I've been learning German now for about 3-4 months and would love some feedback on my accent so far and where it could use some work! I really enjoy this language but some things about it are hard af lol https://voca.ro/1da1ZAyNOVFn

I can't believe that you've only been learning German for 3-4 months. Your pronunciation is great. I especially noticed that you're correctly pronouncing the word ending \[er\] as a schwa (in the word "*oder*") and also the Umlaut in *Fleischbällchen* was correct. Kudos to you!

Hi, It's amazing to see how much progress you've made in just a few months! Pronunciation is often one of the trickiest parts of learning a new language, and it sounds like you're doing really well, especially with those tricky umlauts and schwa sounds.

Your pronunciation is really good considering the fact that you’ve only been learning German for 3-4 months. Not pronunciation related but it’s “Ich bin 32 Jahre” alt, not “Jahren”. “Dreißig” is pronounced with an English s sound. ß= s, not ts. This was the only thing you straight up mispronounced. It sounded like you were using a dark l in Fleischbällchen? The “a” in “alt” should be much shorter. You’re using the same long a in Monaten where it should be a short a. The German short a is like the “u” in “up” but more fronted.
