  1. Wow. Your Spanish is, indeed, phenomenal. Did you take classes specifically on pronunciation when you were a student?

  2. I never had a pronunciation or phonetics class, though I am interested in phonology. I would just read Don Quixote out loud to myself for hours.

    My point here is not about my Spanish, but that I am get to be the token yanqui in books edited by Miguel Casado in Spain. I am the one Anglo-American in the "late modernist" clique in Spain.

  3. Though apparently I can't write a comment in English.

    I did take time with each phoneme in Spanish. It seemed a point of pride as a Spanish professor to learn how to pronounce the language correctly.
