ahh that makes sense though. because you were trained in both. makes you enunciate things differently than someone who was only trained in a single language as a kid. |

I've never been to an English speaking country, and I grew up watching British sitcoms, so I know my accent sounds weird :D
edit: Actually, I lived in the US when I was 2 years old, but I don't really think that counts :p |
your english speaking accent is like a mashup of what seems like maybe 3 different accents. a british type in the way you say some words, the spanish like tongue use, and im not sure what else.

You have a better english accent than me. :p Quite 'BBC' that is proper english.
One tip with that is not to say "draw-ring" rather than drawing. The english home county types tend to do that. And it is incorrect. (not that you did but with that type of accent they do) |

Spanish speakers puzzle me. A guy from Cuba once said I had a thick Portuguese accent, some guys from Peru thought I was from Mexico, and my last Spanish teacher thought I was from Spain. What a bloody mess:p
But, yeah, it's a wonderful language to learn, Dervish... and it's quite hilarious too :D |

In Spanish:
"Dos cervezas, por favor" [doughs sir-BAY-thahs, por Fah-bor]
In Portuguese:
"Duas cervejas, por favor" [DOO-uhs sir-VAY-zhahs, poo FAH-voe]
(I can't record a sample right now, my girlfriend is asleep) |
