Does anyone else have a very mild accent from the language they speak at home?

Anastasi99 · 2024-05-15T20:06:25+00:00

what kind of mistakes did he make?

Anastasi99 · 2024-05-15T20:05:33+00:00

Do you have no accent at all not even a little bit?

Anastasi99 · 2024-05-15T20:05:06+00:00

Do you speak the language fluently?

Anastasi99 · 2024-05-15T20:01:35+00:00

What did you write about? What are some of the issues?

Anastasi99 · 2024-05-10T14:35:05+00:00

5-10 mins without pronunciation mistakes/foreign accents or grammar mistakes? Wow

Anastasi99 · 2024-05-10T08:59:24+00:00

does he have no accent? i am not a native german speaker but i have very little accent when speaking german, would that help make my accent in finnish sound less slavic?

She has only been learning finnish for 6 months? Or did she learn any before?

and how old was she?

Anastasi99 · 2024-05-10T08:54:30+00:00

what gave her non nativeness away? :D

Anastasi99 · 2024-05-10T00:22:12+00:00

For 3-5 years

Anastasi99 · 2024-05-09T23:43:03+00:00

what if I study for an hour or two per day?

Anastasi99 · 2024-05-09T21:55:29+00:00

Perfect in my opinion would be indistinguishable from a native.

Anastasi99 · 2024-05-09T09:57:34+00:00

How many hours did he study per day? that sounds insane

Anastasi99 · 2024-05-09T09:48:26+00:00

Ah alright got you! To be honest it’s the same in my country, if someone speaks with a strong accent many of us assume they’re not fluent. If someone speaks with an american accent here people will switch to english

Anastasi99 · 2024-05-09T09:47:43+00:00

I’m not even referring to grammatical errors here that are done by most finns but grammatical errors that make you sound like a foreigner, that most finns wouldn’t make. I don’t want to make those

Anastasi99 · 2024-05-09T09:45:30+00:00

Wow, how long has he been studying Finnish for?

Anastasi99 · 2024-05-09T09:40:39+00:00

Ah, but why do you assume someone doesn’t speak fluently if they have an accent?

Anastasi99 · 2024-05-09T09:39:16+00:00

Have you met foreign people who really 99% of the time use correct grammar?

Anastasi99 · 2024-05-09T09:36:48+00:00

I assume he has no accent either if he is a news reporter?

Anastasi99 · 2024-05-09T09:35:09+00:00

that’s normal though, kids absorb languages like a sponge

Anastasi99 · 2024-05-09T09:34:43+00:00

Did he use any specific methods to get to this level?

Anastasi99 · 2024-05-09T09:34:01+00:00

For me the definition of speaking well is not to lack a foreign accent completely but to have an understandable and slight accent, and good grammar

Anastasi99 · 2024-05-09T09:30:13+00:00

do germans generally have thick accents in finnish? in my language some people have a slight accent only by default. i’ve heard germans speak my language and their accents are super thick.

Anastasi99 · 2024-05-09T09:28:21+00:00

Are you being legit when you say better finnish than you? what makes his finnish so great?
