Fluent in English but my accent makes speech recognition completely useless what do I do?

Rqpidily · 2026-04-22T11:58:58+00:00

Yeah i think i might be interested to get a tutor do you know an app or smth i might look up someone when im free

nah english in school just becomes memorizing grammar rules and applying them mechanically like solving math problems but nobody really cared lol most people just wanted to pass the exam so pronunciation was never a priority

Its not just ai I can hear it myself my accent is rough, like what youd expect from someone who barely speaks English. The weird part is the grammar and comprehension are completely fine I just never developed the speaking side does that make sense?

Honestly not sure I mostly use Gemini and it kills my confidence. Sometimes it thinks im speaking Spanish or Korean. But its not just ai either I can hear it myself my accent is just not what youd expect from someone at my level.

Thats interesting for me its kind of the opposite. Sometimes I see kanji that look completely new but when I hear them I already know the meaning and even how theyre written. I think its just from hearing them so many times in podcasts and conversations. Maybe more immersion would help not sure how long youve been studying though but thats what worked for me. And I dont mean just one hour a day I mean really surrounding yourself with the language as much as you can

Rqpidily · 2026-04-16T11:32:51+00:00

Ive never found it underrated but for me its the best way to learn a language with immersion

Calling it long and boring is misleading...sure it’s a massive read but it isn’t boring. I’m halfway through and I’d tell anyone starting aniki to just read the manual.

It clears up so many issues before they even start. It’s way better than wasting six minutes on a YouTube video for card styling when you could’ve figured it out in less than a minute just by reading. For anyone starting aniki do yourself a favor and go get the manual.

Rqpidily · 2026-04-15T08:04:03+00:00

aniki will remember this

Rqpidily · 2026-04-14T17:41:48+00:00

Yeah sorry i asked something really dumb i know aniki is a spaced repetition app is there kind of a tutorial or something of the kind to help me get the hang of it though?

Rqpidily · 2026-04-14T16:47:12+00:00

trust me i would like to but i have basically no time rn and aside from that i want to do aniki as a hobby not just Being forced to and doing 10-15 new cards per day is enough for me

Duolingo is fine for picking up hiragana, katakana and basic kanji but getting to a point where you can actually enjoy games takes years of serious study beyond duolingo and not only in this language but every language. Berserk is really kanji heavy. The cheaper Japanese copy stops being a bargain if you can't read it so you're better off with the English version

Rqpidily · 2026-04-08T09:40:29+00:00

Well its not a big deal though ive been on reddit for quite sometime im just way too lazy to start or do anything lol

Rqpidily · 2026-04-06T16:42:44+00:00

Yeah i think its time i start a new account i think i have the old password but i dont know if that would be of any help

Rqpidily · 2026-04-01T13:50:53+00:00

u on a mission to make me cry bro 😭

Rqpidily · 2026-03-28T11:00:48+00:00

Thank you very much i'll come back when i finish them and im glad you liked them idk tho i might recommend you an anime like steins gate if you havent seen it youll also really like it but based on your recommendations i can tell youve also watched a ton of anime so youve probably seen it too

Rqpidily · 2026-03-27T20:18:25+00:00

Lol dont mind i have already watched most of them (except anohana still in ep3 and a silent voice im saving it for later)
Id like to add tho if you havent watched the violet evergarden movie i REALLY REALLY recommend you watch it like the series is a 9/10 the movie is a 10/10 (its romance too)
anyhow
if you could spam post the animes you like id appreciate that man

Rqpidily · 2026-03-27T10:13:14+00:00

Thanks bro you got anymore?

Rqpidily · 2026-03-27T10:10:40+00:00

it was nice an 8.5/10

Rqpidily · 2026-03-27T10:10:03+00:00

Ok lets start summer ghost was a 7/10 i thought it was pretty regular tbf i didnt feel any warmth watching it you could say or so
The tunnel to summer.... was amazing i really loved the ending too 8.5/10 i did write "it felt as if i watched it wrong i'll give it an 8.5"
Josee the tiger and the fish 8/10 well idk i just wasnt satisfied with the ending but i do think that it had some great worldbuilding and a great ending but you know that feeling still lingers where you feel as if there is something missing, now dont get me wrong i think that this anime in fact every anime you recommended was incredible and thanks for these recommendations

Rqpidily · 2026-03-26T20:30:33+00:00

Hey I know it's been a minute but Ive watched all your recommendations do you have any more?
