Answer 2

Poor L ah-more day Dee-ohse

Answer 3

You make the 'r' of the 'por' heavy and kind of roll it. This applies to the 'amor' as well I think. The 'de' would be said like the 'e' in 'feral'. The 'dios' (dee-os)

Answer 5

And if you really want to say it with a Spanish accent, make 'Dios' only one syllable.

Think of the word 'yes'. One syllable. It's not 'ee-ehs'. Or how about the famous Rocky line: 'Yo Adrianne!' 'Yo' makes one sound.

It's the same idea with 'Dios'. The 'io' makes one sound. Dyohs. (more or less.)
