You are welcome into this thread where you are supposed to speak english by voice messages by means of https://vocaroo.com . Or at least feel free to write smt into here in English. The communicaton way is optional but voice messaging is mostly welcome
The accent obsession of local anons is hilarious. Why are you worrying about this? You don't go to America or Britain, you live in Russian city and speak Russian most of the time of your daily life. Maybe you will emigrate to America, but you still spend most of your time in post-Soviet community because of your post-Soviet mentality. If you wanna find a job and get out of post-Soviet crowd, then accent ain't not a thing to master, better sharpen your hard skills, bro. You need a JOB in America, not a perfect accent in English. There are a millions of Americans who are living their best lives without having a perfect accent. But many of you, I should say, MOST of you probably won't go to America. That's harsh reality, bro. So stop spreading accent bullshit at this board and enjoy your life in Russia.
Also I would like to share my thought about learning English in general. Many of you don't know why they should learn English. First of all, you should figure this out and then make a plan to reach your goals. There are many ways of learning a new language but chosing among them depends on what are you gonna do with these language skills. If you won't travel, emigrate or speak with foreigners in your country or via Discord, so you don't have to learn speaking English at the first time. So, in that case, you should concentrate on specific language usage - reading, writing, listening. Then find the best materials created for that specific domain of language learning. For example, there are hundreds of textbooks for learning English reading skills. Read Amazon reviews and download some books to find the best among them. Then learn that specific skill of reading. The same for other skills.
>>760697 >So stop spreading accent bullshit at this board and enjoy your life in Russia. My dude, i am just used to such pronunciation i dont pretend or overplay. Its not my fault that i sound like a native >>760699 >the Pimsleur courses Ive used one for learning French and it was quite helpful. But my english level is higher than the course can suggest so i need something else
>>760703 I didn't listen your recordings, I'm talking about some weird discussions in English learning thread. Some people are obsessed with pronounciation. I'm here not to listen someone trying to 'sound like a native', but to improve my writing skills.
>>760782 I read internet articles, posts on Reddit and X, sometimes books, but I think that I have some kind of ADHD, so I can start reading a book and then after 30-40 minutes drop it because I become interested in something else. Maybe that's normal and I should consider reading many books at the same time. Some people do that. My favorite website for reading is English Wikipedia, I really like it. Also I watch & listen YouTube videos at work.
I don't think that I need a perfect speaking skills in English, because at the moment I don't wanna go to America or travel to other countries. English helps me find new information from the world, but I don't have so much motivation to communicate with native English speakers. Maybe that's silly, because talking and chatting with new people can open new perspectives and give many insights (maybe someone changed his life completely because of his foreign friends) but now I prefer to consume information I'm interested in and not chatting too much with English-speaking people in the Internet. I spend enough time with my Russian friends, so English-speaking Internet for me is more like media or encyclopedia than chat room. Even if I go to places like 4chan or Reddit, I wanna find something interesting, but not to communicate with them. Maybe that sounds strange.
Why learn writing skills then? Because sometimes I wanna learn or find something and it's so specific that it's better ask about it in the post than trying to find information about it. The more precise I will write my request, the better answers I will get from people.
Maybe my punctuation looks very Russian, but I don't know how to fix that. Another thing that I need to improve it's grammar skills. If I'd completely read at least one book in English, maybe both these things become better. If I'd read a grammar textbook, maybe it will be even better. But for now I'm using English to reading and watching only the stuff I wanna to. I have no exams or specific tasks related to English so I haven't enough motivation to improve it and make it more 'standard'.
What do u think about travel to Philippinen? I'm actually really sorry im a A2 so far. I've learned english about 5 months and i didn't have a much experience in school or college.
>>762748 What's the point of traveling to Phillipines? Are you a SEA-nigger? If you want to get better at English you should travel to English-speaking countries, not some SEA-slum.
>>762757 >Are you a SEA-nigger? I don't think so. I want to chill in warm country in Winter. Probably, i would fuck a asian girl and just chill all the time in a beach without russian snowniggers.
>If you want to get better at English you should travel to English-speaking countrie English language is state language in Philippinenes. I guess it will be good if i can improve my english on the vacation. It still better than speak with dvachers. By the way i don't have much money for British or United Nigger State.
>>760701 It's super easy to post on 4chan even now. But I won't tell you because I don't think it's really what you need. Did you also leave youtube and telegram after blockings?
>>764202 Your pronunciation is decent, I can understand you without any strain or effort. Putting aside your grammatical and syntactical errors for now, here are the most glaring mistakes with your pronunciation:
1. You are pronouncing the plural marker as an 's' sound when it should actually be a 'z' sound. That is, "goals" should be pronounced like "goalz". You are making this mistake with every single plural in your recording.
2. You are devoicing word-final consonants. This is a very common trait among Russian speakers because it's how Russian phonology works. But in English it's wrong. For example, you pronounce "have" as something more like "haff" and you pronounce "and" as "ant".
3. You clearly struggle with the dental fricatives (the 'th' sounds). Although this is extremely common among pretty much all foreigners since these sounds don't exist in most languages. Your "with" sounds more like "whizz". Likewise your pronunciation of "another" is wrong.
4. You are getting a lot of vowel sounds slightly wrong. English is known for having a very large inventory of vowel phonemes so this is going to be one of the most challenging things to get right. I can't really be more precise here, all I can tell you is that you're constantly pronouncing the wrong vowels.
>>764241 It`s cuz they struggle with english too much. The language is like a unreachable star in an eternal galaxy. I struggle as well though >>764202 as the creator i state that we have no other area to talk but the here. However it would be great to have one if somebody decides to make
>>764297 I guys it the tryt o create need on this ok wee kendwe. Реальным шизам в смысле кластеру А и их его финалу - шизофреникам другие люди в принципе непонятны, там нет каких-то определенных представлений или ожиданий. В легких более адекватных формах этим и избеганием соц взаимодействий как таковых все ограничивается, в худших случаях да, нпцы-биороботы их преследуют, ну или на что более впечатляющее фантазии хватит.
>>764532 Dumbass which is you is trying to juggle words and meanings but doing it extremely suckingl. I wish you a very liquid ponos so you could drink it as a cocktail
>>764536 your dumb eyes hurt because of cumflows that your husband shoot on your silly face. Go get lost and dont bother me while that one who birthed you (son of crowd) is givin me her head
