Hey, guys, what's up. Mexican-American here who was a late bloomer in really appreciating his culture. Like, really appreciating it instead of just taking it for granted.
My hope is to perfect my Spanish, both verbal and written. Obviously, it was my first language--I speak it, I understand it--but eventually I stopped learning and using it, so it never got past elementary status.
I get self-conscious when I speak Spanish because I definitely have a slight accent, and I notice it. I also get tripped up in forming sentences and conjugating on-the-fly (again, limited vocabulary, at least compared to English), so I seem like more of an asshole in Spanish because I'm curt so as to not embarrass myself, haha.
I've upped my intake of media in Spanish (recently played The Evil Within 2 completely in LatAm Spanish) and visit/watch Atomix from time to time (especially to hear them talk). It helps that I find Claudio to be super handsome :P.
Anyway, that's my intro. I'll definitely check this thread whenever I can. I'm already digging that I saw some posts in Spanish.
Welcome! As for the accent, don't worry. Spanish is known for all countries having different accents! So if you want to try with written Spanish and vocabulary, we can help him.
Buenas, Mexicano reportándose, aun en el país. Dejo mi historia consolera tercermundista
Saludos y buenas noches.
No se cuantas horas me debo haber echado en ese Tetris, ere genial.
