About English speakers' pronunciation

Name: Anonymous 2009-07-07 0:15

A Japanese guy: "Ai emu Japaniizu man. Ai emu rukkingu foowaado tsu nowingu yuu. Letto'su speakingu!"

An ignorant prick (most likely American): "Haha! Look at that stupid Japanese speaker trying to pronounce English! Ain't it funny! LOL! brb gonna go masturbate to sum tentacle hentais and them read my mangas"

Hey English speakers! You are just like the Japanese: you can't pronounce foreign languages for shit.

Be it German, French, Finnish, Japanese, Chinese, Telugu or motherfuckin' Esperanto, English speakers simply sound awkward when they try to pronounce them (and believe me they try...). I haven't met (or more like heard) a single English speaker, trying to pronounce Japanese, who didn't try to sound like whatever stupid anime character they decided to ape (even saying that they sound like anime characters is an exaggeration; more like anime characters with downs).

Americans are the worst offenders, although the British and other anglophones are not doing a good job either.

Seriously guys, the world is becoming less and less anglophonic. Already westerners are scrambling to learn the languages of tomorrow: Chinese, Japanese, Hindi, Arabic, Russian. But no one will take you seriously with your muddled pronunciation, just like you can't take the Japanese seriously and mock them while you dream of fucking their women.

You can't pronounce ü, you can't roll your r's, your l's are weird, your k's and t's are always aspirated, your vowels are nothing but diphtongs which make you sound no better than the Japanese who can't pronounce consonants without attaching vowels to them: you always try to cram the diphtongs everywhere. You're incapable of pronouncing pure vowels, and believe me, it shows. Even the purest e's, a's, o's and u's you can produce have a certain unnatural tang to them.

Look in the mirror the next time you make fun of the Japanese and their pronunciation. Or better yet; record your voice, play it back, and weep.

You'll have to excuse certain typos. I'm on my iPod, and I've turned off spellcheck because it was annoying as fuck. I also see now that my post makes me look like an asshole, but whatever, it's all true. I'd edit my post to correct that, but I cannot. Lol.

I didn't try to be offensive by the way, it just ended up like that. But you americunts do have a disgraceful school system. Only the rich seem to be getting decent education, and they don't give a fuck because they're set for life. Is it, at least in SOME states, mandatory to learn a second language? inb4 we don't need it coz we rules da earth, you do need to learn another language so that you don't seem like an ignorant asshole. I mean, come on, 69% of Californians are Jesuses and Ramirezes. You could at least teach kids Spanish, just for the hell of it, even thoguh the immigrants should learn the lamguage of their host country.

Again, sorry for any typos, I'm on my iPod, and proof-reading and correcting my mistakes is a bitch when it scrolls me somewhere I don't want to go.
