I am a Mexican, trying to learn Japanese. I have been studying for the past 5 or 6 months now. I know and understand a lot. I understand the basic gist of the video, but I still have trouble forming my sentences. I find the Japanese pronounciation very easy, but I am wondering if spanish speaking people have a noticeable accent when speaking Japanese. (Japanese people have a bit of an accent when speaking spanish btw, especially that they mix the l's and r's and stress some words incorrectly.)
I cant help but stress my words incorrectly sometimes like when i speak spanish. i also roll my r's to much. i didnt know quite how to phrase this question, but just what would i sound like with a light spanish accent? is it exotic, or difficult to understand? what connotations come with it, if that makes sense. what would you think if you heard me speak japanese?
This is a Mexican speaking Japanese, doing a speech presentation in a class in Japan. (He is a bit more fluent than me though)
If a Japanese language speaker were to hear him, what part would they think he is from? Osaka, Tokyo, Okinawa, Kyoto?

My neighbor, who is Mexican, has mowed my lawn without my asking but I want to pay him & offer this job throughout the summer. I don't speak spanish. It's hardly racist, and this is the going rate where I live.
I'm doing a presentation for my Ethics & Values class. My group is doing stereotyping. How do you stereotype different ethnic groups, specifically Mexicans? This isn't meant to hurt or harm. It is an effort to get people to think about this and to know that it is an ethical issue. I need information on how this is both harmful and helpful. I know that this is a harsh, tough topic to speak about, but I need all the help I can get.
I can't seem to figure out. Our teacher assigned us to find out what language they are speaking from this random video as extra credit but I have no idea.
I'm applying for a job as the hostess as Trejo's Mexican Grill & Bar. I know some Spanish (Greetings, Numbers, Pronunciation, Small sentences, etc...). What do you think I should know just in case a Spanish-Speaking person came in? Plus, there are about 3 waiters there who speak fluent Spanish and English, I don't want to distract them by asking them to translate... if you catch my drift lol. & if you have any tips on being a hostess, let me know!! haha bytheway,I'm 16 this is my 2nd job.
What I ALREADY know:
Hello, Good Bye, How are you?, 1-100, Excuse me, How many?, Do you need anything else?, Bless you (after a sneeze), Thank you, Please, You're welcome. And a few more! lol
Like some korean, chinese, and even some mexican uses english like in their movies and sentence. I'm not saying that they can not use the english language. It's like they don't have their own word.
Answer= Because America is not England. Spanish Language is the second most spoken in America. ( USA ).
I will vote for that candidate who speak better Spanish, for the most fluent Spanish Speaking American Presidential candidate .
Mexican-American & Democrat, A -Plus.
So do all of Central & South America. Why is our nationality being ignored for this generic nonsense?. It's the Chinese, the Americans, the French, the Italians, the Spaniards, the English, the Germans, etc. We're Mexicans, Panamanians, Colombians, Cubans -- we are Hispanic because we speak Spanish. We are not Italians, we are not Latins, we don't speak Latin.
I read a lot of anti-immigrant chatter here, but I notice that more and more Americans are using the same tonal "sentence end rise" typical of Mexican street Spanish. Calling it "Valley-speak" may fool some people, but discerning polyglots can spot it immediately. It is particularly prevalent in young people and I've detected it on both coasts. The only other instance of this type of intonation occurs in certain Irish populations, but that variation is developed locally, without outside influence..
Is this one a precursor of things to come, ese?
Chukie411 & others:
I'm sure it is not intentional. In that sense language is organic and it evolves.
The intonation I refer to is when the end of a sentence is said in a higher tone than the beginning. It's one of the characteristis of California "Valley talk." You can also hear it in 90% of teen movies.
Be the way, Spanish & English are 2 of my favorite languages, so I'm OK regardless of the outcome.
Christopher: It can't make sense if you don't read it. I'm referring to intonation, not particular phrases of vocabulary.
And you're asking ME to use English?? Hee Hee.
Rosebuds & whatdoiknow:
I never said I disapprove of the change. I'm fine with it.
I have to write a persuasive essay for U.S. History, and I'm supposed to provide at least 3 reasons why the Mexican-American war was wrong and unjustified. Please & Thank you!
My mom is mexican and I dont speak spanish fluently but I do understand some, But she says that SPaniards speak very nasty & use alot of curse words, is that true?
I told her but Mexican speak alot of bad words too, but she Says to me Spaniards speak especially nasty like it is Normal For them to speak nasty that way.
Is that true? Im confused why my mom is saying this.
Mexican United States is the official name of Mexico
Spanish is the official language in Mexican United States.
Is Mexico the largest Spanish speaking & Catholic country in the world?
History of the Southwest:
12000-15000 years occupation by migrants from Asia & also
Europe.
50-100 years partial occupation by Spanish with natives.
30 years indirect control by Mexicans, many natives dead from diseases & conflict.
160 years occupation by Americans.
I have to admit that her support for illegal immigrants living in & coming to America was a genius move because it automatically gave her millions of Latino-American Democrat votes that she desperately needs to beat Obama especially in Texas.
The question is though, if she wins, is the US going to turn into Spanish speaking Mexican colony?
okay, the other day, i asked "how do write with a mexican accent?" sorry & thanks to all who answered my question! but, what i actually meant was "spaniard" accent.
The exact mexican translation of these 2 words "Beachfront", "Active" & "Beachfront Active" & if possible, translation of terms such as "Leisure", "Commercial", "Recreation", "Activity", "Hub". Thanks!
