That looks great! In May I must work on my accent. Last year everyone ask if I was Brazilian. My Mexican friends say I sound Spanish, but I use the wrong words to be Spanish. When I speak Italian, Italians think I'm Portugese. Clearly I have a very confused accent!

Thank goodness for the NEAR universality of hand signals - though not much help on the telephone

I am almost never mistaken for Portugese, Spanish, or Brazilian.

Taxi drivers usually ask, "Americano?" after listening to my speak for a few minutes.
