So as you can see, it is not just the English learning Spanish that have problems, it goes both ways......

Re: funny pronunciation
Hasta Luego, simple isn’t it, but having lived here for ages, I now say something like ah log oh, and my interpreter wife goes mad. So I’ve settled for ah low, and she goes ballistic. I quieten her down with Dell?
But, if I get angry, which isn’t often, I use Arschloch, and she still doesn’t know what it means, not even in Catalan.

Re: funny pronunciation
Sly loaf is the way I used to say sliced loaf, when I was a kid in England, that is how it sounded to me. And I thought that prawns were called Browns... or should I say that I pronounced them as "browns".

Crisps, OH is pretty much fluent in English and pronounciation is better than mine 
but when trying to say crisps......................not a chance without a lot of concentration, always comes out as crips.

Re: funny pronunciation
the kids are watching Te Disneigh chanel at the moment
it's odd, cos when the channel theme is played it's clearly sung by the American originators
but of course all the chat in between programmes is in Spanish, so the funny pronunciation is often immediately before or after the correct one
