Speaking Languages than reading
[QUOTE=Psychman;1667062]In several Latin American countries people "eat" the last sylabus of some words. Cuba, Venezuela, The Carabean Costa of Honduras, the DR, and even Puerto Rico. People from other countries who are learning English say that LOS Angelenos do the same thing with English. Even in Guatemala, where the Spanish in the capital is fairly slow and clear, folks will say "va pue" for "va pues"....[/QUOTE]Same is true with French. After trying to learn French via CDS for my trips to Morocco, no wonder no one understood me. I took a class last year in French and thanks to the teacher who constanly corrected me as the last syllabus is rarely pronounced and different syllabuses are annunciated depending upon the occasion. A very tough language to learn to speak, French.
