bad when I write, terrible when I speak it

>>57404867
Imagine a speech impediment caused by hearing impairment and people always trying to guess the accent.
>>
accent makes me pissed, writing/typing are alright.
>>
horrendous
writing and reading as well
>>
>>57404867
My pronunciation and vocabulary are okay, I guess, but I get mad at myself for being painfully unfluent. Every time.
>>
>>57404867
Flawless writing and listening skills, troglodyte levels of speaking.
>>
ITT: no vocaroos and overly self-critical foreigners underestimating Anglophones' tolerance for foreign accents
>>
I'm fluent after some days of use
>>
>>57404867
It's pretty good.

Oh please. Nobody likes listening to amateurs torturing the piano or violin. Everyone wants to hear professionals.
>>
Terrible and tongue twisted. It's somehow much easier when I'm doing a feigned russian, german or french accent.
>>
I'm surprised no one has uploaded a Vocaroo.

Pretty good now. I can even switch from AmE to BrE respectably.

Not horrible, you just need to work on enunciating, even if that means you have to speak somewhat slower.

>mfw Americans can't do this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental,_alveolar_and_postalveolar_trills
>>
>>57407618
the funny thing is, the general american accent makes very heavy use of the alveolar trill but no one realizes it
they just call it "tt" or "dd"
and then they get offended when you suggest they have an accent
>>
>>57407661
well, alveolar tap
not the trill
my bad
>>
>>57407689
Yep, not the same, I'm pretty sure no English dialect has this. It's quite a strange sound t.b.h. Most people with speaking problems here can't into this particular sound.
>>
>>57407740
I can do it, but when I do it sounds... heavy and very unrefined. How unfortunate desu
