๐ Spanish Accent Test: How Good Is Your Spanish Accent?
Spanish speakers of English use pure, short vowels, a tapped R and a quick, even rhythm. Some sounds swap to their nearest Spanish match.

How to do a Spanish accent
- Add a short 'e' before words starting with S plus consonant: 'estop', 'espain'.
- Use one short 'ee' for both 'ship' and 'sheep'.
- Tap or roll R's clearly, and soften 'v' into something near a 'b'.
- Give every syllable similar length, a steady, rapid rhythm.
The most common mistake
Slowing it down; Spanish rhythm is quick and syllable-even.
