nederdüütsk

https://www.atlas-alltagssprache.de/runde-1/f14a-c/

[turbid flint]

same ipa as the "-ch" in "ich" for the -ig :O

[worn harbor]

yes!

[sacred mesa]

G is pronounced as a velar fricative here

[keen acorn]

THAT'S why -ig was so fuckin confusing

I am stucking to the -g sound lol

[rugged dirge]

its a sneaky e

[glad ocean]

it gets the french treatment

[stray plume]

You pronounce e before n as fast as humanly possible. 😁

[turbid flint]

even the austrian dialect. #justiceformike

[sacred mesa]

Many dialects don't vocalise r

[keen acorn]

It is a bit softer r sound

[flint zinc]

Can anyone tell what book shes using?

[glad ocean]

ig its a ppt

[keen acorn]

It is Presentation Kuh made herself that will be shared later

In my Michigan accent, it's illegal not to say the ending R with as much emphasis as possible.

What was the second website for pronunciation?

[hearty summit]

I don't know to what extend this is the case with german, but swedish recordings of single words sometimes differ from what the word is most commonly pronounced, because they are trying to speak clearly.
There is a website which shows videos where that word is used, which can be helpful at times:

[scarlet ore]

By the way, I'm unsure if I can read early on because my voice still sounds like a crow and I gotta wake up more to not sound like a crow 😍

[gilded ore]

Hallo everyone! I don't know how long I can stay, maybe only an hour. I have a friend of the family staying but she is here for a week and can manage without me for a while!

Able to translate normal text of about this level, you don't have to know all the names of ducks, for example

[humble junco]

wait wdym?

oh shit

[topaz bone]

I'm still traumatised from that ahaha

[humble junco]

@coarse yacht we can't raise our hands lmao

[topaz bone]

[topaz bone]

I'm munching on some snacks right now ahahahah I'll be happy to read in a bit

[orchid magnet]

i can have some issues

[fiery jewel]

sorryyy i was sorting out my window i put my hand up

[coarse yacht]

Yeah. Audiobook again.

[orchid magnet]

cause engish isnt my first language

but 70-80 persent

[humble junco]

rin, we know you ~~can't ~~ don't like it, so it's fine

[scarlet ore]

same 💔

[humble junco]

(sorry, that was rude)

[coarse yacht]

I actually do like it if Base bully me to do it. I just would never say it out loud.

[scarlet ore]

Rin is as good at translating as I am 😍

[topaz bone]

You've got this Rize! They'll make you a regular reader in no time

Mousesack bakc in the room 👀

[humble junco]

niiiice!!

[topaz bone]

Well read Rize!

[coarse yacht]

False. lol.

[humble junco]

why is Rivia Riva in german??

[gilded ore]

customs

[scarlet ore]

Sigh..

[humble junco]

what were their problem with that second "i" 😭

[fiery jewel]

rivija

[coarse yacht]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[humble junco]

low voice...? something?

[gilded ore]

hoarse

[humble junco]

ok, makes sense

[fiery jewel]

neigh

[stable sandal]

https://tenor.com/view/horse-hungry-so-hungry-meme-gif-5339408083320360126

[coarse yacht]

Not me asking myself what a horse voice is....

[humble junco]

I think horses and cats would be one of the funniest to talk to, they'd give you lip all the time and comment on absolutely everything you do, judging you 24/7

DESTINY!!!

WOOOO

[coarse yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/destiny-destiny2-love-heart-valentines-gif-11031171

[fiery jewel]

ich bin das kind der vorsehung

[humble junco]

that's the word used for destiny, I see, that's also in the title of the second book

Schwert der Vorsehung

[scarlet ore]

My german understanding : 97.531 %
My english understanding : -25%

[fiery jewel]

what happened to that 2.469% 😭🙏🏻🙏🏻

[stable sandal]

is Vorsehung a synonym for Shicksal?

[topaz bone]

eintretend...I'm not sure how to translate that? I'd like to call it 'the following silence' or subsequent silence?

[fiery jewel]

the sound of silence

[coarse yacht]

First one sounds good.

to me.

[topaz bone]

but in the dictionary it only translates eintretend as 'bicentenary adj. alle 200 Jahre eintretend' 💀

[gilded ore]

"ensuing silence" laut Google

[humble junco]

yeah, pretty much

[humble junco]

would make sense

[humble junco]

it's like destiny vs fate

very similar, maybe a subtle difference in some contexts, but super subtle

[topaz bone]

https://tenor.com/view/rotten-carriage-post-gif-24488309

hehehee

midnight has struck...

[humble junco]

this is how Igel arrived, no one can convince me otherwise

[topaz bone]

ooh I like that one!

[fiery jewel]

Sonic der Igel

[coarse yacht]

So many crossovers today again...

[scarlet ore]

What now

[humble junco]

strange face maybe?

[topaz bone]

that's what I'd go with

maybe peculiar?

[humble junco]

mmmm I feel strange would fit in here better

but peculiar could work

idk I'd use peculiar for an object/event

[coarse yacht]

For?

[humble junco]

"seltsame Miene"

and for seltsame

[topaz bone]

describing his face, like 'a peculiar expression'

[coarse yacht]

I see...

[gilded ore]

I see er zucht zusammen so often and I know what it means but I always have trouble translating it.

[coarse yacht]

*zuckt

[gilded ore]

Oops! for once it was genuinely a typo

[coarse yacht]

I wasn't sure. ^^ My apologises.

[gilded ore]

No, don't apologise, it needed correcting!

[coarse yacht]

[humble junco]

they all wince at once

[gilded ore]

wince is good!

[humble junco]

grimace could work, but wincing is the best for this context (yeah, I love finding the right words, I'm a nerd at languages)

[stable sandal]

👏

good job

[topaz bone]

Very well done Rize!!

[humble junco]

gg!!

[topaz bone]

especially given English isn't your first language

[scarlet ore]

GOOD JOBE!!!!!

[slender tapir]

Have a good lesson. 🍓 🍪

[gilded ore]

Well done Rize!

[stable sandal]

LMAO

[topaz bone]

They're homophones 🙂‍↕️

[humble junco]

no, it's the same

[topaz bone]

like flower and flour

[humble junco]

yup

[stable sandal]

i think they sound the same in all dialects

[fiery jewel]

which witch is geralt

[gilded ore]

they are homonyms

[topaz bone]

"I don't know whether the weather shall improve"

[gilded ore]

Oh, no, homophones is right

[humble junco]

yeah, homophones, same sound, different spelling

[topaz bone]

you're right too fairy!

mine was just more specific

[gilded ore]

that's the word I was looking for!

[scarlet ore]

I wanted to read but my wifi is tweaking again

💔

[humble junco]

yeah, you can use it as an adverb

[topaz bone]

your term also applied to words such as like "wound the bandage around the wound" which is a homograph

[humble junco]

but I haven't seen it too often

[gilded ore]

homograph is new to me!

[humble junco]

yup

[stable sandal]

alles gut

[topaz bone]

me too! I just looked it up ahahah

[stable sandal]

same

[fiery jewel]

wound and wound are pronounced different

[topaz bone]

soz base

[fiery jewel]

wow-nd and woo-nd

[stable sandal]

why the long face, base

🐴

[scarlet ore]

..

[fiery jewel]

i have not

[topaz bone]

yep! hence why homograph - same look, different pronounciation. Homophone means sounds the same, but looks different

[scarlet ore]

HELPP

[humble junco]

HAHAHA

[coarse yacht]

lmao...

[fiery jewel]

i think so well

[topaz bone]

You're not mean, Rin. You're just German 😂

[scarlet ore]

Awoopp

[honest python]

oh, we have a member that does that, monke

[topaz bone]

Oh Austrian is a different accent for sureee

[gilded ore]

I can't translate but I give it a go

[scarlet ore]

I think your translating is really nice :3

And the brit accent makes it even better

[keen acorn]

Omg Kyshe reading

Also hello people!

[ionic osprey]

Hello

[topaz bone]

Kundtun is an interesting word, not heard that before

[scarlet ore]

OMG THIS PART IS SO SIMPLE STOPP

[topaz bone]

it's a russian roulette that's for sure. sometimes easier sometimes harder

[scarlet ore]

For my english brain

[topaz bone]

Kyshe like a "toot" sound

[stable sandal]

the way i have a b2 level but i cant understand a lot of these words 💀

[topaz bone]

"kund toot" is how I'd try to say it

[scarlet ore]

Ah... I'm gonna try for C1 soon 😭

[topaz bone]

We all learn every session ahaha

[scarlet ore]

But my english translation is.... bad..

Aslong as I can do it in my native language I'm fine

[ashen timber]

[scarlet ore]

No it's you, my HELP buddy ^^

[keen acorn]

[scarlet ore]

THERE IT ISS!!!

[gilded ore]

I've looked ahead in the book and no way - far too many unknown words!

[humble junco]

recognition would work here

[scarlet ore]

Wait kuhri have you been here the entire time

[coarse yacht]

Thats cheating. 🤣 Just look them up beforehand then...

[humble junco]

that is the fun part, do you think I know what I'm reading

[scarlet ore]

..

[humble junco]

I'm just bullshitting my way through

[scarlet ore]

HELPP

[ashen timber]

I just forgot about this lesson

[scarlet ore]

It's all a 50/50 we're winning

#BanApolloBar

[humble junco]

Alp

[ashen timber]

[ashen timber]

[coarse yacht]

Ban worthy.

[scarlet ore]

[keen acorn]

No you are not getting banned from server. You are fetting banned from bar

[scarlet ore]

He's getting banned

[ashen timber]

creatures born of the night?

Idk

[ashen timber]

I never even go into bars bro

[scarlet ore]

Leaving it up to your imagination from what he's getting banned from

[ashen timber]

I spent last night listening to Pollini's recordings of the piano sonatas and downloading a video game

That's about it

💀

[coarse yacht]

You dont go into because you never leave...

[scarlet ore]

I read half of that as potato

[coarse yacht]

Nerd.

[keen acorn]

Hopefully it was phasmo

[ashen timber]

[gilded ore]

ravines

[ashen timber]

Wow you just found out

[humble junco]

@wary atlas I think it's "horrors and monsters" there, they're probably not referring to the actual alps

[keen acorn]

Potato sonatas

[ashen timber]

Nope 😔 Phasmo will never work again I fearrr

But Baldur's Gate 3 should

[wary atlas]

Yes.

[coarse yacht]

Shocking.

[ashen timber]

Stirn is like a brow

[topaz bone]

forehead / brow

[ashen timber]

Hirn is a brain

[scarlet ore]

HIRRRRNNNN

[topaz bone]

to offer your brow / forehead...

[scarlet ore]

hehe..

[topaz bone]

how is it translated again..

[scarlet ore]

@keen acorn

[stable sandal]

whats the difference between hirn & gehirn then 🤔

[ashen timber]

Laziness

[stable sandal]

LOL

[keen acorn]

No I joined like 15 minutes ago

[ashen timber]

[humble junco]

[scarlet ore]

Uhhhh..

[ashen timber]

So uhh lads what did I miss

[simple ferry]

ich kann nichts hören?

[topaz bone]

Mid session reminder to be making notes for your summaries ✨

[scarlet ore]

Agh man..

[ashen timber]

I won't be summarising this one ofc 💀

[keen acorn]

why

[scarlet ore]

I wanted to act like I already read

[coarse yacht]

Not really a difference. Gehirn sounds a bit smarter in my opinion.

[topaz bone]

uhhh midnight has just struck and the hall has filled with mist

[scarlet ore]

But theres no way back now is there ^^

[ashen timber]

Try restarting Discord It's on your end

[topaz bone]

Maybe Hirn is mind and Gehirn is brain?

[coarse yacht]

[humble junco]

wir können hören, uberprüf deine Einstellungen

[ashen timber]

Oh so bro just really doesn't want to have his face seen 😔

[stable sandal]

hirn does sound a bit casual

[coarse yacht]

Nope. Mind would be...ehh... something else...

[humble junco]

yeah, now everyone knows geralt is a witcher, and now shit is hitting the fan

[ashen timber]

Soooo Rosie my dearest friend, you will be reading this session ofc?

Tis only but a small trifle

[scarlet ore]

@topaz bone Psst... psst choco... Can I buy your summary with... 4 carrots????? ( joking )

[scarlet ore]

.....

[ashen timber]

Who is to blame for that 😔

[coarse yacht]

@topaz bone mind would be Geist.

[scarlet ore]

You were the one that " peer pressured " me into reading at my first lesson, Apollo.

[median horizon]

may justice be done

[ashen timber]

I know 😌 Good times

[topaz bone]

interesting!

[simple ferry]

ich kann jetzt hören! Danke!

[topaz bone]

I'd have called that spirit

[ashen timber]

Why hellooo there

[topaz bone]

[humble junco]

Mäussack announced it after Igel was doubting Geralt

[median horizon]

[scarlet ore]

[coarse yacht]

Yeah that works too.

[ashen timber]

[scarlet ore]

Apollo told me he really wants to read next

[simple ferry]

[keen acorn]

Discord is being ass on phone. I cannot hear anyone

[topaz bone]

I can give it to you in English...you'll still need to translate it

[ashen timber]

Hate you too Rosie

[scarlet ore]

WIN WIN

[coarse yacht]

We will see, maybe @median horizon wants to read too.

[ashen timber]

I endorse this

[scarlet ore]

Aslong as Apollo reads it's worth it

[ashen timber]

Send sultry British boy next

[scarlet ore]
