Okay, so here my video is. Please ignore the strange angle. I was using my camera and not a webcam... and I'm far too lazy to redo it. hehe

Also, sorry about the mini rants. :oops:

I have an audio version I could post here - don't really want to do a YouTube one, because I rarely use YouTube myself.

How would I best post that one?

Sure. You can just speak in the accent you speak English in. In fact, because my mother's family is from Puerto Rico, I grew up speaking Spanish first. I had an accent until I was about 7, but it was slight. I had some difficulty with my 'r's and a big issue with the pronuciation of the soft 'th'. Outside of Spain Spanish, the 'th' sounds are rare or nonexistant. So I would pronounce the word 'three' as 'free' and I had a friend in the second grade named Theo and I would call him 'feo'. People used to make fun of me for this. I did not have issues with hard 'th' such as in the words 'that' or 'the'.
