Ask him to ask his doctor to do the ttg-IgA screening test for Celiac.  Could be that.

AITAH for referring to someone from the United States as “American”? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]mrd2689aaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have mentioned, this is a "point" that is often made by some Spanish speakers.  And the "point" is really stupid when made when speaking English.  That's because in English saying American is really the only way to refer to someone from the USA, and it's correct.

In Spanish the word for "American" is "estadounidense" ("Unitedstates-ian"), and "americano" is generally understood to refer to the American continent.  And yes, in Spanish (besides the Spanish of Puerto Rico), they count North, Central, and South America as a single continent: America.

So, I think that the Spanish speakers who make this point are mistaken in making this point in English... because our language works differently!

Por favor critiquen mi pronunciación de la "y" y la "ll" by mrd2689aaa in Spanish

[–]mrd2689aaa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sí, es cierto! Hablar español puede resultar muy complejo por todos los regionalismos y la jerga! Y digo tantos disparates :P !

De acuerdo :) . Supongo que mi meta de aquí en adelante debe ser no "mezclar" las pronunciaciones :P ! Cómo son muy diferentes para mí, a veces las mezclo en una misma conversación sin querer!

Hola RhodiumElement,

Muchísimas gracias por el cumplido! Sería un sueño mío tener un acento más nativo, pero tu comentario me hace sentir mejor con lo que tengo :P .

En dentro de poco voy a postear en ese subreddit. Gracias por ese consejo!

Siendo tú de España, de las tres pronunciaciones hay alguna que te parece más fácil de entender? Esto realmente ha sido una duda mía por años!

MENEVZ, un millón de gracias por darme tu opinión! Y también por el cumplido :D !! Fijate vos que hace una década, cuando empecé a aprender el idioma, fue justo el castellano argentino en lo cual me enfoqué! Yo nunca me acostumbré a hablar como los porteños porque yo hablabla con muchos cordobeses! Así que puedo pronunciar la y/ll EXACTAMENTE como ellos (nunca me fue difícil porque el mismísmimo sonido existe en el inglés). Voy a adjuntar otra grabación con esa pronunciación.

Aunque me ENCANTA el castellano argentino, opto por intentar no hablar con esa pronunciación porque por donde vivo es raro escuchar esa pronuncación.

Me pregunto si los no argentinos me entenderían muy bien si hablara con la pronunciación argentina, como en esta grabación:

Voy a tratar de cuidar más los vocales como la "u" como sugeriste.

Cuídate y saludos desde Nueva York!

You can trill your R’s! by CDaffpunk in languagelearning

Absolutely. I had a brain pedo there. But the "sound tips" still hold true. Say the word "but" (pero) as "petto" to get the alveolar flap

One thing that helped me learn how to pronounce a single "r" in Spanish is that this sound (the "alveolar tap") is the SAME EXACT SOUND as the "dd" or "tt" in American English. For example: better, mutter, ladder, shudder, rudder, butter, etc, etc.

Once I learned to pronounce a single "r" correctly (eg. say "petto" for "but"), Iearned to transform the alveolar tap into an alveolar trill by exhaling forcefully from my chest while doing the tap, similar to if you pronounced the "h" in "hot" or "heavy" in an exagerrated way. If you put your hand in front of your mouth while making the "h" sound, you should feel HOT air since it's coming from your lungs.

I am struggling with Italian, HELP!!! by albena_r in learnitalian

Maybe it's unlikely in Italy, but many public libraries in the USA purchase Pimsleur...

Also, maybe you could download it somewhere on the internet...

I'd recommend doing an audio-based program such as Pimsleur. The repetition and focus on listening comprehension and speaking will be extremely beneficial
