  • Great comment. She effectively communicates in all those languages, which is impressive. Who cares about her pronunciation mistakes or her accent ! Still, your analysis is interesting to understand the roots of Latin languages and how subconsciously we tend to phonetically use our mother tongue phonetics when communicating using other romanic languages and dialects. It happens to me when speaking specially French or Italian that I cannot avoid but using the tonic syllable of my native language. I always say that, even is not a Latin/greek based language, I love how Swedish pronounce their English: in my experience, kind of trying to communicate efficiently and forgetting, as much as neutrally possible, about the accent. (To be said that later on I learnt that most Scandinavians also have a strong accent when speaking English). I guess that the question is if to be considered a proficient speaker of a specific language, do you need to loose all traits of a foreign accent?












  • Tomatoes are also my first try and currently waiting for a Third round! I also planted Pimiento Habanero, passion fruit, lettuce, basil, coriander, and cannabis being the latter the most difficult one to care for, without a doubt. I have been feeding them home made plant food that I made based on coffee leftovers, ashes, potassium with banana peels and sugar, and some other ingredients that I learnt to use as nutrients. I am very happy with the experience and the result. Still ongoing tbh!
