Learn American Accenttampa

I always wonder how does my accent sound.

Not my accent in english. I'm well aware I sound stilted and with the some of the usual affectations of a spanish speaker talking in english.

I wonder how I sound to other spanish speaking people, from places different to my own.

What I've heard is that Mexicans have a "singing" accent, whatever that means. I guess it refers to the pacing of our word. Probably with a marked cadence.

Something I'm quite sure is that Mexicans enunciate equally all letters in a word. Every single of them. That would contribute to the "singing" quality? I don't know.

It's mystery for the time being.

Money Spent On Educational Games

Oh my, I haven't used this in a long, long time and I feel like I need to do something about it. Just because.

Alright, so I just bought a toy. A Centinel with Cyclops action figure. It says it's for small kids, but, eh. The Centinel is bulky, shinny and it's smiling; you can't top a smiling killing machine so easily.

I thought about buying the Fing Fang Foom with Iron Man toy but I really don't care too much about a huge magical (I think) dragon. The only thing I really wanted Was the tiny Iron Man toy. I mean, my Centinel looks nice on my desktop, all ready to blast your face off while smiling. I do not think a dragon Would Be Much Better Than That.

Oh yeah. Were These tightly packed toys. I Had to go past Through Three Different layers of duct tape and plastic wire Some Before Being Able to unleash the joy That is playing with toy while being to grown up dude.
