Gość: Nevermind Re: 'ch' again IP: *.chello.pl 07.01.09, 21:18 Heh, and i heard a word "my" said in a various of ways, not to mention most of the words in english ;] That's obvious that you've heard different accent than i heard. And i don't understand the question, if you heard it pronounced, why do you how is it pronounced? ;] English has many accents... cheers Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
ann_a30 Re: 'ch' again 07.01.09, 23:28 Well, I've been living long enough in the UK to notice different accents in different parts of the country or even cities and towns. But I don't think it's just another accent. It is a sound that doesn't exist in 'proper' English (or I haven't come across with). But now I can hear it every day and the words 'broch' and 'loch' are written on the signposts. So atually it exists in English but it's Scottish English. My question is: how should I pronounced this sound without imitating Scottish accent? How would you, Jonathan, pronounce it? Would you mix your English accent with some Scottish prenunciation?

jeanie_mccake Re: 'ch' again 09.01.09, 14:28 The 'ch' in 'loch' is pronounced the same as in other Scots words like dreich, wheech and keech. English folk are actually much worse at pronouncing Scottish place names (Auchtermuchty, Lochwinnoch, Ayr) than Polish ones. Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
jonathan.oakley Re: 'ch' again 09.01.09, 20:20 Yes..standard English pronounced in the local dialect can be confusing..the Scottish language does have its own words ("loch" being one of them) with Germanic and Scandinavian roots...the "ch" I would pronounce as an aspirated "k" as in the German "ach". I have problems understanding some Scots when they start to speak...but thats all part of the fun! Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
ann_a30 Re: 'ch' again 10.01.09, 17:57 Thank you. Yes, it's fun... Especially when you have to ask them to repeat what they were saying. At lest twice... And the Shetlanders have such a horrible accent that you woder if they speak English at all... Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
