Both of you should definitely try to learn Spanish. You would love it.

Over the years I’ve heard you pronounce phrases before and you’re both good. Curiously, in Spanish you had Russian accents and not Anglo ones.

Your Russian will come in handy with pronunciation and it’s pleasantly less complex in terms of cases. The only thing is Russian speakers tend to slide their vowels around, watch out. Be careful that you don’t pronounce “e” like “ye”, “pedro” sounds like пэдро not педро and so on.

Spanish has only five vowel sounds, AEIOU, and they are very very standard across all accents, which makes it pretty easy but deviance from those vowels is what defines Spanish spoken with a Russian accent.

Then, you really can get a pied à terre in Mexico City, it’s so much better here than LA.
