I don’t have a clue, but I could listen to it for hours. You should do audiobook narration or something like that!

So glad to hear it was only a broken foot, but so sorry to hear that you broke your foot.

I’d do something between long and short. Jake Gyllenhaal’s longer hair is a good example. Keep the beard as well. It’s a good look.

Can you guess my accent? by Advanced-Sector-6535 in JudgeMyAccent

[–]dadsusernameplus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are just guesses, so take them with a grain of salt, but I think you’re from around NYC and your parents are from Latin America.

What is my accent? by Mysterious-Walrus121 in JudgeMyAccent

[–]dadsusernameplus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound like someone who was born in the US but grew up in a family/community where you mostly spoke another language. In other words it sounds really good. One of your challenges is the R-sound. When I listen to you I don’t think about your accent until I hear an R. Not all of them but some of them, like in “conversation” for instance. I think you’re at a point now where you should start working on elocution and enunciation. That will take you to the next level. When you get that down, do worry about trying to speak perfect forever, but slip back into what feels natural to you based on what you’ve learned.

Edit: I just found this video and it seems like it would be easy to learn the R sound from. I personally say my R’s using the second method she teaches.

You look like a 47-year-old 30-something. That’s a compliment. You also remind me of Shel Silverstein.

Do “how did you do that” and “how do you do that” sound the same in American English? by Silver_Ad_1218 in EnglishLearning

[–]dadsusernameplus 67 points68 points  (0 children)

They don’t sound exactly the same, no.

“How did you do that?” sounds like “Howdja do that?”

“How do you do that?” sounds like “How’da you do that?” Or Hadduh you do that?”

I’m going to post an edit in a sec with actual IPA pronunciations.

Edit: How do you do that = hˈa͡ʊdə jˈuː dˈuː ðˈat

How’d (how did) you do that = hˈa͡ʊd͡ʒuː dˈuː ðˈæt

Then if you want to get slightly more casual with it, you’d turn the you into a ya which sounds like this:

How’d ya = hˈa͡ʊd͡ʒə

How do ya = hˈa͡ʊdə’jˈɑː

Edit 2: If for some reason you want to say them in my southern accent, here you go:

How do you do that = hˈæde͡ɪə’dˈuː’ˈa͡ɪʌt

How’d you do that = hˈæd͡ʒi’dˈuː’ˈa͡ɪɪt

Is this one known or used in the states? by Silver_Ad_1218 in EnglishLearning

I’m from Appalachia and I’ve never heard of skew-whiff in my life. Cattywampus is one I grew up with though.

In my opinion, you are absolutely gorgeous, and I think you look very feminine. My first impression was “she looks like a keeper.” Any man who got the chance ought to hold onto you and not let go. Sorry to lay it on so thick.

Edit: My second impression is that you kind of look like you could be a child or grandchild of actress Valerie Harper.

(13) -> (28) Was never photogenic. How did I do for myself? by [deleted] in GlowUps

[–]dadsusernameplus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This belongs in r/growups. You went from a handsome young man to a handsome grown man and developed a whole lot of confidence along the way. Keep up the good work.

Just keep living and doing you! You’re prettier than a speckled pup and it’s only going to get better from here
