No /voc/ thread today? I'll fix that!
In this thread we practise languages, rate others' attempts, banter with Irish people, chat, sing songs and play instruments, and basically anything else you wanna waste Vocaroo's bandwidth on.
>Obligatory English text to start, but please post other languages, and more difficult English texts, because that's the only way these threads get interesting!
"Though Brunel's projects were not always successful, they often contained innovative solutions to long-standing engineering problems. During his short career, Brunel achieved many engineering "firsts", including assisting in the building of the first tunnel under a navigable river and development of SS Great Britain, the first propeller-driven ocean-going iron ship, which was at the time (1843) also the largest ship ever built."

Díky implantátu může opět hýbat rukama. I když je ochrnutý
Američan Ian Burkhart už několik let nemůže hýbat rukama ani nohama, ochrnul po nehodě. Vědci mu však do mozku implantovali speciální zařízení, díky kterému si nyní dokonce může zahrát i na kytaru. Unikátní vynález by mohl jednou pomoci i dalším postiženým.

In "propeller" the stress should be on "pell" whereas you put it on the first syllable.
Also the well you said "Brunel" sounded like "Bruno."
>>57985961
The way you said "and development of the" was too fast for me to understand. 1843 = Eighteen forty-three. Also Brunel:

If they do, it's because they're retards. Your accent is quite clear.
>I was thinking of going to Ireland to work for a few years (am a programmer) so I've been kinda working on my pronunciation (just recently learned how to pronounce th correctly)
Irish people don't even use the th sound we just use a normal t for most words (thirty-three and a third just sounds like "tirty-tree and a tird").
I think I've spoken to you before though. That, or there are a lot of Croatian programmers who want to move here.

(True story - that should be enough to get to hear your Swedish.)
>>57990763
> So I wouldn't have any trouble with anglos understanding me?
Not at all. People live, work, and go to school in America with far worse accents. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if most immigrants don't even try to improve their pronunciation. SJWs convinced them that their accents are "a part of their identities".
> Do you want me to post something to say in Croatian?
Ya. I guess you already did that already though. Though you can post more if you want to; I have nothing better to do.

Based purely on my accent what country would you think I was from?
I know I'll never ever be native tier in accent (especiall since my own native one is quite different in pronunciation) but I always wonder what first impressions native english speakers would get.
anyway both of you guys did well on the pronunciation (it's easy when you can roll your r's)
the only issue is the syllable stress, the first syllable is almost always the one that's stressed in croatian
also lj is actually a single phoneme (and a letter of our alphabet) it's pronounced like li in battalion
>>57991009
I gave you the most consonant heavy words because baka gaijins have most trouble with those.
Croatian spelling is actually extremely easy to learn, there are no silent letters, everything is pronounced as is it is written.
>>57982098

Want to try some much more normal words? Here's a paragraph.
>Postoji veliki broj raznih pasmina domaćih mačaka, rasnih i običnih, ali postoje i bezrepe ili bezdlake mačke, zbog mutacije. Naziv domaća mačka koristi se za sve mačke koje manje-više "dobrovoljno" žive u direktnom kontaktu s ljudima i smatra se da su se svojevoljno pripitomile jer su u blizini ljudskih nastambi lako dolazile do plijena
š = sh in shoe
č = tch in watch but harder (tip of the tongue should touch your mouth)
ć = like č but softer (you don't touch with the tip of the tongue bot more with the upper middle)

Many thanks. Would you believe me if I told you I lived in Canada for almost a year? Also Finland Swedes tend to have notably different accents when they speak English from Finns, so perhaps that helps too.
Irish guy yours was quite good. Your "ja" sounds need to be a bit more "ah" sounding. Otherwise if you want to go for an uber faggoty Stockholm Swedish accent then I'd recommend listening to how they talk on youtube and whatnot.

You did great everything was pronounced correctly but you stress the wrong syllables and there's no flow (it's like you're reading a list of words)
You seem to have a bit of trouble with lj's.

I'm always confused as to how to pronounce L in different Slavic languages. The ones that I know specifically are the hard L and soft L in Russian, and the Polish L which is somewhere in between those. I think the English L in between the Polish L and the Russian hard L.
The stress sounded really unnaturally to me as I was reading it, but I was trying to stress the first syllable, like you said here >>57991299
Normally I would have defaulted to the second to last syllable, that's how it is in Polish.
>>57993137
Relistening it now the stress actually is OK it's the lack of flow that made it sound unnatural.
The syllable stress can depend a lot on your dialect in Croatian, in standard the first syllable is usually the one that's stressed.
Our L's are like slightly harder English L's I think. I don't change my L's when I talk in English.

Many of the words are similar in pronunciation, and they are stressed like this
