You're brave. Keep it up and best of luck.
That was brave and really good! I heard a really cool accent! Chica, muy fantastíco!
That was very good. If it was me, I would have given up after like a minute. Very nice accent ( I think I understood you better b/c neither of us are native speakers). A word of advice that my teacher is always giving us: when you are speaking in Spanish and happen to be stuck, instead of saying "umm" say "Pues" because it sounds more sophisticated and is related to Spanish. Hopefully, I can speak like that on my test tomorrow!
I thought your accent was really good, Olene! I hope you get to go to Mexico soon, I think you would become fluent very quickly. Good work!
You've got to buy a webcam. Being able to see your facial features (lip movements) is a big help sometimes.
A technical comment: I loved the visual graphic comments that you added. What program did you make the video with?
I liked it. Your accent seemed very nice, in fact. That is a great excersize, to just say anything in Spanish. You are very fluid in terms of speaking and ideas! SpanishDict is really lacking on a section to post recordings and comment to each other. Way to go!
¡Bien hecho chica!
I left you a comment there. I've heard it said before that students of a language find it easier to understand one another than to understand native speakers of that language. Your accent sounds very nice to me, maybe I'll get around to doing something similar so our native speakers here can give us some help with pronunciation if we need it.
If I make a video, I think I'll write it out beforehand otherwise I would get lost for words a long time before you did! Or maybe read something from my Spanish textbook. Just ideas...
