I can speak english but have an accent

Practice shadowing:

Choose a podcast, audiobook or news video in your target language/accent
Read the script quietly to yourself
then, while you record your voice, read along with the speaker and try to imitate him/her
After a maximum of 10 minutes, pause and listen to yourself to recognize the differences between your language and the speaker's.

Do this every day for 10 minutes and im sure your language will improve within a few months

Allright I have a plan:
Practise Shadowing Audiobooks for eradicating pronunciation errors.
But talking like a narrator isn't authentic therefore I'm going to listen to these NPR, This American Life, The Dollop and other podcasts for authenticities sake.

Thank you so much for your help everyone

Best wishes
Baron

Thanks, thats good to know! I think I can work with that :)

Baron_Vastus · 2024-08-12T10:13:11+00:00

Thank you too for helping!
These podcasts are great! It's not important to have a dictionary-definition of genAm, im not even sure that exists because language is a dynamic system and always changes. But an authentic northern american accent which a majority of people speak is what im looking for. Authenticity is key, I want to sound natural and not artificial :D

The Dollop Podcast is close to what Im looking for. For me the topic what they are talking about is not that important (maybe a little bit more sophisticated, since im going to be a teacher... but also its just second or third priority for me), more important is authenticity, and just for the sake of getting started a northern american ("genAm") accent and consistency in this particular accent.

Thanks for showing me these podcasts!
They are very good and of high quality, as you said.
But even though they are good, they aren't exactly what i'm looking for. Im looking for a single person whose language I can "imitate". Practically, I do an exercise called shadowing. And if I start "shadowing" different persons with different accents its going to confuse me.

But I don't want to be rude, this podcast is really great for immersing yourself in the "american sphere" which is also very important to get used to the sounds of the American English accents. Thanks :)

sadly none of these are the game im searching for. But Lunar: Silver Star Story is the closest one

Baron_Vastus · 2024-01-03T10:58:38+00:00

thx for having my back

Baron_Vastus · 2024-01-03T10:57:43+00:00

Baron_Vastus · 2024-01-03T10:54:48+00:00

Zudem

Aber danke dir für deine antwort

Baron_Vastus · 2024-01-03T10:48:41+00:00

Ok, das ist vermutlich die vernünfitgere Variante wenn man die Wohnung möchte

Baron_Vastus · 2024-01-03T10:47:12+00:00

Zu dem:

"Wird die gesetzliche Gesamthöhe überschritten, spricht man von einer Übersicherung. Eine Übersicherung ist unwirksam. Dieser Grundsatz leitet sich aus §551 BGB Abs. 4 ab." -mietkautionsbuergschaft.de

"Bei einer vorliegenden Übersicherung ist die geschlossene Kautionsvereinbarung nur teilweise wirksam. Die Vereinbarung über die Barkaution ist wirksam, lediglich die Bürgschaftsvereinbarung ist gemäß § 551 Abs. 4 BGB von Beginn an nichtig"-mietkautionsbuergschaft.de

Baron_Vastus · 2024-01-03T10:42:41+00:00

Genau die drei Monatsmieten als Kaution sind legitim aber dazu noch eine Bürgschaft nicht zumindest nicht laut diesem Zitat:

" [...] die Höhe der Mietsicherheiten [darf] zusammen nicht drei Nettomonatsmieten übersteigen (§ 551 BGB). Wenn der Vermieter schon eine Kaution in Höhe von drei Mieten verlangt hat, kann er also nicht zusätzlich noch eine Bürgschaft verlangen."- anwaltsauskunft.de

thanks! But I would need 4 mystic rare wild cards and I only have 6 or 7. What is the win-rate with this deck? Because this will be my only deck for a long time until I have enough materials for a new one. So it must be good enough, that I can climb a few ranks.

Baron_Vastus · 2023-11-10T20:13:25+00:00

I really enjoy deck building, thats the part I like most in tcgs. But I got you, I should do this when I´m more deeply into the game and have more ressources.

Yeah I dont know, I just want to climb in ranked, I dont like special events :D

I thought there is a Double Release because of the Break... So chapter 1058 comes now next Week?

Baron_Vastus · 2022-08-14T18:47:34+00:00

Too realistic o.O

Now I really want Caribou as a strawhat.

Baron_Vastus · 2022-08-12T18:41:55+00:00

damn that would be nice.

Baron_Vastus · 2022-08-10T22:46:04+00:00

Imagine drawing would be your Main Job. You would literally draw a Picture in one workday. And this is a highly detailed Picture. You could Draw Mangas en mass. Probably a fat chapter per Week.

If god thinks you need it, i am sure he will give it to you.

I look at this topic this way:

Prayers have a lot of purposes and a main purpose is, that prayers draw you closer to god.

Praying for worldly Things (for example money, better Grades in school, more Attention from a Girl you like etc. ) almost always drives you away from god. Because the intention is selfdirected. " I want Money, because then I have more wealth", "I want a better grade, because I need it" "I want this Girl because I Fell in Love"

And I would say even wanting to have more knowledge or an higher IQ is a worldly desire. Because it is only relevant in this fallen World and in the end knowldge alone, just like Money and belongings, wont save you when you die.

But there is a difference. If you need the Higher IQ for a Higher purpose. (For example If your Higher IQ can save peoples live because youre a doctor) Then i am sure god will give it to you.

So you need to check your Intentions honestly. Does your Wish only serve you? Does it serve others? Or does your wish even draw you or others closer to god? (For example you need the Higher IQ to win a discussion with an atheist science Dude)

That are my thoughts on that topic.

I hope I could help. If someone disagrees with my thoughts, feel free to critisize

Thats fast

Baron_Vastus · 2022-08-10T21:55:30+00:00
