Upload a sound file of you talking in a language you're learning and post it in this subreddit. Native speakers of this particular language will tell you how to improve your accent.

Ever wondered how you sound speaking your second, third or fourth language? Is it difficult to understand you when you talk, or have you achieved such a high level of proficiency that you almost sound like a native?

In r/JudgeMyAccent, you can get an answer to all those questions. Here is what you need to do:

  1. Visit a sound sharing website and record yourself speaking your language of choice. The most popular service is Vocaroo.

  2. Post a link to your recording to this subreddit.

  3. You can either include the language in the title of the post or add a flair yourself.

Judge my accent

I know I'm not doing a decent job, so please be patient. English doesn't come naturally to me when speaking as I would like plus I have not been using it much for communication.

I'm trying to take baby steps to work on it, my goal is to minimise the accent as much as possible so your feedback would really be so much helpful.

Thankyou :)

Estoy en mi tercer año en el colegio, el primero todo fue muy bien con todos, al segundo me hice novio de una chica, terminamos en diciembre y en enero una amiga de ella me tiraba indirectas amorosas y yo quería saber lo que sentía así que le dije que yo también sentía amor, ahora me odian todas.

Que hago? Ahora todas las de mi salón me odian

Can you guess where I’m from (and a bonus question)

Hi everybody, I’ve made a quick audio and I wondered if the community could answer a couple questions about it ? For context, I am living in Canada at the moment and often Canadians cannot pin point my accent and many also ask if I’m from a certain country! I think its pretty obvious where I’m from but my experiences in the great white North have me second guessing. So can you guess the following : 1:the country people mistake as my home country. 2:The country (and region if you fancy) that I am actually from.

Hi! Please Judge my american accent! And guess where am actually from! :)

This is my first post on here. I'd really like to know how much of an American i sound like and if I can pass as an American AND what are the things that I can work on to sound more like a native speaker. If you do think I sound american, do let me know which part of the US I sound like I could be from. Really curious to know!

judge my accent while speaking korean

1년 한국어 배우고 있어요. 근데 제 한국어는 조금 나빠요. 저는 유창하지 않아요. 제 생각해 제 목소리는 너무너무 외국인처럼. 너의 생각 주세요, 이건 도와줄 거예요.

for a year, i’ve been learning korean. but my korean is a bit bad. i‘m not fluent. i think that my accent sounds too foreign. please give your thoughts, it will help me.

What gives away that I'm not a native speaker?

Hey, so I'd like to get some feedback on how my accent sounds to native speakers of English. What gives me away and what could I work on? Thanks!

I am becoming less and less concerned about my Latino accent

Recording

I learned English watching American TV shows (Cold Case, Criminal Minds, Without A Trace, NCIS, etc.), I have never been to the US and nobody in my family speaks English fluently. English is my third language (after Spanish and Italian).

I want to make sure I can communicate with English speakers, but I am becoming less and less concerned about my Latin American accent. It's not because of some pride or anything, it's just that I rarely have problems talking to Americans or other English speakers. That's it. Hiring an accent coach would be a waste of the money that I don't have.

I do think that sometimes I try to speak too fast in the same way I speak Spanish. Spanish is an easy language without complicated sounds. English is the opposite. I need to find a way to speak a little bit slower in English to make sure my accent doesn't hinder communication. However, I won't be that worried if people notice the Spanish/Latino undertone when I speak English.

Thanks

Woold like some tips where I am at with English

Made a recording of some free speaking. In your opinion, what would be the things that I should focus on the most? Dream accent - neutral American English. Thanks!

Italian Accent

https://voca.ro/1oyiogYGWFpa

Ciao a tutti!

I’m an Italian language student and I’d like to know what my accent sounds like. I practice speaking with Italian friends several hours a week, most of them from the North (Lombardia, Veneto), but some occasionally from the South (Puglia, Lazio).

I’d love to hear any tips from Italian natives. My closest friend is from Vicenza, so I pay attention to her pronunciation quite a bit, though I doubt I sound like her.

I’d like to hear any tips from Italian natives to 1. Improve my accent and 2. Maybe guess where I’m originally from or what my native language is.

Ciao!
