At first glance I thought OP picture was beautiful, then I opened the image and realized I was being tricked by the makeup Jew.
>>204753086Is Standard Southern British pronunciation of English perceived better than General American pronunciation of English across the globe or vice versa? Which one should I use if I'm a snob with ugly voice?

Immersion is overrated Input is overrated Output is underrated Pronunciation is underrated

>>204755459they're italianized and filthy. albanians are basically italy's model minority, we've reached a point where you dont know if someone is albanian unless they tell you, they became certified greaseballs. i need one from the wilderness.
>>204755466geomaxxing is a thing u knowchad certainly isnt pulling bitches that are 5000km away

Is there room for improving regarding his accent?Can he pass as an native English speaker? There's an argue.https://m.dcinside.com/board/English/449682
>>204755653Me. You think that traditional women want to date foreigners?
>>204755698duh. treachery is part of the female genetic code.
Ruski-latin anon here>Your accent score: 0.75 Your accent comes from Arabic,Russian,Portuguese,EnglishJesus.... le 0.75% accent I never really liked my natural accent because I never really spoke with a russian/east euro accent and have always wanted to switch to something like Scottish (the same sort of accent Billy Boyd or Count Dankula's gf speak with) because whenever I speak with my natural accent online (in video games or over vc) people instantly start mocking me
>>204755666will preface saying that i dont hear the typical "american" accent that oftenif i wasn't paying attention i'd think he was native, but he pronounces a fair number of words in a strange way"you gotta find what YOUR love", "three stories fer mai laif", "no big diiil", tone of "why did i drop out?" going down which is strange for a question, "udwid" instead of "unwed"
>>204755835You speak like a generic Slav you idiot, there's nothing unique about you. Go learn proper pronunciation or quit babbling.
>>204756168I haven't even posted my vocaroo yet i'm not >>204754779
>>204756249Who the fuck needs your vocaroo you yellow negro? You either have an accent or not. If you have it, it's Russian.
>>204755835What's the website?
>>204756249>>204756299Kiss and make up
>>204756168>>204756299settle down lad, no need for that kind of language
>>204756299>>204756249>>204756168no more brother wars.
>>204756299>Who the fuck needs your vocarooWhoever is interested in accents of other people. I like listening to how people speak, picking up small details, learning interesting phonetic quirks and such. I'm a linguist by trade and by education.>You either have an accent or notEverybody has an accent, there isn't a single person out there without an accent BY DEFINITION. >If you have it, it's Russian.ты cкoзaл?My accent isn't Russian
>>204756321https://linguacoach.appspot.com/accent-test.html
>>204756357>>204756343>>204756340>>204756338Every Russian has to be banned from using Western sites like this. You have to post an ancestry test to be allowed to lurk anywhere and if you have even a percent of Russian or churka blood you ought to be banned from using the Internet. Simple as.
>>204755944But I guess there's no need for improving his accent at this level. I'm not sure about it though. I just want to hear any takes from natives.I think it takes more time to become perfect than it does to reach current level from the bottom
>>204756388I got something like this. How does it work, I don't speak any of these languages?
>>204756630I guess it uses algorithms from a large database of voice recordings of people of different accents reading this line and compares all of those VRs to yours and then tries to match it with the one closest to yours. You don't have to speak any of those languages, your native language just has to be somewhat close phonetically to the ones listed there. And Portuguese is quite close to Russian/Polish phonetics-wise. Moreso to Russian.
>>204756630portuguese is basically polish without czczczcszy
>>204756702Alright, makes sense. Maybe I could have a very good Portuguese or Spanish accent if I ever decide to learn one of those languages.>And Portuguese is quite close to Russian/Polish phonetics-wise.Is Arabic also phonetically close to those languages? I thought it's completely different.
>>204756840>Maybe I could have a very good Portuguese or Spanish accent if I ever decide to learn one of those languages.Italian too, it's actually one of the easiest languages for slavs to get right phonetics-wise>Is Arabic also phonetically close to those languages?Somewhat. There are some phonetical features that are not found/common in Russian/Polish/Portuguese, but overall it's not that hard.
>>204756702My accent tests always place Portuguese at the top
>>204756964I fucked up by choosing french. Maybe I should switch...
>>204757128French is more wide-spread than Italian, but on the other hand Italians are much more friendly to other people learning their language than the French. It all really comes down to your goal you wish to achieve in learning a foreign language. What do you need French for? Could the same be achieved by learning Italian instead? If yes, then you could try switching, if no, then don't.Like if you were learning Mandarin for culture, philosophy, business and women, and then you decided to switch to, say Lao, then I'd say you made a mistake because Lao would never give you the same opportunities as would Mandarin. But if you're just learning languages for the fun of it, then what could stop you from switching to Italian anyways? Also, you don't have to switch completely, any human is capable of learning several languages simultaneously. At least you can safely learn two languages side by side.
>>204757250I wanted to learn a romance language.>Also, you don't have to switch completely, any human is capable of learning several languages simultaneouslyUnfortunately, I am also learning German because I need it for university and work, I don't have enough time to learn 3 languages at the same time.
>>204757374I had my friend test this and all of them got Portuguese. I would say this algorithm is flawed
>>204757498>Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the store: Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and maybe a snack for her brother Bob.I think it's very hard to pronounce in general>Six spoons of fresh snow peasIs it possible to link the sound between 6 and spoons, fresh and snow?>slabs ofThis is also hard for me to pronounce
>>204758055>Is it possible to link the sound between 6 and spoonssickspoons
>>204757498>>204757060I've re-recorded my thing, it gave me a new score and a new set of languages. Yeah, their algorithm is faulty.
I knew about "quatre vingt douze", but Denmark... I kneel.

>>204758828>2+90This inverted shit still trips me up in German, especially when it comes to year numbers. Who the fuck thought this was a good idea??
>>204759268A lot of people who create songs in toki pona are japanese girls for some reason.
Born too late to explore the world to learn newlanguages with giant corpora of texts, philosophy and poetry.Born too early to explore the galaxy and engage in xenolinguistics and learn different ways of communication between extraterrestrial species and how they can be applied to us.Born just in time to grind Anki and graded readers.
I broke the scale and know none of these languages.
>>204760966I guess the more native-like you sound, the higher your score is. I also managed to break it >>204758191
>>204761005Guess that makes sense. I've tried it a few times and I can't get any better than a 1.14, can anyone beat my score?
>>204761438Vocaro plzI just want to get some model answers

>>204765064Your vocal cords make a very East Asian sound. It's not about accent or pronunciation. It's kind of a genetic feature
>>204765620Kek, I am entirely Northern European as far as I knowI am dabbling in Japanese so maybe I should stick with it
Trying go from B1 to B2 in French. What do I do?
>>204766488Have sex with French women.
>>204766488Start smoking.
>>204766488Stop bathing
>>204753086Busuu or Babbel for German? I hate the gamified distractionware style of Busuu but it seems more matured as an app than Babbel, which isn't as obnoxious but also feels quite soulless with the stock imagery as opposed to the videos and other activities in Busuu.
>>204766700The other night I went for a walk, listening to french podcasts and smoking a few cigs. Sad to say it did not seem to boost my comprehension
multitasking...
>>204756388I got arab bengali russian when i used my normal voiceI got arab bengali english when using an affeminate voicekekd
>>204768766This is exactly what I plan to do after I reach a good level in German. Except I already know python. What should I learn instead?
>>204768766Mein Gott, ich liebe Deutsch. Es fühlt göttlich, wenn man solche Texte in einer Fremdsprache versteht.
>>204769772After dabbling in C, python feels like child's play. lol Too many commands to memorize, though. The biggest issue imo, is finding good books. I've downloaded hundreds of books for various programming languages, but most are garbage. >>204770797Stimmt. Es ist kaum zu glauben, dass ich 98% von diesem Buch verstehen kann.
