Asento translation

Question

Response: muchas gracias por volver a escribir. Bueno, lo del asento y el ritmo

Please translate the "asento" here, "sin asento" and "lo del asento". It has something to do with the rhythm of a language.

thanks

Answer 1

Spelled "acento." Accent.

"You speak clearly and without an accent."

Answer 2

It's necessary to point out though that "sin acento" is only meaningful in some specific area within the Spanish-speaking world. There are enormous differences within Spain and many more in the other Spanish-speaking countries.
