Fun fact Greek and Spanish sound extremely similar. They have nearly identical sounds. They're not all that closely related though.

Your command of the english language is good, but you're speaking it weird. Over there your family and their dogs. Oh wait! Your dogs! They're getting into the garbage can over there!

I'm sorry but I have absolute certainty the second story is fake. There's is no way, absolutely none, that two Brazilians speaking English couldn't identify each others accents within seconds of the conversation. Maybe if they were living in the US or UK for 10 years, but this happened in Argentina. 100% fake story.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
