If you don't care your pronunciation, just disregard my posting. On the course of my studies I've summarized some pitfalls our Chinese always make on English pronuncation.Techniques I've developed to deal with those errors prove really helpful, but it doesn't work for people who are not interested in improving their pronunciation. Plus, pronunciation is not equal to the accent,e.g., US president speaks a typical Texas accent. Best., 此帖于 Apr 9th, 2005 01:11 被 Cool_China 编辑。 |

accent V.S. syntax
Hi! cool_china, Comparing to syntax, accent doesn't matter that much in communication. If you could speak'correct' English, using the right words, phrases, structures..even if your pronunciation is not perfect, your English is accecptible, that is your personal style. The problem for our Chinese folks' English, is not accents, but verbal and syntax. To tell you the truth, I feel your English writing is not natural, sound bizarre. So I really doubt you are in a good positon to instruct Ph.D of UT. English is our second language, believe in life-long learning.buddy. |

Don't get me wrong

Yoyoz, A PH.D candidate of the U of T can instruct me for many things. But I do think some of them should improve their pronunciation. And believe it or not I know a person who speaks quite fluent English. You won't believe that he lives here for only 5 years. |

俺不会英语,就不用英语了,不过我觉得,口音对一个成年的外国人来说,不是交流中最主要的,主要还是有效的表达,特别是作为理工科的PH.D学生来说,研究和写作的能力远远比发音/口音重要,我见过一些在专业领域非常优秀的印度人,口音比中国人重得很,但丝毫没有减弱他们的交流能力。同意上面有位说的,词汇和语法相对重要,特别是对Ph.D.来说,logicality和got the point是presentation中最最重要的。 可怜这位弟兄,遭遇到这么多人的围攻,如果是我,可能都有suicide的想法。 |
