Capisci.

disappointed in the new Trope Trainer that it doesn't seem to suuport #Ashkenazi pronunciations at all. even though I have set it as my preference it always defaults to modern mainstream pronunciation which is basically #Sephardi.

#Jwitter #Mazeldon possible rant incoming lol. and like, I vividly remember when my #HebrewSchool switched what pronunciation they were teaching us, when I started to get told I was wrong and made fun of for having tof/sof as a distinction, and so many other little intricacies of pronunciation that just get flattened in modern Hebrew. and I think I was about nine years old, but I swore then and there that I was going to continue to daven the way my zayde did and pronounce things the way my zayde did and nobody could make me change it.

and that's how I've done things the last twenty-four years, so I'm not going to start collapsing my distinctions between consonants and vowels just because that's what is taught now and that's what the software now says.

it's a sort of assimilation that gets shoved on us because it fits better with the desires of the modern political state, as well, and the ever further right party lines. those lines don't have room to preserve and promote the huge variety of #Judaisms and customs other than the mainstream

if it doesn't give the rest of them as options, it no longer works towards the preservation aspect that was integral to the original Trope Trainer. and that's all of our loss.
