hey everyone,
I believe my pronunciation is fine, but many people in my country say that I speak really fast and whenever I speak in English, I'd have to repeat what I was saying again. So, do I speak fast? If so, what should I do?

Well, I had no problem with listening to your voice. I understood every word. This is probably because I also tend to speak fast, as do my fellow townsfolk.

If others are saying you are talking too fast, then the logical thing to do is to slow down to a pace that they can accept.

what i recognized while reading your recorded message is your beautiful voice and

your good pronunciation . concerning your question, i think you dont speak very fast.

for me, it is better to listen to those who speak very fast in order to make our ears

capable to catch difficult english words. This is my opinion. what do you think Mr

KITOSDAD.

bye

You know, it would be interesting to know how these people,who said you have fast pace, would think of Newfoundland accent. I can comprehend everything you said but I have hard time understanding NF accent. It sounds to me like they have something in their mouth while talking and very fast at the same time.
