Dutch Adventures Part III

Hey Sander!

Thanks for all your help so far.

I've been busy lately but I'm back with two samples!

1/ You told me my Nl<uw> sounded too much like En<you>. How is it now? http://monovelli.club.fr/uw_zoon.mp3 [nl]

2/ I'm trying to learn Dutch vowels. In the following recording, a Dutch speaker pronounces a word, then I try to repeat it. The words we are speaking are the Dutch for En <bath>, <bed>, <beetroot>, <bit>, <bite>, <boat> and <bone>.
How are my vowels? I think I don't pronounce the vowel very well in the Dutch word for En<bit>...

Thanks!

Wauw! "Dutch Adventures Part III" what a title!

Your 'Uw' is very good now (keep working on the 'hoe')

And your vowels are good to,as for 'beet' ,your EE is a bit short but its not that much of a problem.

Come to think about it,"Dutch Adventures Part III" sounds like porno... ;)

Ja dis nou 'n geneukery... ;)))

Gedraag je Andre!

LOL!!!!!

Sorry Sander couldn't resist that! ;))

No,your right,it was to attractive. ;)

'Dutch Adventures Part III' nice thread name :)

New attempts:

1/ I think my NL<hoe> is better here: http://monovelli.club.fr/uw_zoon2.mp3

2/ I've tried to make my <ee> longer in NL<beet> but I'm not sure I succeeded: http://monovelli.club.fr/7_words_nl_2.mp3


<<Come to think about it,"Dutch Adventures Part III" sounds like porno...>>

Bent u ziek? :p

Your improving,the HOE is much better now,BEET as well the only major error I see is ZOON,the Z in 'zoon' is very harsh.You tend "sSsSsSoon" is the (Dutch) Z hard for francophones?

Why all Dutch men look the same: they are very tall, slim and have long, horse-like faces?

<<is the (Dutch) Z hard for francophones?>>

I don't know. Perhaps I'm not used to that sound so I tend to not even notice it and hear a <s> instead. I'll work on that.

I still remember my Dutch Adventure No 1. No 2 hasn't happened yet. :-)

Well Damian in the frist two adventures the world was a happy and wonderful place til the Evil Adam came about and commited evil acts toward inncocent people.

Sander our hero comes to the help and tries to save the world. He fights the Evil Adam and banishes him to a small island somewhere in England. The world returns to normal.

The End ;)
