Dulu di Seattle, gw punya housemate orang midwest yg suka banget benerin pronounciation gw. Adam namanya. Walaupun tetep gagal sih. Aksen Jawa/Indo gw masih kental banget. Tapi ini bbrp tips dari dia yg gw inget bgt sampe skrg.
Kalau nemu “t” diantara vowel sounds, keluarin quick “d” sound. Jd better -> bedder, it is -> id is, notice -> nodice, etc. Kalau nemu “t” setelah huruf “n”. T nya silent (ga perlu diucapin). Center -> cener. Wanted -> waned, tweNTy, iNTernet,etc.
Kalau nemu “t” sebelum “n”, n nua diucapin hard diakhir. Certain -> cert-ein, mountain -> mount-ein, written,curtain,etc.
Beberapa kata dgn silent v or w: answer -> an-ser, draw -> dro, grow, know, low, own, saw, show, slow, snow.
Bbrp kata dengan silent “l” : could->coud, half -> haf, should, talk, walk, and would.
Bbrp kata dengan silent “l” : could->coud, half -> haf, should, talk, walk, and would.
Kalau akhiran sebuah kata suaranya sama ama awalan kata berikutnya, cukup diomongin sekali. With them -> withem, first time -> firs’time.
T + y diakhir boleh dilafalin as “choo”. what about you? -> what abou’ choo. Choo as in curang.
D + y diakhir boleh dilafalin as “joo”. Did you finish yet -> di’joo finish yet?
Pake y or w untuk konek huruf vokal. Co-ed -> co’wed. Created -> cree-yaded. Thanks Adam!! Sorry ga berhasil ilangin aksen kentel gw. lol
Terakhir. Ini coba lagi mau ngomong apa: He’s the man the’die wanned y’du’ meet….
