Hiroko YamaguchiI really want to connect with the world.
My goal is to connect with the world.
I wanna build connections globally.
But I am struggling to improve my ENglish.
So, I am starting a project that I post simple English messages little by little and read them in my voice.
(Review)
I couldn't pronounce the "R" sound in words like "Really" properly, which messed up the rhythm. It was a mess.
I wanted to pronounce "But" more softly and casually, but I couldn't do it.
The long sentences at the end were tough.
I'm generally bothered by the Japanese-style vowels and intonation.
Brath@LimurianHiro yes, your "R" is a bit off, but only in the words starting with the letter. In the word "struggling" for example, it sounded fine. In reverse the "R" sound in Japanese "ra", "ri", "re", "ru", "ro" is really hard to get the right roll on when coming from English (or Danish as in my case).
@LimurianHiro seems like a really good way to practice. I have been seeing a lot of travel videos about japan since I am planning a trip there in a couple of years and your English pronunciation isn't that much worse than many of the locals interviewed in those videos. I had no problem understanding what you said in your video. It sure is better than my pronunciation of the few Japanese words I know.
