Ratings and Reviews
Please add British English
I came across an idea recently, that accent makes you sound uneducated. It was a revelation. I have a PhD, but in non-academic circles people may be patronising at times. For no obvious reason. But here is the reason!
The app is amazing for someone with moderate/heavy non-English accent like me. People reviewing this app and saying that they are native speakers/or have no-accent pronunciation - this app is not for you, haha, don’t review it.
For us, whose accent is easily detectable (people always ask you ‘Your English is so good/Your accent is very sweet. Where are you from?’) it is great.
The problem is… I live in the UK. And I am not that keen on the difference in how ‘A’ sounds in ‘bad’, ‘thanks’ etc.
What is hopeful is that with an American accent I may still sound more educated than with what I currently have, haha.
Idea is good but not diverse
I tried this app out before I introduced it to my partner (who is an L2 English speaker and asked me to have a look at it; I’m L1 English speaker from Australia/UK). I see the point of it and it is good for L2 speakers living in the US/Canada, it’s useless if you live in any other English speaking country or do not want an American accent. It’s especially awful for non-rhotic accents - it kept correcting my my Australian/UK pronunciations and highlighted them as erroneous and suggested American alternatives. I did find it quite funny that the videos to demonstrate ‘native’ examples of how words would be said included people who did not speak English natively with heavy accents and Australian speakers! Seems a bit odd…
However, I did enjoy that it was able to accurately highlight the phonemes using the IPA. But that was about where the usefulness ended, because my partner doesn’t want to sound like an American living in the UK. I hope in the future there is an option to select a particular variety of English’s pronunciation.
It doesn’t have the British English accent
I’ve been in the U.K. for quite a long time now so my accent is going more towards the direction of BE in which the ‘r’-s are non-rhotic and it’s not pronounced in the end of the words. This app cannot distinguish between accents and focuses too much on the American pronunciation. I don’t know based on what the app deems someone as a proficient ‘native speaker’. Does it follow the phonetic rules of Standard American which is spoken by a very little portion of the English speaking population? Not to mention in England there are also many dialects and variations of English, would they be sensed as ‘intermediate’ accents? I like the concept of it but it’s far from accurate and it will never be accurate due to the fact that there are numerous accents. Sometimes English speakers have difficulties to understand each other. What I’m trying to say is that when it comes to pronunciation it’s not clear which ones belong to the so called ‘native speaker’ pronunciation.
