Native Colombian Caribbean Spanish speaker, and no, my native dialect is not close to that of Bogota, the Colombian capital city, as many misinformed foreigners tend to think; it resembles some dialects found in southern Spain, the Canary islands, Cuba, Venezuela, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Panama. We love to eat letters.

I like that comment, we love to eat letters. Reminds me of one of my first experiences. I missed a point on a quiz after learning from a Cuban lady that ´to enjoy´ was ´difrutar´. She ate the ´S´ and I was too new to know it. - rogspax, Oct 16, 2012

I am Armenian. My grandparents had been among the survivors of the Armenian Genocide in 1915 who came to Lebanon and established a new life in here, but due to the war in Lebanon most of my family are in CA USA now that's why I always go back and forth to the US and am learning Spanish bec it's the 2nd language in the Unites statates.

Nací en Blackpool, England. Lamentablemente no llegué a ser "sand grown un" pues mi familia (incluso yo) se trasladó a Cleveleys, a pocas milias más al norte. En 1940 regresamos a Blackpool.. Pasado algunos años, me fui a Londres, en primer instancia para asistir en el King's College, lluego para trabajar, casarme y ser padre de dos hijos extraordinarios. En 1967, fuimos todos a Buenos Aires donde pasamos pocos meses antes de trasladarnos a Santiago de Chile. Ahí nos quedamos durante otros seis años antes de volver a Inglaterra para terminar la educación de mis hijos. Ya empezó un período cuando no nos trasladamos mas durante treinta y un años. Vivíamos en West Horsley, una aldéa al sudoeste de Londres. No obstante, durante el mismo período, hize trabajos en otras partes de Inglaterra, en Holanda, Alemaña, Luxemburgo, Finlandia, Irlandés del Norte, Dinamarca, EU (USA to you) y Brazil. En 1999, faleció mi esposa y en 2000 me jubilé así que quedé sin responsibidades de mayor importancia. Finalmente, en 2004, encontré mi actual esposa y en 2005 me trasladé a Tejas. Where am I from? Respeto á origines raciales, creó que soy aproximadamente 100% Ingles pues é posible que incluso tengo algunas gotas de sangre Irlandés. Please give me a good editorial view of this if you have the time. It must be 20+ years since I last tried to write more than a few words in Spanish so some serious criticism would be most helpful. Thank you all.

Originally, I come a city called Gloucester, which is in Massachusetts (United States). As for nationality, I'm a mixed breed, as are many people from the States, which includes a bit of Native American, some English, and a lot of Finnish, etc.

I now live in a village called Tzununá in Guatemala, and visit my family in the States each summer.
