Thread: Recordings of myself

Hi Kib,

I took a listen to your Christmas one. As Kidkboom mentioned, your English pronunciation is very good. You are rushing a bit. A couple of words that hit me are:
"was always" those to words together don't come out just right. I can't tell if you are mispronouncing the W in always or if it is something else.
on the words "breakfast" and "everything" it sounds like you are rolled the Rs almost like an Irish would sound
yet on the word "presents" you don't pornounce the R hard enough.

Thank you, rockzmom. This is very helpful. As for my rolling Rs it's very difficult for me not to roll them in some words. If you heard how I pronounce 'through' or something like 'is right'. It's almost impossible for me to avoid rolling. I'll take a note of it and will pronounce correcty and slowly. Thank you again.
