I have done a new recording . I have been keeping working hard on German , i have been concentrating
much more on listening and a bit on reading though ,nevertheless every once in a while i like to try to say something . Here is the link : http://m.soundcloud.com/alberto-avanzini/sounds-from-gioved- morning . What do you think ? I think i have done a couple mistakes with the article declension and probably some others . 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

All in all, your pronunciation is quite good. You made a couple of minor mistakes, for example "wenn ich das Video gedreht habe," but all German phonemes were pronounced correctly.
(English "when" is usually "als" in German if you're referring to past events. For more information see this website.) Edited by Doitsujin on 06 February 2014 at 12:08pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Although you do use wenn when referring to an event that frequently occurred in the past.

Sounds pretty good. I didn't think of using SoundCloud to keep recordings of myself
talking. I love your accent with the German language. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

But in those sentences "wenn" usually means "whenever." For example: Whenever she saw me she waved at me. = Jedes Mal, wenn sie mich sah, winkte sie mir zu. If you meant a different construction, please post it in this thread. IMHO, English speakers probably mix up "wenn" and "als," because "when" and "wenn" sound similar and are often used in the same constructions in both languages. 1 person has voted this message useful |
