As a native speaker, I agree.

But the way check out c/Englishlearning if you are learning English.

There is not much there, but I’m happy to help and answer questions.

Do you know is there something like this for German?

[–] nottheengineer@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago

Yes, there's !deutsch_lernen@feddit.de .

I feel like all three of those accents have normal/fancy/wildcard options within them

[–] Katzastrophe@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago

I've had a scottish-texan accent for half a year once, and now I have an american accent sometimes while speaking german, my mother language, shit's wild

[–] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You mixed up America and UK, who saysays an American accent is ever fancy lol

[–] Wilzax@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

US is normal

UK is fancy

Aussie is wildcard

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No. Wild card is you learned English in a foreign non English native country and your accent is an absolute mess. You say Autumn but Taxi, color but wa(t)er, and maybe you call you cell phone your "Handy".

Also, you never considered pronouncing gif as “jiff” because your native language (German), where you heard it first, has no soft G.

[–] mojo@lemm.ee 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don't think you choose, it's just kinda what you grow up around

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

OMG our usernames can be emojis??

[–] KrokanteBamischijf@feddit.nl 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's a cosmetic thing. @mojo@lemm.ee here has set a display name in addition to their username, which I believe supports any unicode character.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago

Phew. I thought this could lead to Unicode in URLs, which can get nasty.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

British - fancy

America - normal

Australia - wildcard

[–] nxdefiant@startrek.website 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

America should be Eevee, because there are so many opportunities for variation.

[–] ECB@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago

America actually has very little geographic variation in accents.

In the UK, for instance, it can change drastically from village to village.
