Hola, acabo de hacer una grabación de mi acento en español. ¿Les parece bueno? ¿Hay algunos errores que tendría que evitar en el futuro?

It was good but it'd be better to hear to actually talking rather than reading.

BTW, do you have an Argentinian teacher or something?

<<agrio, claveteadas, desconfiados>>

They have to be more diphthongised: A-grio ; cla-ve-TEA-das ; des-con-FIA-dos.

In "claveteadas", "ea" becomes a sort of a glide similar to "iá".

Some of your final esses sound a bit like the "th" sound in "thanks"


Otherwise, it's brilliant!! Most words are realised in a way which is very close to native-like speech.

Your realizations of all your "S's" and your "R's" are perfect. And that is the key to get a good Spanish accent. Your T's and D's are quite good too, although they have to be more like an approximant. Similar to the sound in THanks and THey.

The rest is perfecto, your vowels, and you're pronunciation of "allí", "ellos", "brillantes", etc. It's perfect it sounds like The River Plate Spanish, Argentine or Uruguayan.

Keep working on it. You're not far from achieving a Native-like accent.

Where are your teachers from?

You haven't really got a foreign accent. Where are you from? I can't really tell.

Regards.

Thanks for the comments!

I'll work on those points you mentioned, Pete from Peru. That's a great help.

I've had teachers from all over the Spanish speaking world. The Argentinian characteristics I picked up from my ex.

Wow, that's awesome that you can't tell where I'm from. I'm from the US, my native language is English.
