I know. This is difficult - while I am trying to sound natural, I am actually half reading, half reciting the text, trying to remember words that I have to pronounce differently than I thought I know how to pronounce for over 30 years. Too many strings to control at the same time [PLAIN]http://www.bpp.com.pl/IMG/grumpy_borek.png.[/quote]I learned that you should sit like this to practice actively speaking :biggrin::

I am afraid it is pretty random - sometimes I pronounce it this way, sometimes another.
Yes, it's something I notice and is part of the accent and probably hard to change.

I tried to practice my z's with the following sentence
"de zon zakt in de zee"

Ironically that translates to
"the sun sets in the sea"

That would make recording even harder, I don't see how to operate mouse and keyboard in this position.
