I received a promotional flyer for a book I've contributed to. These are the authors:
Marcos Canteli, Miguel Casado, José Manuel Cuesta Abad, Susana Díaz, Olvido García Valdés, Amalia Iglesias, Jonathan Mayhew, Eduardo Milán, Antonio Méndez Rubio, Miguel Morey, Antonio Ortega, Julio Ortega, Pedro Provencio, Ildefonso Rodríguez, Jenaro Talens
Wow. Your Spanish is, indeed, phenomenal. Did you take classes specifically on pronunciation when you were a student?
ResponderEliminarI 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.
ResponderEliminarMy 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.
Though apparently I can't write a comment in English.
ResponderEliminarI 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.
