stux⚡️Maybe it's the Dutchie in me but I sooo cannot stand how it's normal in American TV shows that everyone says "like" in every freaking sentence 
Like dis, like that, like, like, like 
It sounds so uh.. dumb..
JohnVoltz@stux ok. Part of whats happening: they are using ‘like’ to fill space when they don’t know exactly what to say and partly to keep a rhythm to their speech.
Lots of language and cultures do this.
One helpful way to improve an accent, is to listen to the sound speakers make when pausing. Americans generally say ‘uh.’ French say ‘eh’ or like how ‘eu’ is pronounced. These sounds help show the posture of the mouth, tongue, throat, etc. of native speakers.
Cool huh?
Matilda@johnvoltz @stux Exactly!
