ReplyDeleteI have noticed a difference between both pronunciations especially with the sound of the I , since in the American pronunciation we can hear it in 2 ways , upwards the syllable of the tension will be flatter and lower in the tone, while the Canadian pronunciation is short and precise. and i think my pronunciation until now is closer to canadian .
ReplyDeleteThe most important difference between Canadian and American English is that Canadian English is universally very crisp and clean (I've heard some remarkably well spoken construction workers in that country). American English tends to be less precise, with a lot of dropped "t"s and lazy consonants. I think that my pronunciation is Closer to American because I Didn't pronunce the vowel or some Consonants like Canadian, is more difficult to me.
I really think is not much difference.👌
ReplyDeleteI feel that the closest pronunciation is American English.
because his pronunciation does not have as much movement in the jawbone😃 in conjunction with the tongue👅
It sound almost the same, but for me it difficult in anybof those.
ReplyDeleteI think there is not much difference in the Canadian pronunciation that in the American one, except in some words in which one is more open in one than in the other.

ReplyDelete2) Is determinate for the stress or the unstress of the jaw/ is important to mention the influence that the canadian english have fron the French language.
