Mood swings, adventures in pronunciation, and harmonicas

Jan 02, 2011 23:37

✿ I've been having mood swings all day. There's no explanation for it, and the only conclusion I can come to is that two days home away from work is enough to drive me nuts. My family, I tell ya', they're enough to make anybody loony ( Read more... )

I'm glad you finally found time to study. (Haha, now I have to get back on it or you'll get ahead of me!) Let me know if you find a trick to remember u, y, and ö, 'cause they still all register the same way in my head.

And that hat looks so soft! *A* And cute.

Hm, don't know if this helps, but u can never be paired with y, ä or ö in a word that's not a compound word. E and i play with everyone, a, o and u / ä, ö and y only like each other (and e+i).

Likewise, you can pair up the vowels: a+ä, o+ö, u+y.

Oh, vowel harmony! I know about that! It's the pronunciation that gets me. I can never remember which one make which sound because they all sound the same to me.

I still have problems with ö, can't quite get the hang of that one.

Argh, u and y. I have problems with it too. 8| Like, I usually remember what y sounds like, but I have trouble remembering u, except that "it sounds different than y". Sometimes it helps if I remember how it sounded when a friend of mine tried to pronounce "Yuu" with Finnish pronunciation in a recording, buuuut usually I forget it.

We can almost be hat-buddies! Mine's the same style as yours, just different animal. :D

I swear, if I had got my morning coffee yet I would have painted Snu's screen at the comment about blowjobs = playing harmonica. I'm still trying to figure out what it means. You give a blowjob by blocking wrong holes with your tongue and breathing in through the right? Rest assured if anyone did to my harmonica anything resembling a blowjob I, I, I, I WOULD LET THEM KEEP IT. Yes.

I WOULD LET THEM KEEP IT - Same here, seriously. The thought of someone abusing it like that is just... BUH why would someone even think it's similar.

(Wait a second -- I don't think I knew that you play! If it'd been mentioned, I'd forgotten)
