What American accent do you have?

Your English accent affects your Spanish accent directly. British people have the hardest time learning proper Spanish pronunciation, and while it’s easier for Americans, your American accent can cause you some trouble, or give you a head start.

This quiz sounds really interesting. My theory: New Yorkers and Midwesterns are the ones who got it really easy, as their accents are really Spanish-friendly. But you should try it out yourself, and tell me the results.
Here’s the quiz.

Important note: you’re supposed to read the words out loud and trust your ear, not your eyes!



If you’re interested, here’s my result:

Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak.
