This is a video of me speaking in my 4 best languages! Including English!
Tell me what you guys think regarding it! If you're a native speaker of any of these languages let me know about my accent and where it sounds like it's from (accents are so cool :P) I'm only 19, and I've only been studying languages since I was 16 so go easy :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_86l6zqINGM&feature=plcp Edited by drp9341 on 16 August 2012 at 5:45pm 8 persons have voted this message useful | |

Nice video, congratulations! I had no trouble understanding you in any of your languages. Your Spanish and Italian were particularly impressive. I really like how you use the appropriate gestures and body language for each language too – it makes it more fun to watch. Your flow and confidence are inspirational. :)

Excellent work. :)
Your Spanish is great, and you sound not far from being a native speaker. Your French was well done. :) It is inspirational that you spoke these languages well despite being a stutterer - keep up the great work! :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

That was good!
Your Spanish and Italian pronunciation are really good. The French part was not bad, and even if you just have a small vocabulary (as you said), you can express yourself properly and the intonation is good too. I would just recommend you to exercise your French pronunciation. Sometimes people make mistakes in pronunciation because they want to speak a little bit faster (me included). So pick any audio or video file in French, listen to it, pause it, repeat it and focus on the way you generate the sound. Then repeat the whole audio/video and speak out loud at the same time. It's just a matter of getting used to it. By the way, if you hadn't told us you were a stutterer, I wouldn't have noticed!!! :-) Edited by Mae on 15 August 2012 at 6:32am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Great video Danny, and welcome back from Peru! Incidentally, which telenovelas did you enjoy watching most on Telemundo? :) Edited by Teango on 15 August 2012 at 12:43pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Thanks for all the feedback everyone!
@Teango I really liked watching "La Reina Del Sur" just because there were a "plethora" of accents to say the least, ranging from Mexican, to Spanish, the Russian, to Arab, so basically it helped me get used to all the different accents. I also used to watch a lot of the show, "Caso Cerrado" on Telemundo, because they have real Latinos in the USA arguing and stuff and telling stories in their everyday Spanish, without trained voices for TV and what not, so that definitely helped me get used to understanding the Spanish spoken in the US, which, if you only learn Spanish through courses, can be tough to understand. (ever hear a dominican?) :D 3 persons have voted this message useful |
