To this day, I can't pronounce the word "February". I always say febyoo-ary.
I can say "Feb", "Brew" or "Brewery" just fine, but not "February". It's the damndest thing.

I can't say Massachusetts.
It always comes out as mass-a-chooses
>>59984969
Łódź sounds NOTHING like loch. It's more like "wooch".
And Poles can pronounce Loch just fine, better than most non-Scots.

Mâches ta chaussette.
>>59981657
See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niW9BVUcMfY
It's nasal like the vowel in "bon", but a diphthong.
>>59986888
What's the most difficult word, then?
>>59986687
Same goes for Kosovo :^)
>>59986883
>Roo
Nope.
Say "ree".
Say "roo". See how the tongue position is different, and how your lips are now rounded.
For "rue", put the tongue on the same position as "ree", but the lips rounded like "roo".
(If you know German: pronounce it as rü)
>>59986786
"Rryou", right? Sorta like how that Japs say "ryu".

I try not to say "else" because an ex girlfriend pointed out I say "eltse"
Dumb cunt knew how self conscious I was.
>>59987170
Yes, it is. They'll have problems with the vowel, just like in "rue"... and then force the N like they were saying oene.
>>59987224
>I try not to say "else" because an ex girlfriend pointed out I say "eltse"
I do this too, and someone only pointed it out to be recently when we were talking about what rhymes with "welts".

Do you have the German or French "u" song in Brazalian Portuguese?
Sure is literally impossible to pronounce. Same goes with lots of other english words containing r
>>59981513
No one can pronounce that.
>>59987527
"Sure" sounds the same as "shore" in britbong English, try that if it's easier.
>>59987359
Close on the first one "Suthingtun"; second is "Stone-ingtun".

>I'm a lifelong rodentophile
>>59987770
Where did that come from?
>>59987751
I find it harder to pronounce "gr" in standard german (no rolled r) than "Eichhörnchen"
Why Murricans don't vocaroo it? Are they afraid?
>Eichhörnchen = calibrated croissant
>squirrel
>>59987401
Non, mais j'ai étudié les deux.
>>59987170
Ain.
>>59987833
>(no rolled r)
My dialect doesnt know an "r" that isnt rolled. To not roll an r is basically impossible for my people.
Other things I cant do:
-"p" Gets replaced by b
-"k" Usually replaced by g
-"t" Always replaced by d
>>59987973
And how do you speak standard german? Don't they think you are weird for rolling the "r" or is it usual?
>>59987973
Hob wia ein boarrrrrrisch hia?
>>59988024
In the south/Bavaria nobody laughs about an accent. Everyone speaks one and theyre very useful to identify where exactly someone is coming from.
The north Germans are inferior and so nobody cares what they think. Actually we will speak extra thick dialects to mock them.
>>59985509
Normal people pronounce it just fine as Fe-bru-airy.

Fränggisch/Boarische Grense
>>59980305
Americans sometimes can't pronounce really easy words
the left is the word, the right is their pronounciation written in Japanese alphabet
karaoke: Kea ri ou ki
ukulele: yuka lei li / yuka lei lei
they can't pronounce 'e' on the end of the words.
tatami: tataami
obasan, obaasan, oobasan: the same
kite, kiite, kitte: kidei
they can't tell long vowels from short vowels, long consonants from short consonants.
and can't tell t from d sometimes

>>59988287
>Fränggisch/Boarische
Nice. I assume somewhere around Nümberg, right?
The p/t/k > b/d/g shift you mentioned makes it quite obvious...
Another two things I've noticed you guys use a lot in your pronunciation: ending R is more open and the A in certain words sounds more like O.
>>59988435
>Nice. I assume somewhere around Nümberg, right?
A bit north east of it
>>59988375
ok
I can't pronounce the english R. Always end up either not pronouncing it at all or putting an awkward w. Every native speaker tries to teach me, none of them ever succeeded.
>>59988546
Have you ever considered being non rhotic like most english speakers?
>>59988375
There's nothing wrong keeping the dialect / local language, as long as you speak the standard too.
>>59988289
Japan is the worst about pronouncing words from any language. You've no grounds to complain.
I'd love to hear you try to pronounce the word "relentlessly", "probably", "dollar", pretty much anything with L's and/or R's.
>>59988593
Yes, but in some words it's always pronounced and I mess those up. My tongue can't do it. Red -> Wthed? Squirrel --> Squwiwwl
Who else here /squirrel owner/?

>>59988289
>they can't pronounce 'e' on the end of the words.
It isn't like they can't... it's just that they see the transliterated word, assume "ah, ending E is mute, just like English, right?" and skip it.
>>59988811
Everybody is a pot and a kettle in this regard...
>>59988686
And those fucking consonant clusters English loves. (Portuguese speakers are also damn bad pronouncing those)
>>59987063
no its massa-choo-sits
>>59988289
ukulele is supposed to be pronounced with a -li at the end though
>>59988952
True, since we all learn different vocals and sounds. On the other hand, Anglos and japs strike me as especially lazy when it comes to pronounciation.
>>59980305
They can, if you tell it's just like sqerl. Your language just doesn't make much sense when it comes to pronunciation.
>>59987004
>>59987114
no, you gotta get a good gutteral sound on the "r". kinda like when a frenchman is in the middle of swallowing a load from his muslim friend
>>59981578
what the fuck are you saying, those are just two vowels
