My Colombian fiancee makes fun of me for learning "Puerto Rican" because I listen to a lot of Wisin y Yandel and Alexis y Fido, etc. Lol

I love them!

Qué padre! I'd definitely pay dinero to hear that... :)

Well when I get a laptop for college (assuming it has a webcam/microphone) I'll upload a couple videos :D It's really funny actually, non native speakers assume I'm native. I've fooled a couple teachers before. :)

I honestly wouldn't know what my "accent" would be (other than gringo maybe haha) I have a bit of the Castillian ceceo since I spent about 2 months in Spain; although later I studied a lot more using FSI Spanish so I would guess my accent is probably like a neutral Latin American one.
