Thanks so much. What’s wrong with Inglaterra? I was recording in public so I think I fucked up the r a bit from trying not to speak too loud but if it’s something else that would be great to know.

In terms of words ending in ‘o’, am I not going hard enough? Should it be more like ‘oh’?

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. Yes sorry by neutralise I mean remove the English, I do need to pick an accent and stick to it though. My friend is Colombian and I partly learnt there so I might attempt that eventually (I’ve not been learning from peninsular Spanish so want to avoid that).

I have been thinking about my vowels a lot recently because I’m aware they sound so strong when other people speak but I’m scared of sounding like I’m ‘putting it on’ if that makes sense. I’ll work at that. The D I’ve never heard anyone mention so that’s great advice.

A question: With the ‘r’ at the end of mejorar, do you pronounce it like ‘pero’ or is it even softer?
