#i hate how much i struggle with this kinda southern(???) accent that african-american characters (and people) often have
Note
TWD is a great show but it’s definitely a commitment! There’s lots of spin off from the original series now too. I highly recommend it tho :)
oh yeah judging by just the first ep this is gonna be a LONG one lmao
i really like it so far, thank you for the rec!! also may i add the acting is unexpectedly PHENOMENAL, as in literally first time in my life that my autistic ass has felt the intense emotional moments (namely the breakdown when rick finds his house is empty, and then the other guy (whose name either wasn't given or i didn't understand bc of the accent, boutta check on the wiki) trying to kill the zombie of his wife) together with the characters. unexpected but really really good.
#the special effects are also really good considering they're non-cgi#really impressive all around def gonna keep watching#ask#still getting used to the accents though so i don't yet fully understand all that's being said 😔#i hate how much i struggle with this kinda southern(???) accent that african-american characters (and people) often have#which like isn't a race thing it's just very uhhh- fluent? mumbly? and i sometimes find it hard to understand#working on it though#been trying to improve by listening to ytbers of like all possible ethnicities so i can learn to get used to very different accents#and it works perfectly if i listen to ONE person for a while#but if it's two people with completely different speech styles talking my brain can't switch fast enough and i end up understanding only l#like one of them#//i remember my first time ever doing this was when i was just entering the phase when i started LISTENING to foreign ytbers instead of#only reading english#the first i watched was markiplier and it took a good while to understand him bc of the soft/very fluent way he speaks#then i tried watching jacksepticeye and i AGAIN couldn't understand shit#so i watched him for a while and learned to understand through his accent#then i tried watching mark again and it was back to status quo i didn't understand shit 💀#eventually i decided to 'exercise' by watching them interchangeably (one mark vid - one jack vid - one mark vid so on) to learn to switch#faster#and after like a few weeks i was finally good at it and no longer really have the 'delay'#at least when listening to someone talk for a longer time#in the tv show i still struggle bc it's like one line person1 - one line person2 - back to person1 so on#and i can't switch fast enough so i have to understand a good share of what's happening only from visual cues#working on it but oug. wish there was a subtitles option#//lmao sorry about the accent/language rant it's just been on my mind#and ig it's relevant to my experience watching the show so.
