    Im still laughing when he said etoy LITO instead of estoy LISTO
    I wonder if he's aware of all the errors, or if he actually thinks what he said was fully correct. It's one thing to not grasp the vocabulary (i.e. "before", "different", "first") but his grammar was the real issue. Whoever's teaching him needs to get on that ASAP so he doesn't continue to sound ridiculous.

      At least his trying. To learn the language will be based on how much you open yourself up and speak to others so he's doing the right thing.

        Yeah, I live in Sweden and I am currently learning spanish. You quickly learn to read and listen and you understand most of what you hear. But since I very rarely talk to other spanish speakers the talking is the most difficult thing for me, it takes time to find the right words and build the grammar. And "under pressure" like Danny is under these interviews I can totally understand why he might struggle. But as you said, trying goes a long way. Danny probably could be fluent in 2-3 years if he keeps it up.

              C'mon Danny's is way better.

              Actually I expected Danny's spanish to be a lot worse given the comments here. He is not that bad, he needs a lot of improvement of course but the basis is there. I believe that his spanish can get really good in only 5-6 months of practice

              And I am not even a fan of Danny.

                I can sympathize with Danny. My Spanish isn't the greatest either. Both my parents were born in Cuba, but defected to Canada and US with their families when they were young. So growing up I was exposed to Spanish at home, but A LOT of English everywhere else. So as a result I can understand Spanish, but I can't speak it very well.

                It doesn't make him any less Latino.

                    For some reason its like that in Spanish speaking countries. If you are Latino born in America they will rag on you if you do not speak Spanish or if your Spanish is bad they will bust your balls. It's why they use terms like Pocho

                    What do you guys think of David Diaz and Fernando Vargas spanish?
