. Hello, Valentyna, and welcome to English-test.net.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with American pronunciation, and any Englishman who tells you so is bigoted. . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

Hi Mister Micawber! I didn`t mean, that something wrong with american pronunciation, I`ve noteced that it`s difference in pronounciation when I am listening how they talk to each other, or by tv. they are never offend me or laught at my pronounciation, people here are quite patiant and understand me and they tell me how they would say it. But when I am watching tv or move, I am lost. with regards |

Hello Valentyna,
Welcome to our forum and many thanks for your question. The good thing about English is that there are so many accents and after while you get used to any of them. By the way, if you like you can also record your own voice here on the forum.
Let me know what you think. Many thanks, Torsten

Hi Torsten! Lots of thanks for your lessons. From your last lesson 32 that you sent to me, I see how right you are about passive and active skills. Even I am here where all people speak in their mother tongue, and I can read and listen them almost whole day, but I don`t talk and write a lot, cause my husband is at work whole day, and I`m doing my job at the computer whole day as well. (I`m drawing plans in programme). What do I think about record own voice on the forum? I think it`s great idea too started to have more confidence to try to spell everything that is written by me. with lots of regars and respect Valentyna |

Hey Valentyna,
Just to welcome you oj english-test and tel you that your English is not bad even if you learnt American language, it is English. And though i be confronted with the same matter in fact (lol). American and British are considered as being English language but both sides are not similar in vocabulary and Grammar also. And at the university, or teacher of english Grammar spent much time with teaching English in the U.S.A. and it also means our p^ronunciation cannot be the same.
With the Messiah's LOVE, |
