My question is about 3 of the sounds in Esperanto:
I've used the IPA, hope it's clear...
1. 'o' I know should be /o/ however I struggle with this and it often comes out as /ɔ/
2. Same for 'e'. Sometimes I get lucky and I think it sounds like /e/ but sometimes it's /ɛ/ instead
3. 'r'. Some of the time I can manage it OK-ish, but mostly it probably sounds like r in English
My question is, do you think people will still understand me if I use these pronunciations?

I like Czech and Polish's... Just saying.

Roch:Have you tried text to voice translator like the one of Google?Do you mean so that I can listen to how they're supposed to sound? I use Duolingo and I think the recordings on there are quite good quality.
Do you think I would be misunderstood if I used the pronunciations I mentioned above?
Thanks

Roch:Of course you will be understood. As long as someone is "constant" with his own pronunciation, not saying an "a" then an "o," for the same word, in the next sentence... At least, that's my point of view.Thank you!!

Unlike English where a Frenchman's pronunciation of 'cup' might sound like 'cap', or his pronunciation of 'money' might be taken for 'Monet' (the artist).
But, of course, comprehensible doesn't mean elegant or most pleasing to the ear.

(Would there be some clarity to win in using the english sh, ch, zh, dzh, and kh substitutes? I very doubt so!
