practicing German, advice and corrections welcome @kitten Pretty good, the second and third "Süden" are better than the first one. The sound should come from the front of your mouth, barely behind the pointy lips. Almost as if you want to whistle neocat_floof

The "ein" sounded more like "in".
The "süßes" and "kätzches" on the other hand were pretty good.

practicing German, advice and corrections welcome @kitten yes!!! nice :)
The "S" of "Süden" is a bit sharp, it's a bit more of a /z/ in standard german (like in "zebra" in english), although that also varies by local german dialect

I'll keep in mind the s thing, but I think that's more of a matter of remembering it than it being a difficult sound for me

thanks for all the advice ✨

practicing German, advice and corrections welcome @kitten @floy You can also just completely ignore it, because the claim that there are different ways to pronounce “s” is a lie made up by people in northern Germany. 🤬

(In the south, where I’m from we literally don’t distinguish at all and all school children hate the “You use ‘s’ on voiced and ‘ß’ on unvoiced ‘es’”-advice because we don’t even know what a voiced s is. Not even kidding.)

(Also: In case you saw my deleted comment: I misheard on first listening (speakers on low volume), you did pronounce it correctly!)

I am aware of Germans in general having very strong opinions about having variety in accents and pronunciation ​:blobcatgiggle:​

Das klingt echt gut :) Dein Accent ist stark, (und auch das S ein bischen stark gesprochen) aber es ist eindeutig zu verstehen was du sagst :)

Du machst das echt gut :)

re: practicing German, advice and corrections welcome @mira ​:blobcathearts:​ blobhaj_tiny_hearts ​:neocat_sign_thx:​

hopefully the accent gets better with practice (and when speaking more spontaneously, rather than reading and having to remember specific sounds)

du bist sehr nett und hilfsbereit ✨

Ich denke, dass der Accent mit mehr Übung besser werden wird :)

Gerne :)

Wenn du magst können wir auch demnächst mal einen Video-anruf machen, dann kannst du live sprechen üben.

re: practicing German, advice and corrections welcome @kitten Ich würde es nicht anbieten, wenn ich es nicht ernst meinen würde :)

Wenn du denkst, das es so sinnvoller ist, dann lerne gerne erst noch einige Wörter, und sag gerne Bescheid wenn du das Gefühl hast, dass du es gerne probieren würdest :)
