Beware of heard, a dreadful word
That looks like beard and sounds like bird.
And dead, it's said like bed, not bead
For goodness' sake don't call it 'deed'!
Watch out for meat and great and threat
(they rhyme with suite and straight and debt).

"No, it is impossible; it is impossible to convey the life-sensation of any given epoch of one’s existence—that which makes its truth, its meaning—its subtle and penetrating essence. It is impossible. We live, as we dream—alone."

From Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad

"Normofroci schifosi fuori dal filo"

Part 2 of this poem:

A moth is not a moth in mother,
Nor both in bother, broth, or brother,
And here is not a match for there,
Nor dear and fear for bear and pear,
And then there's doze and rose and loseJust
look them up- and goose and choose,
And cork and work and card and ward
And font and front and word and sword,
And do and go and thwart and cartCome,
I've hardly made a start!

don't be rude

REQUEST:

Shortly following the blessed attack on a sodomite, Crusader nightclub by the mujahid Omar Mateen,
American politicians were quick to jump into the spotlight and denounce the shooting,
declaring it a hate crime, an act of terrorism, and an act of senseless violence.
A hate crime? Yes. Muslims undoubtedly hate liberalist sodomites,
as does anyone else with any shred of their fitrah (FIT-RUH) still intact.
An act of terrorism? Most definitely. Muslims have been commanded to terrorize the disbelieving enemies of Allah.
But an act of senseless violence?
One would think that the average Westerner, by now, would have abandoned the tired claim that the actions of the mujahidin – who have repeatedly stated their goals, intentions, and motivations – don’t make sense.
Unless you truly – and naively – believe that the crimes of the West against Islam and the Muslims,
whether insulting the Prophet (peace be upon him), burning the Quran, or waging war against the Caliphate, won’t prompt brutal retaliation from the mujahidin,
you know full well that the likes of the attacks carried out by Omar Mateen, Larossi Aballa, and many others before and after them in revenge for Islam and the Muslims make complete sense.
The only thing senseless would be for there to be no violent, fierce retaliation in the first place!

>my gf:
I began to have fantasies of becoming very powerful and stopping everyone from having sex. I wanted to take their sex away from them, just like they took it away from me. I saw sex as an evil and barbaric act, all because I was unable to have it. This was the major turning point. My anger made me stronger inside. This was when I formed my ideas that sex should be outlawed. It is the only way to make the world a fair and just place. If I can’t have it, I will destroy it. That’s the conclusion I came to, right then and there.

Good on you, that was solid.

Correct.

Only the "If I can't have it, I will destroy it" sounded off, like you rushed through it.

Requesting more Italian

I am the very model of a modern Major-General
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order ccategorical
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical
About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse

I'm very good at integral and differential calculus
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a modern Major-General

I know our mythic history, King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's
I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous

I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies
I know the croaking chorus from the Frogs of Aristophanes
Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard the music's din afore
And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore

Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform
And tell you ev'ry detail of Caractacus's uniform
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a modern Major-General

In fact, when I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin
When such affairs as sorties and surprises I'm more wary at
And when I know precisely what is meant by "commissariat"

When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery
In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy
You'll say a better Major-General had never sat a gee

For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury
Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a modern Major-General

This is a pretty famous song from the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta "The Pirates of Penzance." It's meant to be sung at a very fast pace. This should be a true test of your English-speaking ability.

Expert mode: Say it as fast as you can.

any tips to improve the acccent?

mimic method.
Find a english singer you like or a show you like and try to match the pitch and rythm of your voice to that one. Just keep going until you see improvements. It will take time but not too much. Also, you hold the vowels like you speak spanish. Make them shorter.
