OMG I can't believe what I am reading here. Mexico, as many non-english speaking countries, has people that, whatever foreign language they learn, might as well speak it not fluently and with a strong accent.

I think in this sentence I have said several things to make a point:

1. Mexico is a non english speaking country. Mexican's mother tongue is spanish as lib appointed.

2. Whatever foreign language people learn means that, if mexican people, or chinese people or proeple from whatever country you can recall, learn a foreign language such as french, german, sweden (not only english!) will probably have an accent when speaking. The same as Americans, or British or Canadians; when they learn Spanish they always have a strong accent and have trouble speaking Spanich fluently.

3. So... it doesn't have to be people form Mexico, or English, or compulsory public education (which we have, so please get informed before making statements like this), but it has to do with:

a. having x or y mother tongue
b. learning a foreign language
c. the age when the foreign language is acquired
d. practice- hours
e. interaction with native speakers.
f. many other factors that influence in acquiring new vocabulary, fluency and pronunciation more like a native speaker, less foreign accent.

Thanks!
