When you started making the funny voices, and then the sudden stop... thats why. I didnt know it was on purpose. You goofy person :P I thought my computer is to blame.The voice is actually quite nice...sexy and... I'll stop there. I enjoyed your serious voice more. The one you posted some pages back. You would sound very nice...in demanding "things" :D

IT is not known, now, for what length of time the Tuatha de Danaan had the sway over Ireland, and it is likely it was a long time they had it, but they were put from it at last.

It was at Inver Slane, to the north of Leinster, the sons of Gaedhal of the Shining Armour, the Very Gentle, that were called afterwards the Sons of the Gael, made their first attempt to land in Ireland to avenge Ith, one of their race that had come there one time and had met with his death.

It's not surprising. The Northern Irish are what the American's call the Scots-Irish. A Northern Irish accent can sound half Irish and Half Scottish. It helps that you sound a bit rough too. Ye'd make a good Ulsterman. :D

Dammit....I cannot get anything to record. My computer is a Toshiba Satellite and there is no separate microphone....I tried troubleshooting according to the Vocaroo site and got nowhere.

Help! What am I missing?

I used to have a Toshiba Satellite, but mine would have been almost 6 years old now. I don't know how old yours is, but you may need to get a microphone for it. Alternatively, if you have headphones, you could try plugging those into the microphone jack & speaking into them. It might work. :shrug:

In terms of mastering pronounciation - certainly. Even now there are not that many places in Russia where people can learn how to speak more or less proper English or British American. My school was uber Anglophile and we even had ridiculus school uni that was supposed to resemble "native" British dress. So up until going abroad I had somewhat Brit accent. Later it got Americanized.

Here many people emigrate, so there are many places and teachers.
When I studied English at school I noticed that most people who go to A level courses (there are A and B courses, you pick one of the two yourself) don't have typical Eastern European accent, though everyone had less or more individual pronounciation. I think here it mosty depends on your own willingness to learn English, not many people took additional (outside of school) lessons.

Vocab list:

yonder
c.1300, from O.E. geond (see yond) + comp. suffix -er. Now replaced except in poetic usage by ungrammatical that.

beyond
O.E. begeondan "beyond, from the farther side," from be- "by," here probably indicating position, + geond "yonder" (prep.); see yond. A compound not found elsewhere in Germanic.

yond
O.E. geond (adv., prep.) "beyond, yonder," related to geon (see yon).

yon
O.E. geon (adj.) "that (over there)," from P.Gmc. *jaino- (cf. O.Fris. jen, O.N. enn, O.H.G. ener, M.Du. ghens, Ger. jener, Goth. jains "that, you"), from PIE pronomial stem *i- (cf. Skt. ena-, third person pronoun, anena "that;" L. idem "the same," id "it, that one;" O.C.S. onu "he;" Lith. ans "he").

Good, but with a few little things from other dialects and sociolects thrown in! :D There's a lot of flavour from a more lower middle class SE accent, especially evident in 'cheese'. The vowel in 'bag' isn't quite the posh 'ae' thing that I associate with RP, being more similar to my own pronunciation rather. And 'plaaastic' sounds like West Country, almost!

On our r's: Depending on the word the r letter is either heavily pronounced like in fer/for, her, thar/there, etc... but not so heavily pronounced as in howse/horse, drawuh/drawer, showa/shower.

First one is obviously Adyghe. Lat one is without a doubt Balkar. I have a trouble distinguish Nakh-Dagestan languages between each other. I'll go with second being Avar(seems to have Georgian like k' there and that is smth I know to be characteristic of Avar) and third Chechen.

Down South. Eindhoven ? Soft G is very much present. So I guess it's south of the big sewers.

Very close. I am from Northern Limburg, somewhere close to Brabant (Brabant is only a few minutes from my house. :p).

[The Lawspeaker]

Very close. I am from Northern Limburg but Brabant is only a few minutes from my house. :p
Northern Limburg. I wouldn't have guessed that since I used to live in Heibloem where people spoke Limburgic. Only a few miles north towards Meyel would it become more like Brabantic.

[Azalea]

But I read somewhere that our dialect is considered to be more 'Brabants' than actual 'Limburgs'. So you were very close with your guess really and tbh, I don't know much about other Northern Limburg dialects.

[The Lawspeaker]

But I read somewhere that our dialect is considered to be more 'Brabants' than actual 'Limburgs'. So you were very close with your guess really and tbh, I don't know much about other Northern Limburg dialects.
That's probably because it's in the border region. It's in that area where the dialects begin to change from Brabantic to Limburgic. Basically what you can see when you travel to the Alsace-Lorraine where there are all these shades of grey before one goes from French to German.

[Azalea]

Yes, probably. ;)

But I read somewhere that our dialect is considered to be more 'Brabants' than actual 'Limburgs'. So you were very close with your guess really and tbh, I don't know much about other Northern Limburg dialects.
Hmm my advise would be that if you would have some time to visit neighbouring villages - basically following the route Weert- River Meuse (without leaving Limburg) and then follow the Meuse South towards Venlo and Roermond and then listen at the way people speak - you will hear the accent change when you go deeper into the province.

Northern Limburg (North of Venlo) could also be interesting if you would go down from Nijmegen towards Venlo.
