for those who have a more than decent level of english, what are some words that your countrymen can't pronounce properly?
people from my country tend to think they are good at english but they misspronounce pretty much everything.
>blood pronounced as blued >look pronounced as luke >shit pronounced as sheet >this pronounced as these >john pronounced as sean/shaun/shawn (they say Sean Lennon which is annoying)
those are a few examples. I might be just picky since they're speaking a second language, but so am I. it's so fucking annoying. cat unrelated.
Underated thread There isn't really much with specific words But it's a bit hard for us to pronounce the letter P
Easton Sanchez
>the letter P
wat
I mean I would understand other consonants, but P is pretty much the same all over the world.
Jacob Young
We pronounce it B for some reason Even the christians say Beter not Peter Though most of us stop this habbit when specking forighn languages on a daily basis
Nicholas Ortiz
Niggers here can't pronounce 'world'
Aiden Allen
We tend to have problems with the English "W/V" and "J" sounds.
Jaxson Ward
the letter R is difficult for a lot of Finns since it's always rolled in Finnish. I personally have trouble pronouncing English words with silent letters.
Cameron Wood
This only applies to me i don't know about others, but i started speaking american English, and now i'm studying British English so i have a hard time using the Schwa and removing R and the accent in general.
Josiah Kelly
>W/V those sounds really arent that related
Grayson Jones
As a native speaker, literally nothing about this bothers me. I'm "deaf" to it 99% of the time other than noticing it's a non-native speaker. We have a lot of accents here though.
Benis :D
Grayson Hernandez
Which is one of the reasons for why we have problems with them. We don't use "W" at all in our language and your "V" is pronounced differently from our "V".
Josiah Hernandez
Have you ever heard a scot or an aussie speack. Most of english speacker do not pronounce english properly. Btw i'm the fucking stereotype of a french speaking english, it's hardly understable
Cameron Baker
what is to you the most annoying accent ?
Noah Watson
but W is just a glorified U that sometimes sounds as a consonant.
David Richardson
Bostonians aren't understandable in general
Leo Campbell
>look pronounced as luke That's the correct pronunciation >this pronounced as these Both words sound the same
Matthew Wilson
dunno. of the native speakers probably the australian/new zealand accent. have nothing against those lads but it really grates on me. that or the "omg xD" valley girl burger accent. or scots.
Julian Watson
see that's where you're wrong kiddo
Jonathan Collins
>Great Britain Stopped reading there
Nicholas Jenkins
>your "V" is pronounced differently from our "V" that's not a pronunciation problem, you just cant read
Angel Ramirez
>sean/shaun/shawn
enlighten me
Lincoln Lee
He's right you know
Jose Jenkins
sure. anybody who names their kid shaun or shawn should be gassed. no difference in pronounciation though.
Luke Bailey
are sean and john pronounced different? if the answer is no, which one is the correct spelling?
Christian Robinson
yes they are pronounced quite different, but I realise you don't really have our "J" sound.
youtube it if you want to hear
Colton Perez
shahn shohn shoaun (french au)
they are basically the same but this is how l differentiatie them
All consonants are pronounced very bluntly. Words with th/r are a dead giveaway. >zis/zat instead of proper th sound >Rasha with a rolled r >ah sound instead of ɑ in every word >soft consonants when they shouldn't be and vice versa
Nolan Moore
I'm OP. you're pronouncing wrong those words, like my fellow countrymen. and you are being smug about it as if you were right, like my fellow countrymen.
I don't want to insult you, but I think you deserve a "retard" for being wrong, smug and stubborn.
Joseph Brown
they actually do sound kind of similar I suppose. can see the confusion. pronounciation in english for john is less of an "jaan" sound and more of a "john"
Connor Lopez
General fucked up speech pattern/intonation like the french
