Southern American accent
Where can I look up transcriptions of common English words in this accent? I know the IPA but I only took British English classes in uni (I study Anglistics) and I‘d really like to learn how to do this accent. I know TV shows etc can help a lot but I find it really helpful to learn with transcriptions as well. Is there anything like that? (I know there are several different „Southern“ accents. I‘m not trying to perfect one, I just want to know the basics of how they work in general.)
Hey guys, please give me advice on how to improve my spoken English
Try to also guess where I'm from without looking at my post history :) https://voca.ro/1gqToZwGlGlj

What’s the difference between them?
Hi, I know that they have similar meanings, but there are subtle differences and I haven’t grasped them yet. Could you help me please ? \* It made me reflect -> It kept me thinking \* All about -> above all \* Tremendous -> incredible/amazing/awesome
Is it actually any good for speaking abilities to speak aloud while reading?
I don't know anyone to practice speaking so I planned to speak aloud while reading.
Please rate my accent
