Learning Spanish

[Rich One]

Did Maurice Chevalier work on his accent to sound more American? Did Dick Van Dyke work on his accent to sound more English in Mary Poppins? Well, okay, maybe he should have done but unless you are aiming for a career as a Spanish speaking undercover superspy then having an accent can be an endearing trait. At least that's what the waitress in the café told me this afternoon.

Lol . My mother loved Maurice Chevalier. Most likely, Chevalier memorized the Lyrics..?
But to carry a decent phone/direct conversation with the Bank, AFIP or Immigration you need more than a cute accent (to order a coffee). Better then Maurice..!

Some English speakers get frustrated when they not understood..! Phonetics is the key. Practicing with a specialist, can certainly soften the Gringo accent.
