Re: Help your fluency in a nifty way

Re: Help your fluency in a nifty way
今はある頭痛は、昨日の夜に飲んだ睡眠薬の副作用なの可能性があると気づいてきた。先週も強くあった。やばいなあ
I've just realized there's a possibility that this headache I have now is the result of a side-effect of a sleeping tablet I took last night. I also had a strong headache last week. Fuck.

Re: The "How do You Pronounce X" Thread
People do it sporadically, especially for /d/. It's a really easy feature to pick up that's not hugely stigmatized (compared to glottal stops at least), especially if you often hang out with Americans/Australians or you've spent a lot of time overseas.

Re: Help your fluency in a nifty way
Heb je Aqaba gezien van uit j e raam? I'm not sure why "vanuit" is better here, possibly it has to do with "zien", as you'd throw something "uit" the window. "Jij" is wrong here, as it's the stressed nominative. "Jouw" could be used, but the unstressed form is way better. Also, Wikipedia uses "Akab...

Re: Incorrect pronunciations you have (or have had) to unlea
In English it's pronounced "doyle", and that seems more or less how it's pronounced on teanglann, and possibly on forvo, although the forvo versions are a bit harder to make out (partly because of the worse sound quality). Are you saying there shouldn't be an off-glide? My "Doyle" is bisyllabic and...
