I know beginner to intermediate German. I want to practice my German with someone, but I feel like it's too much of a difficulty on them. I can read well, but when it comes to speaking and writing I flop.

Speaking in so far as thinking on my feet to what to say. I think my pronunciation is reasonable.

If you care to, drop your discord and maybe someone reading this here might decide to help you. Or post some vocaroos and get (be)rated for your skills

>I can read well, but when it comes to speaking and writing I flop.
Laesst mich eigentlich wundern, warum das so ist. Man sollte ja meinen, dass man von anderen Leuten irgendwann den Satzbau und die Grammatik mitlernt.

Can you rate me on my pronunciation? Also it would be interesting if you can pick up my accent. I tried reading out your post.

Speaking is the worst. My speaking skill in every foreign language is trash because practicing means having to talk to people and messing up has consequences

Bit robotic but if you would talk like that in Germany no one but some eastern german retards would bat an eye. Keep at it lad.

how do you not find that language disgusting sounding?

No annoying accent to hear. Thats good. You just sound kinda slow. This should get better with more experience though. Grammar is fine, too.

Just as said. Keep practicing and you'll be fine eventually.

By being heterosexual. Pity you, mate.

i pity you for having shit taste

You get the ich-Laut correct, but your "v" in "wundern" is a little weak. You need to put a little bit more effort into your vowels (which is admittedly hard), "das so ist" doesn't sound natural. The "v" in "dass man [v]on anderen" needs to be pronounced as "f", and the "r" in "Grammatik" needs to come from the throat.

It sort of sounds British, if anything, but I'm poor at determining accents to begin with.

Here's how I'd say it: vocaroo.com/1n1ZQ6Ke7Gwj

Hey german here, I was gona help you but then I realized you're male. Sry but only fags and bitches learn languages, fuck you. A real man learns stem, law or accounting.

Alter bei dir hoert man ja so hart, dass du ein incel bist hahha

Und dennoch habe ich mit dieser Stimme Weiber feuchtgekriegt.

>It sort of sounds British
He caught me, how British do I sound though?

*Grunt* *Grunt* *Holds law text up in the air*
*Squeal* *Shows you some chemical formula*

How Manly.

Better than all the fags and bitches who piss away all their time learning some bullshit that they'll never need and forget after 6 months.
>inb4 hur dur there is useless shit in stem/law/accounting
Yeah but you get jobs, unlike people learning Italian and German

Manche wuerden ja ihre Haende etc. dazu nutzen, aber jedem das Seine.

Well, it's clear that you're a non-native speaker. Even with the "v", "f" and "r" confusion your vowels just don't sound right ("e" is quite exaggerated too). However it's not so bad that people would immediately guess where you're from.

You ever watched Inglourious Basterds? You've still got some ways ahead to Hicox, and even he got caught.

Hahaha, er muss dafuer seine Haende verwenden! Was ein Inzel. Kann das nicht einmal mit seiner Stimme schaffen.

Accounting jobs should be beneath anyone with at least passable intellect. These jobs will be automated sooner rather than later, anyway. STEM however is indeed a good field, but pick your job well. Wasting away in a lab or writing expertise will feed you, but compared to the effort you go through to get there, you could do way better.

*Unz[oe]l, Kamerad!

How do you pronounce the o and u with umlauts? The a with umlauts does not generate inconveniences.

Well you don't know shit about accounting and I'm not wasting my time explaining it. Languages are still a fucking waste of time and will get nobody jobs

First: it's not "a with umlauts" or "u with umlauts". Ae, Oe and Ue (can't write them on this board) *are* umlauts.

Second: there's two pronunciations for each letter, long and short.

Third: vocaroo.com/1hoM36swikep
>Waehrung - Aepfel
>Schoen - Stoecke
>Muehle - Muell

You can move to the country though
Id like to go to Germany for the techno parties
There arent any techno parties in my country

>Can't make a good argument, so I pretend I just dont want to.
Lel, triggered.

Also, Translators can get quite handsome pays, I've heard.
But I concede that language work, along with accounting, which is pretty low energy btw., is gonna get automated away within the next 10-20 years. So rejoice, you're at least partly right.

So I tried to write them here but it wouldn't stop. Thanks for correcting.

>So I tried to write them here but it wouldn't stop.
This isn't about them being unable to be used on this board. "with umlauts" simply doesn't exist, in German Ae, Oe and Ue are simply umlauts and not "with umlauts". Foreign speakers get that wrong all the time for some reason.

Another thing to note: at least with the ae, it may at times be spoken as a german 'e' in everyday speech. An example of this would be the word 'Kaese', which is colloquially pronounced as 'Kese'.
Speaking such words with their proper 'ae' would actually be more noticable to everyday speakers. Still, basically no one will resent you for it, considering most german accents sound way worse than someone learning high german does.

My interest is in reading properly in German. More if the font I'm reading uses a font from the 1700's. For example: the ''s'' for tall spelling.
