My pronunciation and intonation
Hi,
Can you please listen to my recording of the following paragraph and then tell me whether there are some problems with my pronunciation and intonation?
The recording is here:
Here are the texts:
Eric and Susan are very good friends. They grew up together, they went to high school together, and they went to college together. Now Eric lives in California, and Susan lives in New Jersey. Even though they live far apart, they’re still very good friends. They write to each other very often. He writes her letters about life on the West Coast, and she writes him letters about life on the East Coast. They never forget each other’s birthday. Last year he sent her some CDs, and she sent him a wallet. Eric and Susan help each other very often. Last year he lent her money when she was in the hospital, and she gave him advice when he lost his job. Eric and Susan like each other very much. They were always very good friends, and they still are.
If the native level is 10, and the worst level is 1, where is my level according to you?
Thank you very much.

stephenlearner If the native level is 10, and the worst level is 1, where is my level according to you? Hard to say. You have a strong accent, but I can understand you fine except when you go too fast, and you seem fluent enough.

- Hard to say.
- You have a strong accent, but I can understand you fine except when you go too fast, and you seem fluent enough.
- 5, but esthetically, 4.
- Two things I would mention: Hit the consonants harder, and practice the L/R distinction.

Hard to say. You have a strong accent, but I can understand you fine except when you go too fast, and you seem fluent enough. So, mechanically I give you a 6.5, but esthetically, 4.
