¡Hola a todos! Como recientemente he publicado varios post sobre el acento andaluz, quería también subir un vídeo en el que rindo homenaje a la ciudad donde viví durante 10 meses. ¡Viva Getafe! Próxima estación: Arroyo Culebro.

Esta cita viene, de nuevo, de la peli "El laberinto del fauno".

" Hace muchos muchos años, en un país muy lejano y triste existió una enorme montaña de piedra negra y áspera. Al caer la tarde en la cima de esa montaña, florecía todas las noches una rosa que otorgaba la inmortalidad, sin embargo nadie se atrevía acercarse a ella, pues sus numerosas espinas estaban envenenadas. Entre los hombres solo se hablaba del miedo a la muerte y al dolor, pero nunca de la promesa de la inmortalidad. Y todas las tardes la rosa se marchitaba sin poder otorgar sus dones a persona alguna, olvidada y perdida en la cima de la montaña de piedra fría, sola hasta el fin de los tiempos. "

"Many, many years ago in a sad, faraway land, there was an enormous mountain made of rough, black stone. At sunset, on top of that mountain, a magic rose blossomed every night that made whoever plucked it immortal. But no one dared go near it because its thorns were full of poison. Men talked amongst themselves about their fear of death, and pain, but never about the promise of eternal life. And every day, the rose wilted, unable to bequeath its gift to anyone... forgotten and lost at the top of that cold, dark mountain, forever alone, until the end of time. "

Gracias de nuevo y espero ver lo que pensáis :)

  • Me he quedado de piedra, no sólo has logrado a la perfección el habla del centro-norte de España, sino que además eres un magnífico narrador, ¡bravo!

  • @Tasarte Muchísimas gracias Tasarte :) ¿de qué parte eres? Me has dado una alegría.

  • What are the main things one should think about when imitating a Madrilean accent o:?

  • @R0Y90 Well, there are lots of different accents in Madrid. Here's your guide to typical tough-guy, chain-smoker Spanish. 1. Strong /x/ sound (jjjoder). 2. Speak from the throat. 3. Of course distinction between c, z, and s like in most of North/Central Spain. 4. Discourse markers like: macho, pues nada, hombre. 5. S sound needs to be apical-alveolar rather than predorsal alveolar (almost sounds like sh, but not quite).

    Thanks for dropping by!

  • es Maxi el de la que se avecina jajajajaja XD clavao

  • @BboyBells Jejeje muchas gracias BboyBells de hecho creas o no me lo han contado antes!! Sí, este tío habla con una voz muy chulesca y grave y como yo, cuando viví en Getafe, vivía con un tío ex-militar fumador macho (que era super majo, por cierto), aprendí a hablar como él.

  • @genomsbeats I thought it was more like a ''th'' as in ''the/there/this'', not a soft-th sound. ''Madrithh'' ?

  • @R0Y90

    Don't forget the "D" often morphing into a "TH" sound like "thing" in english.

  • @dychui Great advice, I'll definitely be taking all that into account. I tried listening to Cabreados and I can just barely understand it: it doesn't feel comprehensible. I feel like I'm on the cusp of understanding it but never can quite hold on. There are still a lot of gaps in my vocab and listening skills, so I'm trying to get better before I go back to listening to podcasts. I'm looking forward to your new videos though! Thanks again!

  • Would it matter if I don't understand completely what the people are saying in the podcasts? Also, I find it difficult to differentiate/pronounciation some sounds, e.g. "peRRo" y "peRo". How do I practise and improve my oral? (given that I don't have a full Spanish-speaking environment)

    Thanks (:
