Mexicans who nearly lose their accent by spending a few yrs in the US
Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 30th, 2024 5:42 PM Author: Contagious Adulterous Casino Nowag So these Mexicans spent time as kids in the US and were able to nearly speak like natives.
I don't believe they sound fully native, but damn close:

Date: April 30th, 2024 5:52 PM Author: Contagious Adulterous Casino Nowag My understanding is that your accent improves when you interact with others who speak the language. You're also speaking.
If you're only listening, your mouth muscles aren't doing the work to change.
Here's ChatGPT take on this:
Improving accent solely by passive listening is challenging. While exposure to English through listening can certainly help with vocabulary, comprehension, and overall language skills, actively practicing speaking is typically necessary to improve accent.
To enhance your accent, it's essential to actively engage in speaking exercises, mimic native speakers, practice pronunciation, and receive feedback from native speakers or language instructors. Additionally, listening to various accents and paying attention to intonation, stress patterns, and rhythm can also contribute to accent improvement. |

in most latam countries, mexico included, there is a ruling white upper crust that live completely detached from the rest of their native brethren. it is almost like they occupy and operate in a different dimension.
they go to different schools, listen and consume different media and are much closer to the american middle class than the rest of their countrymen. |

Date: April 30th, 2024 5:54 PM Author: Contagious Adulterous Casino Nowag WTF do you mean they're not "really Mexicans"?
If you're born and raised in Mexico, but you're white and wealthy, what are you? Oh wait, I know what you mean. You're a whitexican, lmaooo. |

Date: April 30th, 2024 5:57 PM Author: jade autistic mood set theyre not mexicans in the sense of the mexicans who come to the us who you see standing outside home depot and who work in back of your local applebees.
these white mexicans live in their gated communities in mexico and never cross paths w americans. |

Date: April 30th, 2024 6:07 PM Author: Contagious Adulterous Casino Nowag The thread is not about Mexicans standing outside Home Depot in the US.
It is about Spanish-speaking Mexicans. They speak Spanish natively and English as a second language. |

my point may be a bit too nuanced for you |

My poast might be too nuanced for you, in fact.
Salma Hayek has lived in the US longer than the Mexicans I poasted here. But she lived here as an adult. Belongs to the same social class.
Here's her English, proving my point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QK2Kpn3fv6k |
