Hi!👋🏻 Leave your audio 🔊 and I will help you with pronunciation

🙂

🇺🇸
People wondered where the kite came from. Who was behind it? It was truly the big bird, the biggest of them all.
For an hour, the townsfolk followed the flight of the big bird. They craned their necks to see it rise: erect, singular, unopposed. Some said it was living. Some said it was a miracle. 🪁

Murzban Shroff, "Third Eye Rising"

    They "craned" their necks. Is the pun intentional do you think.?

    @Laisson Good🙂. Try to pronounce all consonants. Also let's check: wondered, craned, was

    @Olga you have such a peaceful voice🌷. If you like, let's check the they their (although I can understand you even if you pronounce TH differently). You may place the tip of your tongue between your teeth while saying TH.

  • Alia 알리아 2021.02.15 09:29

    EN
    KR

    @Louis Oh! You have translated! 😃👍🏻 Remember that in words ending in ~tion the T will sound as an S. It is also important to take into account that French tends to place the accent on the last "sounding" syllable (the last one that has a vowel sound that is not mute) in a group of words that goes together, sometimes a sentence, sometimes part of it. So one starts relaxed and builds tension toward the end of that group of words to only accentuate the end. This will help give speech more fluidity. If you share the text here, I can read it for you to give you an example😃.

    @Alia 알리아 in italian we use a lot "passato prossimo" more than in spanish, but i know that for south america is a bit uncommun use "preterito perfecto" i don't know in Mexico :) So i would say "hai letto molto bene" Grazie mille!

    @Alia 알리아 merci Les gens se demandaient d'où venait le cerf-volant. Qui était derrière? C'était vraiment le gros oiseau, le plus gros de tous. Pendant une heure, les citadins ont suivi le vol du gros oiseau. Ils ont tendu le cou pour le voir se lever: droit, singulier, sans opposition. Certains ont dit que c'était vivant. Certains ont dit que c'était un miracle.

    🙂 my pleasure. I am exaggerating the intonation here but it will give you a general idea. Start soft and build tension as you go until the last sounding syllable before the slash.
