Do I sound like I come from NY City? Haven't lived there for a looong time.

English: Generic American.
Italian: I don't really speak it but you sound not too far off native IMHO.
Spanish: You have an Italian influence, which can sometimes make you sound pseudo-Argentine!
Portuguese: Good try, but pretty foreign-sounding.

My English accent is a mix of American and Dutch or generic Western European. When I was in Ireland, a woman asked me why I spoke with an American accent—I never realized that I did. Virtually all English media we continental Europeans consume is American, so we unconsciously form our accents after that.

It’s absolutely impossible for me to pronounce the English “th,” though. It’s either a “t” or an “f,” usually a “t” (like the Irish pronunciation). Is there a language other than English that has that sound? By the way, fun fact, the Dutch language, although it sounds nothing like Latin, has exactly its sounds. Classical and ecclesiastical Latin sound very authentic when spoken by native Dutch speakers who know how to pronounce it.

Why don't the English roll their Rs anymore ?

"Prova Oral" is an interactive radio talk show that's been running for 21 years in the national public radio Antena 3.
Listeners can leave voice messages while the show is running.



Here I'm asking that day's guest César Mourão what are the coolest places where he's been on vacations with his friends António Zambujo and Miguel Araújo (this last one whom I forgot the name; César is a comedian and actor, the other two are musicians, apparently their all friends).

I think Hungarian speakers are best at it, but everybody pronounces latin better than native english speakers it seems.
