why the hell do you want to speak in an american accent if your mexican or something?

[Mottahead]

@gonzalez4515

Perhaps not to take awkward pauses (mentally searching for words) while speaking?

The point here (or at least I think it is) is fluency and clarity.

When it comes to accents even people from different parts of the USA tend to speak have different accents, so why bother?

[gaiusmarius161]

[MysticalxMagic]

Can you do a /a/ vs /ɔ/ because it's the hardest distinction for me. I'm used to pronouncing them the same, or not, but not really know when it's one and when it's the other.

[Luiseut59]

@ArturoStojanoff the latter is more open and longer than the other...

[TomWilliams921]

@ArturoStojanoff are you shooting for a west coast or an east coast dialect? keep in mind that in Californian (neutral American/ what you'd normally hear on american tv), the /ɔ/ vowel does not exist. they have only the back /a/ sound as in father. i guess i can send you some records&practice sheets if you like, just private message me.

[ArturoStojanoff]

@TomWilliams921 Thanks but don't worry, it's ok. I'll figure it out eventually...

[ulieannuaimy]

[watcherofzideozeszz]

[AKVR19]

i love how you put the similar pronounced words in front of the each other! Thanks, clearing up it helps a lot to us, non-native english speakers!!
