How does the accent of a native spanish-speaker sound when speaking English?
It depends. If the native Spanish speaker have learned English in the appropriate environment, my case, you won't be able to detect a Spanish accent. Otherwise, you'll hear the accent of their locality. For example: Those from Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay will sound like they're singing when they talk something a bit like the Italians speak(I very much like it). the Colombians also sound like they sing when they talk, but in a very different style. If their command of the English is good, the Venezuelans talk will be quite fast. The Peruvians, Bolivians and Ecuadorians will sound like the idea you may have of a Spanish speaker speaking English; together with the Central Americans. In regards to the Mexicans, it pretty much will depend on which region of Mexico are they from; since each region has a very distinctive accent. Now, keep in mind that this answer applies to those native Spanish speakers that did not learn English in childhood, or did not have the opportunity to learn it in a way that erase their usual accent. Also, for anybody else who gets to read this answer, it is not meant as an insult to anybody. As a native Spanish speaker, born and raised in Latin America, who had the opportunity to deal with people from all over the continent, I have the moral authority to express the differences that we have. If you still want to fell offended, well go ahead es prerrogativa tuya (is your prerrogative).
What is a midwestern accent?
A Midwestern accent is characterized by a lack of strong regional markers and is often considered neutral or "General American." It typically involves pronunciations that are relatively close to the standard American English accent, with some subtle characteristics such as a tendency to pronounce the "a" sound in words like "bag" or "can" without as much nasalization.
How did we get the American accent while the people in the 17th Century still spoke like Englishmen?
In fact, it is the English accent that has changed. In the seventeenth Century, English speech sounded much more like American speech than it does now. What we call the English, or BBC accent is a late invention of the upper classes, in deliberate imitation of upper-class French. Most English people spoke in a bewildering variety of regional dialects and accents, some of which developed into the various American regional accents when brought to these shores. Transplanted linguistic communities are very conservative, retaining old forms and pronunciations long after they have been lost in the Mother Country, and so it is safe to say that the "American accent" is older than the "English accent."
How do you spell yes in Spanish?
It is spelled 'sí' with an acute accent* on the 'i'.It is pronounce like the English word 'see' only the 'i' is much shorter than in English.* An acute accent is a small diacritical mark above the letter that is written like the forward slash [ / ] on your keyboard -- from the lower left to the upper right.Accent (diacritical) marks are very important in other languages as, without them, it can often change the meaning of the word. In this case, 'si' (without the accent) means 'if' or 'whether' depending on the context in a phrase or sentence.
