Note to recorder:
Need your help guys with this text. I need to compare my accent with a native.
Hello, my’ name is Icarus. I'm taking American Accent Training. There's a lot to learn, but I hope to make it as enjoyable as possible. I should pick up on the American intonation pattern pretty easily, although the only way to get it is to practice all of the time. I use the up and down, or peaks and valleys, intonation more than I used to. I've been paying attention to pitch, too. It's like walking down a staircase. I've been talking to a lot of Americans lately, and they tell me that I'm easier to understand. Anyway, I could go on and on, but the important thing is to
listen well and sound good. Well, what do you think? Do I?
I noticed that I accidentally skipped the "of" in "practice all of the time". Sorry! "All the time" without the "of" is more natural.
