foreign dialects and accents

Post Reply New Topic

Well let me say this. I speak fluent Spanish but I cannot understand Mexican English AT ALL. Mexicans always want to practice their English with me as a way of showing respect for my speaking their language, but they can't pronounce it right. I came up with some fun sentences for them to practice their pronunciation with back when I lived in Mexico.

"He doesn't dust them by the dozen."

"Since she seized Caesar's scissors, she had a seizure."

I told them I wouldn't speak English to them until they could say those two sentences correctly.
