[real epoch]

the root is the same

[soft owl]

oh wow even better. cognate

[real epoch]

reproduce as well, we use the word «репродуцировать» (reprodutcirovat')

and with ae/e sounds

[soft owl]

ah i see what you mean. russian pronunciation is more ingrained in that case

[real epoch]

kinda hard to distinct them since our «э» sound is just one sound

smth in between ae and e

[soft owl]

yeah english has very high functional load on vowels. pan pen pin pun pine all sound very similar

[real epoch]

another thing that I noticed is when I speak English for like the whole day without using Russian I speak a lot better

but yeah, I've realized it's extremely hard to sound exactly like a native when you use your own language on a daily basis

[soft owl]

yeah. the closest any of my friends who don't live in the US get is by going on vc in games or watching american youtubers, but even then they do this for years

but yeah, to sum up, it sounds from your recording like you practice pronunciation very intensely, maybe 10+ hrs a week

the soft skills are there and specific word pronunciation is mostly a matter of memorization

[real epoch]

well, I don't practice it intentionally, I just speak and listen

probably should try to sit in front of the mirror and practice the sounds I have difficulties with :)

[soft owl]

sounds like a plan! good luck

[dapper gull]

This one is correct. For a living.

[still sand]

second variant is kind of familiar with my effortless speaking :p

How do you you judge each other's accent?

Wbu?

[peak zenith]

Sup

[vivid yacht]

Hiya! This is my 1st audio recording, I have been working on my accent and pronunciation, any advice, tip or recommendation will be very welcome.

[kindred turtle]

Is the r in shark silent?

[delicate lagoon]

no

[soft owl]

in some dialects in the northeast united states, but generally not

and i guess in some dialects of british english, such as in many places in the south of england

[kindred turtle]

I'm actually a asian so my accent's accustomed to"shak" and not shark.

[soft owl]

my understanding is that some of the toughest words to learn in the general american accent for people coming from east asia are "squirrel" and "rural." if you can learn to pronounce those, you're good for pretty much any word with an R in it

[kindred turtle]

I'm actually okay with "squirrel", but "rural" i kinda mess it up because my mouth gets full of saliva and makes it "ruwral"

[soft owl]

honestly, even native speakers sometimes trip over themselves with the word 'rural.'

[tall moon]

Hello i m under the water please help me

It's...bad lol

It's british received pronounciation, btw

[meager cobalt]

this sounds really good!

the british intonation is there too, i'm not british so i can't exactly tell what should be changed but it sounds really good to me

[boreal falcon]

Really? If it's, I am glad I did good!

Did 'transport' sound good to you?

I have a problem with 'o' in it, I feel like it's not deep enough

[river lance]

Coming from a Brit, you did well and the way you said transport was great!

[boreal falcon]

Many thanks for listening!

[peak void]

damn, that sounds amazing

[boreal falcon]

Hi gus

guys

[river lance]

/tran(t)sˈpôrt/ Good! As a Brit myself, I can say that your accent is decent, and if you were to walk into any public place in, let's say somewhere in southern London, they would accept you, but that depends on their attitude. Have they had their morning cup of tea 🤣 ?

[river lance]

also your O is amazing

[mental scarab]

congratulations!

[boreal falcon]

I mean, that's just reading from a piece of paper, my spontaneous speech is not that great and they will be evaluating spontaneous speaking in my oral exams :P

[lofty cedar]

Hi

[lethal loom]

Just send a recording of you reading some paragraph and send a snippet of you what you read in that recording, or join a VC and talk with others.

[golden summit]

why did you draw on the book with pen you cant even rub it out 😒

people these days🤪

[golden summit]

they spy on you😰

[boreal falcon]

it's a print out

I am not THAT uncivilized to write in books

[golden summit]

idc and yes you are very uncivilized stop writing in books

[boreal falcon]

it's not a book -_-

I printed it

[golden summit]

idk stop writing over text💀

[boreal falcon]

it's my copy, I can do whatever I want with it

[golden summit]

so it is a book liar

💀 💀 💀

[boreal falcon]

lmao

are you joking right now

It's a loose piece of paper

[golden summit]

noooo im beind dead serious

[fast oasis]

Hello I'm David and I want to learn and practice my English

[golden summit]

why did you call it a copy then

🤔

[boreal falcon]

a copy is also a printed piece of text

[golden summit]

no its not💀

[golden summit]

so if your teacher says take out your copy you take out a pice of paper

[boreal falcon]

yes I do

[golden summit]

thats why your grades are so low

😡

[boreal falcon]

are you going to argue with a dictionary

[golden summit]

why not

[boreal falcon]

you are trying to be contrarian and can't stand to be corrected by someone else

[golden summit]

IT DOESNT SAY ITS PAPER

[boreal falcon]

just admit you made a mistake and go

again, a PRINTED text

what do we print stuff on

paper

[golden summit]

a printed text never says on paper

[boreal falcon]

what do you print text on

[golden summit]

it also includes the word copy

[golden summit]

paper from a copy

[boreal falcon]

exactly

a copy is a piece of paper with text on it

do you want a photo of my PRINTED COPY OF PAPER WITH TEXT ON IT to see that it's not a book?

[golden summit]

a copy is alot of pices of paper stuck together its called a copy

[boreal falcon]

words can have many meanings dependent on context

here, it's a print out

[golden summit]

and the context is a copy

[boreal falcon]

do you even know what context means

[golden summit]

no💀

[boreal falcon]

okay, this discussing is fruitless and we are spamming the channel. End point is, I did not write in a book.

[golden summit]

yes you did end of story

[boreal falcon]

so you know better what I did with a piece of paper that I have in my room than me?

again, just admit you were wrong and we can end this bs

[golden summit]

Nah your wrong

I know whats worse for you

Writing on books is to far

I cant believe you turned out to be such a psychopath

I raised you so well😞

How do you pronounce the name "Mahira"?

[lethal loom]

That feels like a person's name. What country?

[hot juniper]

I seriously dont know. I met a girl online, to whom when I asked her name she said she'd only let it out if I promise to send her a recording of me pronouncing it.. So here I am 😅

Although I strongly believe that the name is of the muslim origin

[lethal loom]

Ma-he-ra

[hot juniper]

Thanks! You're a life saver! :D

[lethal loom]

I seriously don't know if that's the right pronunciation without knowing which country, tell me how it goes.

[hot juniper]

She says that is EXACTLY how it's pronounced! Thanks!

Glad to help.

[median radish]

Hello there

if someone is interested, I´d like to know if this pronounciation has any mistake. thank you very much

[pallid garnet]

@cosmic frigate You have good effort but need to improve a lot. There are a lot of words that are unclear. You mix your words together where it is hard to understand. Keep practicing and I am sure you will get better @river lance ( had some good feedback) pay attention to what Leri said too)

I don't vibrate my tongue but I guess it works for you

[pallid garnet]

That was kind of rude of your response when someone took time to listen to your recording and he was probably being polite about your recording. but the advice I gave above should help too

https://voca.ro/1lhWrUCN4lOT

https://www.english-online.at/technology/smart-tv/smart-tv.htm

you guys can have a try. I went ahead and recorded the first three paragraphs

notice how it is read naturally. That's the biggest feedback I can give you guys. The more natural you sound the better you will be 😄

[pulsar dome]

I went ahead and did the fourth paragraph, I think I lost track of what I was saying in one part and it made my pronunciation sound a bit weird, but please tell me how well did I spoke

https://voca.ro/1expdhAOLCln

[pallid garnet]

It’s a good start

Great effort

I do hear where it starts to sound a little odd too

[buoyant cape]

your pronunciation was correct but you are supposed to do the l sound with your tongue straight for the beginning part and bring it to the roof of the mouth to finish the l

[buoyant cape]

your pronunciation is good however you might want to make the warm part a bit more clear at the end as it sounded like wormer

[median radish]

THANK YOU, your comment means a lot to me

[buoyant cape]

Hi all ✌️

[river lance]

can someone judge my accentr

[languid flax]

Genesis 11:1-9 NIV

As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.” But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. The LORD said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.” So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it was called Babel—because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

Second one is also me I just had a stuffy nose

So I sounded like a pumpkin

[hasty tendon]

https://voca.ro/192yffjBKiZR

So this mine voice when i read a book

But my voice very tired because i speak to much today

İ need advice for my accent

So pls judge my accent

İ need American accent but like you can hear its not

[hasty tendon]

Your voice so facinating

[weak tartan]

why do you need an American accent

my English teacher told us that we should all embrace whatever accent we have

[hasty tendon]

İts more easy american accent understand american people and i am go to amerika ( its not going easy 😩)

[hasty tendon]

My teacher dont care

[maiden raptor]

I am also wanting to go USA.When will you planning to go?

[river lance]

@dire meteor can you judge my accent

Llllll

How about how

[languid flax]

Of course that is my voice, why would I post someone else’s?

[languid flax]

Thankies <3

[pallid garnet]

yes exactly unless its an acting audition 😄

[pallid garnet]

You make a great effort and I can tell you are working hard. There is def room for improvement. Where you might ask? There are quite a few areas where it is difficult to make out what you are saying. My advice for you is to keep practicing and I am sure you will improve over time.

[pallid garnet]

About 80% I was convinced you were a native speaker. But there are a few words that give it away that you are very fluent in English and have studied a lot to perfect your accent. Because I am a native speaker of English it is easy for me to tell when someone is NOT a native speaker.. But if you are speaking to non natives it will be easy to fool them :D. Definitely a strong 89/100

[pallid garnet]

I think it is meant to be a compliment

[languid flax]

Yes I know that

https://tenor.com/view/troll-get-trolled-we-do-a-little-trolling-gif-20266975

[harsh oasis]

[harsh oasis]

Hii guys what's up

[wide zenith]

Working on my R's (American pronunciation). The text I read below:

Ray was born in Russia. He dreamed of building the perfect roller coaster at the
Grand Canyon in Arizona. He had a friend named Fred who lived in Norway.
Fred’s profession was designing railroad tracks and his career involved traveling
around the world. Ray thought it would be perfect if Fred designed his roller
coaster ride. Fred was creative, brilliant and worked well with railroad tracks. He
would be the perfect engineer for the project. The ride took two years to construct
and was painted red and white. Everyone really wanted to ride the brand-new
roller coaster

https://voca.ro/19UOSUemtvVm

[celest mortar]

Arizona - Involved, rest of the sentence already good but for this two word it difficult tho for you trying pronunciation it.

Involved - just read Invol don't read the ved
Arizona - eh· ruh · zow · nuh

[shy fulcrum]

Hii

[wide zenith]

Thank you!

[harsh oxide]

Hi, i'm new here but i'd say this is pretty good. In some parts of this audio clip, I wouldn't know that you weren't american. In other parts though, it's clear that you have a mild accent. It's still pretty good though, it's mild enough that I don't have a hard time understanding what you're saying.

Though I might say your words per minute are a bit lower than I'd expect from a native.

Not much lower though.

So pretty good overall.
