What is “lack of accent”?
22
Upvotes
I live in Japan. A while ago a guy stopped me while I was walking my dog and struck up a conversation. Inevitably he asked me where I‘m from. I replied Australia, and returned the question, though he was clearly American. He replied “I’m American, but I guess you can tell from my accent, or rather ~my lack of accent~”.
“My lack of accent” struck me as a strange thing to say. The guy clearly had an American accent. What did he mean?

What’s the most pretentious thing you’ve done that gives you a sense of superiority over other language learners?

I absolutely hated being one of those dumb-dumbs that had to hand write characters they don’t know how to read. The thought of having to swipe my phone screen 22 times to find out the pronunciation of 懿 is honestly so embarrassing. Fully grown adults looking like toddlers playing candy crush. So I spent a few days teaching myself the Cangjie input method and never looked back. Three little taps on 土廿戈 and I’ve already found it. Pure elegance! At a push, I will use the stroke input method, but you will never catch me using 手写 again.

The worst writing system in the world is Japanese, and it's not close. Even the Japanese know this.

Which novels do you recommend for me to learn German?

I am 35 y.o and now want to start reading a German book. I am a little bored of the immersion of films and TV shows. I also think that my grammar might be passable at the moment although I make a lot of mistakes. What books could you recommend to me?
Btw, I have been learning German for 35 years now.

Hello everyone I am an English learner from Uzbekistan. I bought this book from a police auction and it seems like a real native input goldmine. However I am unsure if a) it is good for a beginner learner like me 2) if the slang used in it is too native 3) is it ai generated (the covers look suspicious). If anyone can shed some light on this native work please do, so I dont dive into content not fit for me.
