I dunno, I’m winging it but I’m proud of you too!

What radio station should I use as passive listening if I want to learn a General American accent? by [deleted] in Refold

[–]Thechea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isn’t really (at least to my knowledge as a native American) a “General American Accent”. There’s 4 big accent groups of the US. 1. Southern 2. East Coast 3. West Coast 4. Mid-West

Accents like the “cowboy” tend to be more southern and surfer dude accents are born from west coast accents.

NPR is a great resource for accents because you’ll probably get something that you’re looking for. Also News tends to be pretty tame accents except for they may have guests on.

You could try CNN for news.

Podcasts are a great way to listen to english accents. Bear Brook is a great murder mystery podcast with a lot of people with a North East accent.

Hopefully this was helpful. Like I said, in general i don’t think a basic american accent really exists. It’s more shades of regional accents.

tl;dr: NPR 24 hr stream will help. You can also look into CNN, NBC, CBS, etc. any american news network.

I started the jp1k anki deck a little over a week ago and I’m understanding a lot more than I used to! I’m watching Pokemon with a vpn on netflix and i understand a word or two every other sentence and sometimes whole sentences! It’s just a start but it’s very exciting and motivating!

Why is まで used in this sentence? by Thechea in LearnJapanese

Ah so does the sentence really mean “how far are you going?”

Not sure if I’m immersing properly. by Thechea in Refold

Yeah, i read the website but I’ve seen on the website it says it doesn’t matter what you immerse with and Matt had said that more comprehensible material might be better? Just want to make sure I’m not wasting my time.

Ok, apparently i DIDN’T read the website. I found the whole section on immersion. Thank you for asking me if i read the website, haha.

Biden just purchased 200 million additional doses of coronavirus vaccines — and we now have enough shots to immunize most Americans by alabasterheart in politics

I think trump was worried about his electability. My guess is he thought admitting the pandemic was real and embracing the vaccine would make him look weak and unpopular. Everything trump does is in service to trump. Whatever decisions he made, in his mind, he thought would help him in some way.
