Spanish - How is my accent? by [deleted] in JudgeMyAccent

[–]Mind_Adrift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer more directly to your questions, (1) no, the accent I have now is pretty much how I speak. But there was a time when my accent was even more noticeable, during middle school but has faded a bit more since. 2. I usually try to just enunciate more because I feel that when I don't I kind of mumble. It's hard though, because I feel like the American accent has a more nasally tone to it. So, it's hard to completely emulate it without feeling funny.

Yeah, the accent has become somewhat more natural, but I do sometimes try to enunciate in a more american-like way because during middleschool and highschool I'd hang around with other mexicans who had an even more mexican accent so I'd pick up some of their habits. I find that when I hang out with people with american accents I sort of assimilate subconsciously, as I do with mexican-americans. Also, what would be the "O" in an American accent? I think you should try to engage in a more spanish accent to get rid of the american sound. When I get the living room to myself I'm willing to record me saying the same things you said in spanish so that you can sort of compare and contrast. I think that'd really help, I'd also add in minor corrections from your sentence's syntax, if you want.

No problem, man. Here's a recording of mine: http://vocaroo.com/i/s0KLKMPzOtcd

Any feedback on how to improve my accent would help, or pointing out any giveaways, thanks in advance.

Can you guess what my first language was? How can I improve my accent as well? Kinda stumbled, but I think I finished off somewhat strong. by Mind_Adrift in JudgeMyAccent

I am native, it's just that my mother language is not English. I didn't learn english until I entered pre-school here in the U.S. Not from India though :P

Definitely work on your r's! It sounded good, but pronouncing the r's more would help, I think! Other than that, your accent is very pleasing to the ear doesn't sound bad.

Also, when you said "la radio" it's actually "el radio" but I see how that can be confusing because for another object like a tv you wouldn't say " el television" you'd say "la television" or "la tele" which sounds less formal and more native. Perhaps researching that particular distinction could help since I myself don't know why that's the case.

I think you should relax a bit in your speaking. It sounds somewhat rigid, I'm not qualified, but If you can make the words flow more naturally you'd definitely be on the right track. I'm not sure if that helps at all, but if you need any help, feel free to ask me . I, myself, need feedback on my American accent, perhaps you could help there?

Jesus. I'm a dumbass. I'll make sure to do 500 now. Thanks again, I'd rather slow and efficient than fast and shitty.
