They needed to put the Colombian last. I think everyone was copying her 😂

[irisgomez]

Everyone’s accents are beautiful. Embrace it, don’t “remove” it !!

[julissa]

I hated when the first girl said that she hated her accent and wanted to get rid of it :( I used to think the same but our accents are okaaay, they're part of us, as long as it's understandable.

[mr.cooper]

Me encanta cuando ya entran en confianza porque se empiezan a reir de la forma en que pronuncian y aprenden de como lo dicen las demás, y como se dice correctamente.

[joaopaulodossantosungaro]

"Latinos" but Irene is from spain


Pd: Now (one year later) I know Spain is also latino. Being latin does not mean being from south or center america.

[SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

I just love the different accents they have. That's the beauty of a language. Countries like Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua all speak the same language, but overtime have each created their own variety of said language that makes them proud of who they are. Language is a wonderful thing. And by learning other languages, we learn more about each other, and open up to the other cultures surrounding us. Making us all glad that we're on a planet as great as this one. Showing just how important it is to save it.

I'm so impressed with Cristina from Chile! Teaching herself English!!! Brava!

[kevinschmidt]

I am learning English by myself so hearing the girl from Chile speak so well is very inspiring... 👏👏👏

[ricardohinojos]

My sons are Mexican Americans and they laugh at me for my accent; I speak English, French and of course Spanish, I'm proud of my accent!

[Arohass]

All accents are beautiful and everyone has one. Every single human has an accent no matter where their were born. Miss Irin embrace yours as it is beautiful.

[aguhera]

00:35 sé que no fue la intención de la chica cuando lo dijo, pero si estás aprendiendo inglés y eres de latinoamérica tu acento es hermoso y tiene una carga histórica y cultural importante. lo esencial de aprender una nueva lengua es entenderse, no disfrazar nuestro acento porque jamás vamos a llegar al nivel de un hablante nativo, pues no lo somos.

[Charl_es]

Dude, I wonder if each female member from Spain is cheerful, beautiful, funny and enjoyable like Andrea, Claudia and Irene as well, Irene's laughs are the best 😂

[yumyum]

Never remove your accent. It's beautiful and a part of your identity!

The ladies did great! This took me back to when I was younger. My family travelled a lot so I learned Spanish first because I was born in a Spanish speaking country, then I was introduced to German which I forgot when we left Germany, but English OMG, even though my father was a native English speaker I remember struggling with the fact that the words were not pronounced as seen, like the word the girls mentioned, "Colonel" and many others. Until today I have to say certain words in my head and seperate them into chunks to be able to spell them correctly, "Wednesday" is one of them, would always get it marked wrong on my assignments lol. Reading in English was something else, I remember the feeling of wanting to cry in school because of the stress of wanting to read faster in English, and it didn't help that I barely did any schooling before second grade. I remember that my teacher called my mom one time to tell her that I did great work but I did not finish my assignments on time. My mom asked me and I told her that I wanted to do things perfect, which looking back now I was being too hard on myself at such a young age😅 just because I wanted to do a good job. I eventually came to enjoy reading in English a lot but I certainly still read faster in Spanish. The great thing is that I was a great imitator as a child so I eventually learned to sound like a native, but then now it will happen that sometime during the year someone will ask me to repeat a word and I have to repeat and enunciate slowly, it doesn't happen very often now but when it does I become that little girl again self-conscious of the way I speak. I understand many of the girls' sentiments. Keep it up girls! You are all beautiful no matter what language you speak❤

As a native English speaker in the United States I felt all the ladies did great! There are words I even have trouble saying sometimes so please don't feel bad. I grew up with my dad whose fifth language he learned fluently was English. He first learned Russian, Greek, German, Italian, and the English so I grew up with him sometimes mispronouncing English words or phrases. I remember him saying how hard English could be to learn because of words that sound alike such as, pear, pair, and pare. And the word cobweb would through him off, saying it's not a cob of corn, he would sometimes say cow web instead. I remember him saying this lady thought she was two good shoes and one bad foot. I'm thinking what? Then he repeated it. Then I realized he was trying to say, she thinks she's miss goody two shoes, like she's better than everyone else! It's an expression. Please embrace your accents! I love them all! 💗

In Irin's defence, she pronounced "squirrel" the way she learnt it which is probably British English so technically she wasn't wrong 🤷🏻‍♂

[fabialex]

I'm so happy there is finally someone from my country, the Cuban girl, she's so good. I hope she keeps appearing in World Friends.

[AverytheCubanAmerican]

To be fair to Irin, the way they said squirrel is the British way to say it. The English taught in places like Singapore, India, and Europe is British English. Had a feeling Hayleen was actually born in the states based off her very American accent, most likely Miami. And us Cubans say refrigerador the same way the rest do, don't know what she's on about. Unlike other ethnic Cubans in the US, I was born and raised in the NYC metro. And for a few years of my life when I was a kid, I lived in NJ in a neighborhood surrounded by Dominicans, so my Spanish is a mix of Dominican and Cuban words with a New York accent. Cuban Spanish is influenced by Canarian Spanish thanks to Canarian migration which can confirm as my great grandma was from the Canary Islands. There's also African influence like in the phrase ¿Que bola, asere? (What's up, buddy?) in which asere and bola come from the Nigerian Efik and Igbo languages respectively.

NYC is actually pretty important to Cuba because it's where the Cuban revolutionaries like José Martí stayed before returning to Cuba to fight for independence. NYC is also where the Cuban flag was designed! As a gift to NYC, the Cuban government gave a statue of José Martí on horseback in 1965 which you can find on the southern side of Central Park by 6th Ave.

The thing about English is that it has a lot of borrowed words from other languages so pronoucings words are not always going to match the spelling. It can even be hard for native speakers as well. But you all are doing well. Keep up the good work.

[bonjouritsready]

I’m glad they pointed out that the British pronunciation of squirrel does include the ‘i’ sound. Just goes to show that even with this looking at Spanish accents speaking English, there’s still discrepancies between the English speaking English accents 😂 I was confused when she was bopping the girls for saying it the British way as I’d never say it as swqurrrrl
