Little kids are mildly retarded. We had a speech class for the kids with speech issues. I had no pronounciation issues but thought soldiers and shoulders were homonyms untill I was 5 or 6.

>English vowels: 20
What's the point of considering diphthongs separate phonemes?
>>57434658
Because certain sounds only appear in those diphthongs, like [a] (exclusive to /aj/), and sometimes you have diphthong-monophthong grammatical swapping (like cycle-cyclic)
This suggests the diphthongs in English work as separated units from the monophthongs, unlike most other languages.
>>57431670
The sounds themselves are easy, the bitch is knowing when to use th (think) or dh (that).

I just can't speak it.
I think/make Turkish sentences in my mind and try to speak in English.
>>57431468
Pretty good, unless you count my accent.
I say pacific not specific, accurete not accurate, sin not seen and bin not been.
>>57431468
my accent is pretty good, only problem is that i occassionally stop in the middle of a sentence because i dunno if it's good or not

im pretty good actually. I dont have a american accent though, so it really depends if im speaking to somenone from the united kingdom or USA.

When im alone i can speak it perfectly, no accent whatsoever.
When i actually have to speak English to another human being my brain spaghettis out and i keep stumbling over words. still accent-less though
>>57431468
i sound middle american/irish
>>57431468
My English is very ghood. You unterstant me much well.
I have a horrible accent, but I have a decent vocabulary. Although it's getting better as I'm talking English 50% of the time at work.
I have an accent but no problems communicating for the most part.
>>57431468
Well I live in most southern part of Ontario. I raised speaking english and french. But to top it off my parents work in Michigan and hence did a lot of growing up there as well. So a somewhat eclectic accent. A lot of Canadians hate Windsor cause "you'reee too americannnnn". Fuck off you pricks.
When I talk to people on skype they usually assume I'm American cause the accent carries over. There's tons of generations of southerners in Michigan, a lot from Ten. and Ken.
I dislike the accents I hear in Toronto/Ottawa. It has this superficial quality, just screams bullshit. UGH the Albertan accent is the fucking worst - they have to annunciate their "A"s like - if they are saying Plane... it sounds like PlAAAAYn... Fucking disgusting.
Foreigners who claim to not have an accent are the worst.
You all have accents. Everyone has an accent.
>>57444572
Bullshit. Dutch English is the neutral English accent.
Britbongs cant even pronounce English properly. And Americans sound like taxi drivers and cowboys. That cannot possible be standard English.
>>57431468
Pretty good.
>>57431670
But i had a hello of a hard time learning to pronounce birthday.
Not just the th sound, that's easy enough. It's the thd that sounds so unnatural. This coming from a language in which words like Brčko are common.
>>57431670
it's like pronouncing an f and s at the same time. It's not that bad once you get the hang of it but I still fuck up if a sentence has lots of th and f sounds in it.
>>57444945
>Dutch English is the neutral English accent
Nah, you can find neutral English in some of the smaller less build up parts of the Midlands
>>57445353
Can anybody even understand Midlanders?
Good enough for me to be certified by Cambridge as a proficient speaker.
>>57445407
>Can anybody even understand Midlanders?
They're fairly neutral sounding, not counting Birmingham (which has its own, completely different sounding accent).
You can still tell they're northerners though.
>>57431670
What's so bad about these?
>>57437757
For an english speaker quite hard, especially written because it's a lot harder
for some reason i can speak english better that write it
there are few cases where i have been told that i can speak english almost like a native
i had my a-levels in high-school recently, came back with second lowest grade
mixed feelings
>>57446029
>better that write it
>that
>ch
>tch
I've never seen streamers, international Dutch celebrities, international Dutch businessmen, and what else pronounce those two sounds correctly.
Neither can I.
>>57446889
What's the difference between "ch" and "tch"?

Just meant -tch, actually. My mistake, hard ch as in chat is okay.
Nearly every Dutch/Belgian native Dutch speaker pronounces it as tsj. It's impossible to make, like a Jap with L.

Lol nope
þ = th
Couldn't handle the earrape after that
>>57456546
adding to what the other anon said, sometimes anglo saxons represented a y sort of sound. gear = year, but gar is gar, and dagum is dagum.
also sc is makes a noise like sh in ship. æ is the a in cat
Non Americans, Vocaroo the following:
"World."
>>57431468
Why does English has so many dumb fucking rules?
Its easy itself but you fucking complicated it for no reason.
Like for example in the use of "that" some times you use it some times you don't, when you could or remove it or add it and nothing would change.
Also the use of "to" and "for" it doesn't have fucking sense.
But whatever I think you Anglos would have much more troubles learning Spanish than us learning English.

no juan jose, espanol es muy facil para hombres inteligente y pendejos
y mexico y naciones latino otro son 99% pendejos tambien

>>57461290
It didn't make any sense, and even if it did it would only be low class Mexican spanish, not real spanish,
>>57461369
no shit, but the point is it's quite easy
English has pronouns that fuck you up, but spanish only has conjugation which is an easy pattern to remember
>>57431468
quite bad
I am literally Borat-tier.
>>57461414
Spanish orthography is fucked up, you made a lot of mistakes, the same with grammar. It's not as easy as you seem to think.
>>57461267
>español es fácil.
Then why did you write it like a retard?
>>57461462
cause my keyboard doesn't have spic keys
>>57461460
but you don't need to worry about word order and often the spelling is phonetically spot on unlike english
>>57446934
ch(eh)
[vowel]t'ch(eh)
>>57461500
It's easy to read because it is a phonetic language, I agree, but that's about it.
>>57461267
>no juan jose, spanish is very easy for intelligent men and assholes and mexico and nations latino other are 99% assholes too
>>57461578
should have put a tambien after the pendejos
it was supposed to be "intelligent men and dumbasses alike"
