Good evening Mr. [이름]!
Thank you very much for answering your homework. Good job on that one.
And with regards to what I have said that you have a French accent, I said that because it is my first time to hear you and I just based your accent from the way you speak. Maybe because you are living now in Paris that is why you have been accustomed on how French are speaking. I also noticed your Korean accent like how you pronounce words ending in \"GE\".
Moreover, with regards to the differences between American and British, here are the following information which I can give you.
General American pronunciation is rhotic, which means that the letter r is always pronounced. While Bristish pronunciation
non-rhotic, which means that the letter r is usually “silent”, unless it is followed by a vowel. Here’s how it works:
In words like car, tower, inform and first, r is silent (r is not followed by a vowel).
In words like red, foreign, print, r is pronounced (r is followed by a vowel).
Which one should you choose? To choose between American and British pronunciation, you need to answer two questions: 1. which one will be more useful to you? 2. which one will be easier to learn for you?It is only you who could answer these questions Mr. [이름].
But in my case, American English would be a good choice. It is may be the king of schools, coursebooks and dictionaries, but most popular, real-world content (movies, TV series, podcasts, Web videos, etc.) features American speakers. Because I was learning American English, I could practice my pronunciation while watching my favorite TV shows and playing my favorite video games.
So the choice is yours Mr. [이름].
I will see you then tomorrow.
Thanks a bunch! Nice to meet you!
Always,
Kathrine ^^
