Alberto - I wish I knew about your videos when I was learning Spanish.

In terms of your pronunciation of English, I would not worry about it at all. You, of course, have an accent, but you sound fine and totally understandable. There were very few things I noticed.

The only word I could not understand was "literature". I could not understand what you were saying until I saw the word in the video.

In many words you put the emphasis/accent on the wrong syllable, particularly longer words. Stamina, beginner, intermediate, paragraph. The way you say intermediate is quite difficult to understand and I probably would not have understood it but for the fact that I could see the word and it was obvious what you were going to say after beginner.

Also, at one point you used the word "childs" for the plural of child instead of "children."

I am not being critical. I think your English is great. I appreciate the effort you put into making your language learning videos.

You are very kind. I don't have opportunities to speak English and you gave me feedback about my pronunciation. Your comments are very useful for me. I need this kind of advice. Thank you.

If you are learning Spanish, you can practice the Listening-Reading method with this video. I read aloud a Wikipedia article about YouTube.

English text I translate in Spanish. Text in English and audio in Spanish.
At the end I read a short Spanish text.

I hope it is helpful.
