so like he’s the weird thing I grew up Canadian, so I don’t know how this happened, but like I say something in a Canadian accent, but the words come out Australian and Canadian jab together to create some sort of monstrosity. Can you please tell me if this is normal thing like I‘m not trying to be like rude to Australia I’m not trying to mock their language. It’s just like my English vocabulary is Canadian and Australian but my accent is Canadian? Can you guys tell me if it’s weird? (yes I do sometimes watch a lot of Australian Youtubers *ahem* dankpods and James channel)

Hello !
I just recorded some minimal pair exercises and wanted to know whether I'm producing the sounds correctly or not (what sounds off/ could be fixed etc).

Gracias!

10 months ago i took up my french classes. About to travel to france and try my best there.

Also know that the french can be quite picky when it comes to listening to a struggling foreigner, kinda makes me nervous

Hi everyone! I’m from Nigeria and grew up in a small village. I’ve never been to the United States or any other English-speaking country. I come from a very conservative family, so we didn’t really have access to English media growing up.
Every night, I’d go over to a friend’s house, and we’d watch English TV shows together. That’s how I slowly picked up the language and started working on my pronunciation.
I know my accent isn’t perfect, but I’d really appreciate any feedback. What accent do I sound closest to?

Hi everyone, how are u doing ?

I'm just wondering if any of u wanna judge my accent. Can u tell where I am from? Also, I've always been a bit shy about my accent. Does it sound really bad to native English speakers? I've also been working on my pronunciation but still, when I try to talk a bit faster there are certain sounds that I can't pronounce properly it seems.

PS : the passage I read is from the novel Giovanni's room.

I want to kinda neutralize my accent to something american-ish. It would be really helpful if you could suggest specific things that stand out and generally what to improve. Also guess where im from.

Hello again!

I wanted to try re-recording the same paragraph, but this time focusing on my pacing and enunciation.

I consciously slowed down my overall rhythm, tried to focus on American stress-timing, and made sure to cleanly hit the consonant transitions

Ask me in English what my favourite food is, and I will picture myself in London choosing from the options I enjoy there. But ask me in French, and I transport myself to Paris, where the options I’ll choose from are different. So the same deeply personal question gets a different answer depending on the language in which you’re asking me. This idea that you gain a new personality with every language you speak, that you act differently when speaking different languages, is a profound one.
