ok so i’m in the us for the year, and a friend here asked me why i can’t make a good american accent yet (he says that while talking in spanish he can make a good spanish accent)

sage glen

#

overdoing mouth movements ( lips, tongue movements ) can also help a lot

easier way is just copy the way they spell the syllables

I'm all for harsh but polite feedback when the person asks for it, but this doesn't sit well with me.
So what if you can't make a perfect R or TH? Life goes on both for you and your "friend". Communication is key. You seem to be doing just fine at that

#

Plus there are implications to choosing a specific accent and no one should make that choice for you.

#

People's opinion literally doesn't matter.
Let me talk about my friend for a minute to illustrate this.
The friend is real but not going to doxx them.
In the span of two weeks, he's had native speakers (usually not from the US and he's learning a US accent) tell him he sounds annoying. Then he's also had a couple of Americans suggest he starts doing voice work professionally... Because these Americans like his voice!

Plus everyone can change their voice up to a point including pitch and accent, so voice identity fluctuates.

Of course you won't get it the first time, shadowing is to speak with or after that youtuber or actors

rapid garnet
#

gotcha

sage glen
#

That's how I did it

#

Anytime!

rapid garnet
#

thank you

sage glen
#

Strengthened my tongue muscles to make those new sounds

queen valley
#

Eh I'm not a huge proponent of shadowing in this case but he can try it. I'm pretty sure he should study the r sound specifically

sage glen
#

He just can't get his tongue in shape

sage glen
#

More stress on the T's brother

rapid garnet
#

my theatre teacher is telling me to put more effort on the consonants too

#

it’s hard for me tho

sage glen
#

You'll get there bro, you just haven't practiced speaking long enough, I was way worse before shadowing

sage glen
#

Great job

rapid garnet
#

pronounciation is my weakness

#

everything else is advanced (listening, vocab, fluency)

sage glen
#

Am I correct?

rapid garnet
#

i had my english classes

#

but my teacher wouldn’t really correct me unless the pronounciation was really far off

#

i’m also correcting the ā€œuhā€ after the words

like i used to pronounce ā€œdogā€ dog-uh, because in italian every word ends in a vowel

sage glen
rapid garnet
#

but that’s all

#

and my teacher wasnt native

#

she was italian

sage glen
#

All I did was personal effort

rapid garnet
#

now i can basically watch a movie in english without subtitles and understand a good 80%>, 90%> with context

sage glen
#

The rest rely on you

rapid garnet
#

i do think the way school teaches you is bad

sage glen
#

Same here

rapid garnet
#

there should be way more listening and reading tests rather than completing the gaps

sage glen
#

True, all they teach us is grammar that I don't remember anything about

#

I copy how others speak and speak like them

rapid garnet
#

like

#

the more i see a structure without understanding its meaning artificially, the more i understand the structure itself

sage glen
#

I don't even know my native lang grammar

#

Yet I can speak it, cause I use it on daily basis

rapid garnet
#

i know mine just because we are forced to study it anyway when we are young (italian grammar is complex)

sage glen
#

So yeah, that's it for me, and hope you get the results you're seeking

"TO SPEAK ABOUT THE MEANING AND VALUE OF LIFE MAY seem more
necessary today (1946) than ever; the question is only whether and
how this is ā€œpossible.ā€ In some respects it is easier today: we can now speak
freely again about so many things—things that are inherently connected
with the problem of the meaningfulness of human existence and its value,
and with human dignity. However, in other respects, it has become more
difficult to speak of meaning, value, and dignity. We must ask ourselves:
Can we still use these words so easily today? Has not the very meaning of
these words become somehow questionable? Have we not seen, in recent
years, too much negative propaganda railing against everything they mean,
or once meant?
The propaganda of these last years was a propaganda against all possible
meaning and against the questionable value of existence itself! In fact, these
years have sought to demonstrate the worthlessness of human life.
Since Kant, European thought has succeeded in making clear statements
about the true dignity of human beings: Kant himself, in the second
formulation of his categorical imperative, said that everything has its value,
but man has his dignity—a human being should never become a means to
an end. But already in the economic system of the last few decades, most
working people had been turned into mere means, degraded to become mere
tools for economic life. It was no longer work that was the means to an end,
a means for life or indeed a food for life—rather it was a man and his life,
his vital energy, his ā€œman power,ā€ that became this means to an end.
And then came the war—the war in which the man and his life were now
even made a means for death."

I will read this to you and you guess

@tulip remnant

#

Ooo that's tough, you pronounce some words like a Brit from the Midlands but I'm not sure like the way you said "football" sounded Southern English

You could've just learnt the English accent though

@delicate zodiac

mystic tusk
#

Any advice on how I can improve with the pronounciation (i.e) "this thing"

#

like when a word ends with "s" end the next one starts with "th"

sage glen
#

After the "s" sound, you need to push your tongue against your closed teeth to make that unvoiced "th"

#

Cause it's hard and inconvenient to rest your tongue between the teeth for the "th" sound in that case

#

Also one of the reasons, I produce the "th" sound putting my tongue against the top teeth

#

As most Americans do. Use YouGlish to see how Americans don't really have their tongues out for the "th"

Do native speakers pronounce words "and" and "an" the same way (like the letter N)? If it's so, do they drop the "an" sound when the words "and" and "an" are connected? E.g. "I need a giraffe and an elephant" is it reads as "I need a giraffe 'N elephant"?

Hello Friends,

I hope you’re all doing well! I wanted to share some tips on improving English pronunciation, which can be quite challenging but also very rewarding. First, it’s essential to listen carefully to native speakers through podcasts, movies, and songs, paying attention to how they pronounce words and the rhythm of their speech. Regular practice is crucial, so try to speak English every day, even if it’s just reading out loud, and consider recording yourself to identify areas for improvement. Simplifying big words by breaking them down into syllables can make them easier to pronounce and help you understand their structure. Focus on difficult sounds, like the ā€˜th’ sound, which might not exist in your native language, and practice these specifically to get more comfortable with them. Utilize pronunciation tools available online, such as dictionaries and apps that provide audio pronunciations, and mimic them. It’s also helpful to choose one accent, like British or American, and stick with it to maintain consistency in your pronunciation. Additionally, learning about stress and intonation in English can help convey meaning more effectively. Remember, improving pronunciation is a journey, and every small step counts. Keep practicing, and don’t be afraid to make mistakes they’re part of the learning process! Best of luck to all of us on this journey to better English pronunciation!

I recommend you read aloud stories on YouTube to improve pronunciation. Try find them as "Learn British through stories e.g for A1 level". Don't remember write your English level, then find your English partner to check your pronunciation.

The most common pronunciations are šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§ COMF-tuh-ble (/ˈkʌmf.tə.bəl/) and šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø COMF-tuh/ter-ble (/ˈkəmf.tə.bəl/ or /ˈkəmf.təɹ.bəl/).

Rarely you might hear šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§ COM-fuh-tuh-ble (/ˈkʌm.fə.tə.bəl/) or šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø COM-fur-tuh-ble (/ˈkəm.fəɹ.tə.bəl/) instead.

You aspirate the consonants and I think that there's no aspiration in french

The difference will be pronouncing
Beach as beech as in prolonging the "e" sound
While with the other word its pronouncing "i" in a quick manner and prolonging the " ch"

Hey there! I'm creating a web app with ai. The idea is that the user pronounces American vowel sounds (just vowels and the American accent for now) and the app tells you the percentage of accuracy. This app is for a school project. I was wondering if native speakers of English from America could help me. I need audio files of 5 minutes for each American English vowel sound (without background noise and just the vowel sound without fillers). For those who what to help me, we can meet for 5 minutes and I can explain to you the 15 to 16 vowel sounds I need since I understand that as native speaker you may not be aware that they exist. I hope you can help me šŸ™‚. It's a school project, by the way.

Hii...I have a doubt regarding a tongue twister which goes "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood".. does the words 'would' and 'wood' sound exactly the same or is there some difference ?

polar tinsel
#

in future, I would suggest googling any words you are unsure of and put ā€˜definition’ next to it in the search bar

#

just tap the audio icon and you can hear how it is pronounced

gloomy wigeon
#

I didn't understand what he meant so I googled it and since they sound exactly the same, I got a little confused

red cliff
#

and my search for pronunciations online seems to agree with me

gloomy wigeon
red cliff
#

the only exception is that there is a weak form of the pronunciation for 'would'

#

where you use the schwa sound for the vowel

#

but when stressed, they sound identical

gloomy wigeon
red cliff
#

I think I pronounced 'woodchuck' awkwardly there, but it's fine

gloomy wigeon
#

They sound the same to me

red cliff
gloomy wigeon
red cliff
#

I did the unstressed 'would' here

gloomy wigeon
#

Yea it sounded a little light

red cliff
#

That's the only difference between the two

#

You would never use the unstressed sound when saying 'wood'

#

Only for 'would'

their pronunciation is fine. Your saying '2/10' is needlessly harsh

They have room for improvement

As do we all

But they could hold a conversation and be understood just fine

It’s the fact hes trying to defend the 2/10, so whats your version of 1/10?. 2/10 should be incomprehensible for which he is not. Anyways this has been totally blown out, but in short there is room for improvement
