I got a mic now

My relative's relative has passed away. We also know him in person, so we haven't visited a Chinese tea-house in the morning this sunday. After having two language exchanges with J without a mic, I finally bought one yesterday very late at night. Since many stores were closed, I had no choice but a cheap one which my mam queried if it would work. =p I don't get used to speaking by facing a computer screen. B and S said I pronouce the German 'r' like the English 'r'. But J said I can't enunciate the English 'r' correctly, and also 'd', 'h', and 'w'. The hints given were:

  • "'r' is pronounced 'ahr', like you gurgle when you're angry, but you are saying 'ou'"
  • "You are saying 'd' like 'b', that isn't correct. It 's more like 't', say diamond"
  • "'h' is pronounced like 'äch', you were pronouncing it like 'häch'"
  • "And say 'u', now 'w'=uu. This' how the sound of this alphabet comes from"

Practice, practice, practice... =p
