Your pronunciation is sometimes a bit strange.

As others have said, you are certainly understandable. Some of your vowel sounds are a bit off, but not so much that you can't be understood. The surname's that you have trouble with - Kalliokoski and Fjellstrom are not of English origin, which why you may be having trouble with them. I'm sure Thomas and Arthur have a better sense of their origin, but I'm pretty certain that Fjellstrom is a Swedish name and to me Kalliokoski sounds either eastern European or perhaps Finnish.

Your English is perfectly understandable. Yes, the vowels are slightly off, but even native English speaking people use very different vowel sounds. For example, in my rural Midwestern accent, the following words have the same vowel sound: bag, egg. I would say "progress" like "prah-gress", where others would say "proh-gress" (long sound). And so on. But you messed up my last name, and that is not forgivable. |

LennyLen said: I'm pretty certain that Fjellstrom is a Swedish name Yup. In sweedish I'm told the j makes it sound like "Fee-yell" at least sorta. And the o really should have an umlaut on it, and the r should probably be rolled a bit. But we do none of that! Three generations of canadians really couldn't care less about the proper pronunciation. We just say Fell-strom. Silent j, no rolled r, and no umlaut. Besides it's not even the families original name. Apparently my great (great?) grandfather (the one that immigrated over) changed his name at the border to Fjellstrom from Larsson. -- |

My talking skills aren't great and the slang that I've picked up from rap and shit don't work for me so well. You'll probably find it hard to make out a few words here and there... I know I do. I meant to say that a native English speaker probably wouldn't be bothered having a conversation with AMCerasoli because he speaks English quite well (though it does seem like a bit of a workout for him at times). In any case, on the recording I think it sounded more like I said it would bother people. I made some other embarrassing mistakes, I think, but I don't remember what they were. I can't edit the audio and if I'm talking then I'll probably make a bunch of mistakes or sound muffled anyway no matter how many takes I do... Part of the problem is that I speak too fast at times and fail to enunciate. Enjoy! I attempted to rap at the end of the recording. It's a song that I'm not overly familiar with and basically read the lyrics as I spoke them so there are some obvious pauses and mistakes where my rapping outran my ability to read. I imagine if I practice some more I'll memorize the lyrics and should be able to do better...

Not clicking on any of those. Don't want to ruin the fantasy of these ridiculous voices you all have in my head . "For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow."-Ecclesiastes 1:18 |

AMCerasoli: I can understand you just fine. You speak English very well. Oh, and I'd share my voice, but I was born without head so I can't speak. Sorrry. The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face. |

taron said: AFAIK, many people think by having a 'monologue' inside their heads. I do that, but there's a difference between thinking with an internal voice, and thinking with a different internal voice depending on the source of the words you are thinking. However, I'd think that subvocalization is a more fitting concept to apply here, as it's specifically the act of reading using an internal voice. And using a different voice depending on who's words you are reading is definitely something that I do, although I usually only bother to do that when I'm reading novels. The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face. |

Wow, well I can't answer to everyone using my voice, it was a little bit difficult to say all what I said whitout too many errors, it's not something that comes out naturally, maybe with more practice, but speacking in real time is a little bit hard right now. Besides now there are some people here and I'll sound like a crazy . So I have just answered to Matthew and Bamcaing. I want to answer Miquel but I'll do it tomorrow. Nice to hear you guys
