Dude rocks up with an apparently supernatural ability to correctly pronounce even invented languages. Still pronounces it “oovyoolar”. I was tickled :)
I feel like this for german somehow, and once I was telling some 30 english speakers about some distinction in a different language between an intervocalic d͡z and t͡s and not one of them heard the difference between the two sounds edit, this needs context: if you know about the dynamics in music, mezzo- is pronounced in english as /ˈmɛt͡soʊ/, but in italian, which it approximates, it's /ˈmɛd.d͡zo/, making one think the actual english approximation would be /ˈmɛd͡zoʊ/, and interestingly as well, /met.t͡so/ in italian, though rare, can mean overripe or soggy. "soggy-piano", then a native italian speaker proceeded to not hear the difference at all and completely tell me that's not what mezzo (/ˈmɛd.d͡zo/) meant. Obviously, they were never educated in italian so they never knew the rare word, but it was still shocking that a native italian speaker doesn't hear that sort of difference
@@help-im Have them recognize the difference by using minimal pairs in English: /dz/ as in "sides", /ts/ as in "sights". Or "trades"/"traits", or other similar pairs. Yes, I know in English it’s not an actual affricate, nor is it geminated, but at least the distinction is there.
I literally thought the terms “glottal stops” and “uvular plosives” were just more awful sounding nonsense words, but after a google search, they make much more sense.

@@mr.scatman3131 No, look it up. The girl with the green hair used to live in the Netherlands for a while (also she has an Dutch ex-girlfriend). There is literally a street in Amsterdam called the Gibraltarstraat which she probably remembered from her time staying there. But yes, most Dutch people would only recognise ''Straat van Gibraltar'' since that's a bit more iconic than a random street in Amsterdam. I think that's what also influenced the direction of the sketch since she still remembered the pronounciation a bit (even though it still has an English accent). Her pronounciation is on point besides the fact that Dutch native speakers have no problem with the ''G'' which English speakers find a bit more difficult. You can she see she is using an exaggerated way of moving her mouth to pronounce the G (might just be for the sketch tho?). She also ends ''Gibralterstraat'' with a ''th'' sound while it should just end with ''t''.
As a fellow conlanger I can confirm we are weird nerdy obsessive freaks with too much time on our hands. But none of you are allowed to say that cause then it's bullying!
