UPDATE: Sorry guys, got a mail from YouTube, looks like Paramount Pictures Corp. placed a complaint for improper use of copyrighted material. I´ve already sent them an email, let´s just hope they´ll consider granting the rights for the educational use of the movie. In any case, I was already thinking of showcasing a different movie every month, there are many examples to show what a Spanish base of articulation should soud like.
Those of you who want to rent the movie, the old post will guide you to what you should be looking for when watching the movie, here it is:
Remember that base of articulation I was talking about just the other day? Listen to Jack Black speaking English with a Spanish base of articulation, and pay special attention to:
· the way he expires, real English needs more air pressure
· his vowels, short and pure, and all of them with the same tonal quality
· his /t/ /p/ and /k/ (can you hear what´s wrong with "cookies"?)
· his /r/ (think about the tapping)
And if you get to 02:40, that "forbidden" is just beautiful Spanish.
The fat guy smelling food while catching on fire gig is a bit overdone, don´t you think?
