people say it's English but English is my second language and it wasn't hard at all. Spanish (or any other Roman language) is harder because you have to conjugate the verb to the pronoun and the preterite, present, imperfect... and in English you don't have to conjugate the verb only for he/she/it and for the preterite, just add -ed.

I am not a native English speaker, and my accent always shows whenever I try to match the accent of a Canadian English speaker.

However, when I speak English with a pirate accent, my native accent is barely noticeable. All of the linguistic prosidic aspects of my English improve when I culture such an accent. Why?

And does that mean that I should always use a pirate accent when I speak English to disguise that other accent?

Following up my original question. I am a writer. My character is a Latina woman (probably from Puerto Rico, but doesn't have to be) living in NYC in a kind of sex in the city scenerio. I'm looking for word in Spanish for vagina which would be light and kind of funny...the way they use '********' on Grey's Anatomy or the way girlfriends would use with each other. I do not want to insult anyone by using a vulgar term. Is there such a word? Would the word for 'cat' (gato) ever be used?

At my university these letters all used the long "I" sound and were Fi, Ki, Si. We didn't have an Xi.

In a book, the author says they should be Fee, Key, Psee, and Ksee (I don't know whether Psee and Ksee are one syllable or PaSee and KaSee)

I am from America, and it seems to me that you people in UK speak some other language than we do. I knwo we speak English, but you speak some sort of gutter talk. Why is that? You invented the language, learn how to speak it! If you dont understand what I am saying, watch ?My Fair Lady" or the Family Guy episode that made fun of it.

I mean I understand there is a difference, and I know that native speakers just automatically know it, but can anyone explain how to know which to use, or do I just have to memorize it for every verb and prepostion?
