Yo! I'm jccbm (pronounced "jccbm") but I accept JC or Jon for short.
I stream a lot of variety content, but recently stumbled into Duolingo Speedrunning. I've been having quite a blast learning different languages, so I'm channeling all that content into this RU-vid channel for you guys to watch in a shorter, memey-er format. I might delve into some more language-related content in the near future, so stay put.
fas les neutres molt millor que molts catalans nadius!! El so LL aparentment és complicat, sempre veig que costa molt a no nadius. Ara només et falta arribar al final boss del català.. els 👹👹PRONOMS FEBLES 👹👹M'encanta com entens i coneixes la fonètica, de debò ets un crack!!
dona and dones sounds the same, and all other words sounds the same :D its weird? well, weird is to have many similar words and they all sounding different like in English, Im sorry but saying something about pronuntiation as an English speaker makes no sense :D English is the most nosense about pronuntiation :D
@@jccbm I still like simplicity on some things in English, because in both Catalan and Spanish there are some complex gramatical things .... and your spanish is very nice! ;)
In duolingo you are learning Barcelona's Catalan, but western catalan (Lleida, Tarragona and Valencia basically) do not differenciate between stressed and unestressed vowels, and it is perfectly valid, hopr that helps!!
Hey!! Loved your video, but just so you know, around the west of Catalonia we dont pronounce stressed vocals like in the east; basically, we say it how it is, for example home is literally how you say it isn't!!! Also that's a big difference in schools between the east and the west, because here they dont make us study e and a different pronunciations bc we already say it how it's written and do not misspell a instead of e!!! Btw your accent is just incredible
I’m Welsh we all had to learn Welsh in school, when we would play Welsh games it was always the best feeling when you got someone out in a game after they got you out😂
Thanks a lot for the video! I’m here for the first time and was really impressed by her especially when she spoke Russian, because she has quite good pronunciation, in my opinion (I’m a native Russian speaker). What’s her first language?
No te conocia y me ha sorprendido tu español y tu catalan, 10/10, de verdad, sobretodo la pronunciacion y la cadencia al hablar. En el español las palabras se concectan entre ellas, por ejemplo, "hola amigo" se dice mas como "Holamigo", un error muy comun en angloparlantes que aprenden español es no juntar las palabras de esta manera, lo que suele identificar como pronunciacion de guiri o gringo Y el amor que demuestras al catalan se agradece, es una lengua muy odiada por muchos españoles por razones historicas y politicas.
Impressive! Worth mentioning, regarding the carrot subject - Northeastern dialect uses "carota" as well instead of "pastanaga". Several words do change there, as well as south/westwards. "Tomata" is used instead of "Tomàquet". Funny language, gets even better when you learn connections with previous Celtic/Iberian pre-Roman languages.
In case you are curious about the G / J change in Spanish/Catalan words, there was a Spanish author, named Juan Ramón Jiménez (usually written Giménez with a G) that had a strong opinion about this issue. He thought that many words had useless sounds, especially in words that have letters with the same sound, like is the case of G and J, so he decided to stop using one of them at all. That's why he wrote his surname like Jiménez and other words that had the sound GE / GI he changed them to JE / JI. He also did that with other letters like C / Z. He considered those sounds to be useless and in his words: "I hate the useless. And I truly believe that you should write how you speak, not the other way around." I hope you like the info!
The weird vowel pronunciation is mostly from oriental Catalan (the one spoken in Barcelona). But occidental Catalan tends to pronounce the vowels more clearly, in the sense that the a and e sound clearly differently even if not streased. Personally the Barcelona accent sounds weird to me 😂
