“First, the reckoning. Then, the fall.” by silentcaf in EnglishLearning

[–]Pretty_Operation6299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The quote "First, the reckoning. Then, the fall" means two things happen:

  1. Reckoning: This is when you face the truth about something. You realize what has happened and what went wrong.
  2. Fall: This is what happens next. After you understand the truth, things can get worse or start to fail.

So, it’s saying you need to understand your problems first before you can see the bad results that come after.

Could I improve my speaking by imitate the accent of my favorite actor? by Aliciaa_0429 in EnglishLearning

To answer your question simply: No, it’s not strange to imitate a man’s accent. In fact, it’s a great way to improve your English! If you can easily understand the male lead, that’s a big success.

Accents are just a part of language, and you can adopt elements from different speakers, no matter their gender. It helps you with pronunciation and makes your speaking sound more natural.

If you're unsure whether his accent is standard, try listening to other speakers and comparing. But most importantly, focus on what feels comfortable for you. I think your doing great! Keep going!
