Listening to her myself I thought that! I have lived in Spain !! I was expecting her to be worse!! TBHThere are 2 massive threads on MN about this and the Spanish people who have contributed haven pretty much uniformly said her Spanish is amazing, and that she must be one of those natural linguistics.
Fair play. It’s a shame her clear love for the Spanish language and culture has been tainted by her derty derty LIESI actually thought she was good!! I myself have lived in Spain and to the untrained person she sounds like a true Spaniard!! The intonation and the accent, let’s say she doesn’t sound a foreigner speaking Spanish!! I was expecting her to be worse
Yes the accent is great, and lots of emphasis in places where it should be to ‘sound Spanish’ but the vocabulary is very limited which makes it seems more like a studied language rather than a natural speaker.I actually thought she was good!!

They took her to the party store around the corner. Nothing interesting.Out of interest when you did see them with their oldest , what were they doing? where were they going? to the park ? Or did it look like or something else?
Someone here mentioned they were on another post/site I think it Eltonjohnflorist the Spanish contributors said she was great !! So who knowsYes the accent is great, and lots of emphasis in places where it should be to ‘sound Spanish’ but the vocabulary is very limited which makes it seems more like a studied language rather than a natural speaker.
My husband speaks very little Spanish but could understand everything she was saying in the interview due to the limited content of it
@MrsDimSum here it isThere are 2 massive threads on MN about this and the Spanish people who have contributed haven pretty much uniformly said her Spanish is amazing, and that she must be one of those natural linguistics.
I'm from Spain and she has quite a good accent, there may be some words that don't sound quite spanish but she sounds almost native.I’d love to know what a native Spanish speaker thinks of this
Yeah I find it wierd. I get the fact it is a young country but I suppose I find it hard to see how that feels coming from the U.K. I have Irish great grandparents on 3 sides and I tell people I’m British because that’s what I am. In America that would qualify as strong Irish bloodMaybe being American it didn’t seem as weird to her. I’m Irish & you always hear of Americans claiming to be Irish when there hasn’t been a person born in Ireland in their family in generations. It’s part of the culture to be Irish-American, Italian-American etc. It’s still a push though considering she has no blood links with Spain.
It is a bit strange. What’s wrong with being American?! If a person wasn’t born in Ireland & their parents weren’t born in Ireland I struggle to see how they’re Irish. They have Irish ancestry, but I wouldn’t think they themselves are Irish. We’ve come a long way from “No dogs & no Irish” sure everyone wants to be Irish these days! Except Hilary, maybe should sure have tried a Paddy accent! I’d love to hear it although it’s possibly not as sexy!Yeah I find it wierd.

So odd when it appears she tried to make herself looking more Spanish by basically dying everything!Sorry but this woman is a fucking freak!!
this article when she talks about being mistaken for the kids foreign nannyhttps://www.google.ie/amp/s/www.lat...h-kids-gets-mistaken-their-nanny-384072?amp=1
I have a friend with four Irish grandparents - she's Scots as that's where she and her parents were born and live/d!Yeah I find it wierd.

I’m English, my parents aren’t, they’re from other countries within the U.K. - I call myself English because I am... I was born here, have an English accent, on paper I am English even if it upsets both of my parents when I support England in the World Cup haha! Point is, just because my parents are from another country that doesn’t make me from there because I am not.I have a friend with four Irish grandparents - she's Scots as that's where she and her parents were born and live/d!
I'm sure I've said this before but as a mother of 2 mixed race children, this is so offensive! I'm dark skinned, my children are both olive skinned so look nothing like me. When my son was born he was completely white. One of the dads on the ward was chatting to me because I was chatting to his wife. When he saw my son he jokingly said ' Who's the mother?' I laughed it off but I can still remember it. There are parents of mixed race children that this has happened to. Its rude and upsetting. She must know this kind of thing happens so she has appropriated someone else's experiences of racism to garner sympathy. And shes done it in 'Latina' magazine, read by non white Spanish speakers, who it could well have happened to. Most of the rest of it is just a chance to take the piss out of a stupid vain woman but to me, the appropriation of racist experiences as her own is not funny at all.So odd when it appears she tried to make herself looking more Spanish by basically dying everything!
