Pronunciation Drills

[spelling en uitspraak]
How do you pronounce 'gezellig'? What is the difference between 'eu' and 'ui'? How do you write...? You can use the phonetic keyboard if you are familiar with phonetic symbols.
[Jan. 12, 2008: due to the forum update, the phonetic keyboard has been temporarily disabled.]

Pronunciation Drills

Postby Dora » October 21st, 2006, 8:21 pm

Remember in My Fair Lady where Eliza learns "The rain in Spain..." ? I would like to see (and hear) something like that in Dutch. This is not the same as a tongue twister, but a chance to practice a sound repeatedly in a sentence in order to learn it.

Does anyone know of such sentences? Or would someone like to make some?

In de Nederlandse versie leert Eliza: "Het Spaanse graan heeft de orkaan doorstaan".

Bieneke, is het mogelijk om hier geluid bij te posten, zoals je er ook een plaatje bij kan zetten?

Dat blijkt dus te kunnen.

Even proberen:
Als het goed is moet je hier 'Het Spaanse graan' kunnen horen.

You can also use the "A-Capela"site : http://demo.acapela-group.com/
The bot can be wrong... but it's okay in this case :P , because I say so. :P

You can actually listen to Dutch and Belgian Dutch (=Flemish, so that is what I speak), you will see that the pronunciation is usually the same! (Don't listen to silly stories about Flemings not speaking Dutch but Flemish, you'll do fine anyway :D .)

Is dat op je eigen space of is dat een bijlage?

Mijn ervaring met acapela is dat het niet altijd helemaal goed klinkt, maar ik heb deze zin niet geprobeerd. Voor een eerste indruk is het natuurlijk prima, maar een echte stem klinkt altijd beter, toch?

Waarom probeer je het niet. :)
Natuurlijk is een echte stem beter, maar dit is toch ook handig? Je luistert, als Nederlandstalige, eens naar wat ze op die site zeggen, je geeft je "zegen" en raadt het aan aan de anderen. :-P

Fantastisch, Joke! Wanneer komen de liedjes? :p

En evilbu, we kennen acapela wel, hoor. ;-)  Joke heeft er al vaak naar verwezen (ook op dit forum). Een mooie website, maar er gaat toch niets boven een live-opname.

:lol:
That is good for 'aan', but I could also use some for 'aar', some 'ij' sounds and some 'g' practice and the dreaded 'sch' and who knows what else.

If these do not already exist, should we hold a contest to see who can come up with the best?

Joke, that site would not play for me at all. :(

I am afraid to use acapela to perfect my pronunciation. Won't that make me sound like a computer?

Ik moest nog een leuk liedje uitzoeken :P
Hier is een leuk kinderliedje:
Op een grote paddenstoel
Vervelend dat je niets hoort, Dora. Kun je deze wel horen? Kunnen anderen mij horen zingen?

Annoying that you don't hear anything, Dora. Can you hear this one? Can other people hear me sing?

It's not just that I can't hear it, but I press play and nothing happens at all, except that the counter gets incremented. Maybe I'll try again, perhaps some other browsers?

Let me try a different file host.
I made a shared folder at esnips.com: try this.
Everybody has access to this folder and you can listen to 'Het Spaanse graan' and 'Op een grote paddenstoel' there.
Hope this works for everybody and with less pop-ups.

Je "Spaanse graan" klinkt goed, Dora!

Ik heb weer twee kinderliedjes voor jullie gezongen en ze op  eSnips gezet.

Groetjes Joke

Edit by Bieneke: You can also listen to them it in the mediaplayer below.

Poesje Mauw
"Poesje mauw, kom eens gauw, ik heb lekkere melk voor jou. En voor mij rijstebrij. Oh, wat heerlijk smullen wij!"

[emff]http://www.esnips.com/nsdoc/b4894ad8-764d-4a9d-ad52-fabf039c38b1/?action=forceDL[/emff]

Slaap Kindje Slaap
"Slaap kindje slaap, daar buiten loopt een schaap. Een schaap met witte voetjes, die drinkt zijn melk zo zoetjes. Slaap kindje slaap, daar buiten loopt een schaap."
