Dictionary review transcription



 “What else is there to see? You have got the word family that means that there are variations of the word like varying, variable, variation – that should be the noun for example and also the usage examples in different areas. So in the business world or all together in medicine and science. So a grade can vary for example and other stuff like this. It is quite comfortable.”

At the beginning I have to mention that it is quite strange to hear the own voice in a video or recording. It sounds a bit oddish the first time you listen to it, but you get used to it. I personally have to criticize my conclusion sentence. I really should have chosen another one, because it does not fit at all. Quite comfortable could be the statement on a new sofa you have recently bought. The way I have pronounced usage examples was a catastrophe. If somebody did not know what I meant, he probably would not understand it. In my opinion I have pronounced and stressed the words varying, variable, variation correctly, which made me feel content. After having heard this recording, my aim is to improve my pronunciation and to gather new words for beginning a sentence – so is not appropriate at all. Generally, if you write down what you or another one has said, you will find mistakes you would not have done in a written text, because you may read it again and correct eventual mistakes, speaking however is a spontaneous action and needs a lot of practice and fine-tuning.
