>leave / live
>sheep / ship
>beach / bitch
>sheet / shit
Leave / live
those are easy to tell apart
I can't pronounce "quintessentially" for shit though
Can you pronounce "essentially"?
I'm a brainlet but have a good time learning english.
Most hard part is the "th"
Example
Thing
Thought
Think
iktf
isnt that just "Queen - tessentially"
im afraid not everyone can be smart like me
Does Spanish contain no short vowel sounds?
The thing that kept confusing me for a long time is shit like "lives", "he lives" and "our lives" are written exactly the same but pronounced completely differently.
So for a long time I wrote the plural of life as "lifes" instead because that would actually kind of make sense given how it is pronounced
spain has 5 vowel sounds
a - e - i - o - u
they are always consistently pronounced the same way, except in gue - gui - que - qui (here the U is skipped, except if it has ü like pingüino)
Don't you have those accent things that alters how they're pronounced though?
live / leve
ship / shep
bich / bech
shit / shet
never noticed that
english is a retarded language
Tildes just mark the tone, they don't modify the base sound.
those are only to signify the emphasis on a vowel
for example, if they were used in english, i would have typed "émphasis" or "América"
they dont really change the phonetics of the vowel itself
>read is the past tense of read
>read and read are pronounced differently
>the city of "Reading" is pronounced "redding"
English is EZ just be a baby and learn it natively dumbnases.....
>wrote
>wrought
...is this irony?
no
These are very clearly differently pronounced words.
Yes, but I can't pronounce either of them to save my life
how is it pronounced then?
is it "keen tesentially"
Quin, like the name, or "Qwin"
I guarantee if you say it like "queen" people will think you're autistic
whats the difference between queen and quin ?
>its queentessentially not queentessentially
im sorry but they sound the same >_>"
>schedule
too much eee, its just like the name Quinn, if you ever heard
say win but with a hard "k" sound in front of it
wait that sounds like wee to you probably this is fucked
American on vacation?
No, I'm born and raised here

Is English a native language for a lot of Filipinos?
I know fucking nothing about the Philippines so this is surprising for me.
>Is English a native language
not a native language but most people speaks and understands English here
>I know fucking nothing about the Philippines so this is surprising for me
keep it that way, it's for your own good
Oh, I gotcha.
It's just that you sounded pretty native with that accent.
>keep it that way, it's for your own good
wew, I've heard some crazy shit going on over there
Qwin-teh-sen-shilly
>the Accusative Case varies depending on if the object is animate or inanimate
Fuck off with your case and gender bullshit. English is a fucking easy langauge and we don't have 5 versions of "Red" depending on gender or plural. You can fuck up the meaning of a sentence by not using the right case or gender. In english you can butcher even the basic grammar rules and people can still understand you.
Let's do some math, 3 genders (plus 3 plural forms) and 6 cases. 36 different endings for verbs that determine the idea of a sentence.
But yes we have retarded phonetics, your point?
>Christ
sucks to be born in a non-English speaking country desu. having a hard enough time learning french and it's the easiest.
do you do audiobooks
My accent changes a lot, and I sometimes adopt the accent of the person I'm talking to. And yes, we're not called a shithole for nothing
Is it true you speak retarded spanish that's called "Tag a cat"?
Rude.
Profession is textual shitposting, this is the hobby.
Not really, Latin is just retarded Greek, and spanish is retarded latin.
You can't really blame them for attempting to assimilate a retarded language.
No bulli
>tfw have a lisp and slight rhotacism so I sound like a retarded toddler and neckbeard no matter what
Wow, my first vocaroo message! Take this old (but good meme). As they say in Australia, "goods to you talley ho!"
Keep it in a dry, room temperature place.
Also why is it called "Take a look"?
>Spain/ Is pain
Why didn't you keep all the Latin cases? Dumb nigger gypsy fuck. USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USSA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA.USA YSA
WHY IS IT CALLED "Take a look"
You lied to me. It's Tagalog. Fucking asshole.
can you vocaroo MISSISSIPPI
I didn't it was a girl that explains the no bullies from autistic white knights.
You sound like my Philipino coworker whose native here. Hopefully you don't date a murderer and become fat like she did.
Tag a loog at that bekbek
Hehehe bek bek. Is that australian for butt :3
Why did you ban small titty women from being in porn. Do you expect big tit slags in real life? T-those aren't real women you know most of us don't have big boobs (or vaginas)

It's a slight lisp, but it used to be much, much worse when I was younger.
>starts crossing the border for no reason

yeah I could barely tell you have lisp. Sounds pretty normal
>doesn't want me to talk
>gives me a (you)
>yeah I could barely tell you have lisp. Sounds pretty normal
Ah, well, thanks. That makes me feel better. It's been a lot of work trying to get rid of it. Even the rhotacism has gotten better so I don't sound as much like Elmer Fudd like I used to.
