I speak french fluently. And when people that speak spanish hear me talk they have no idea what I'm saying but yet when they speak spanish I can somewhat understand or have a pretty good guess what they where saying. So Spanish sounds alot like french, not the other way around.

All the Indian kids at my school have the same problem...

They also pronounce some words awkwardly... but I guess having seen the language all my life I understand the phonetic tendencies of English more than they do,
Rofl. I have a accent too. :\
I can never say the word "chocolate" correctly unless I try really hard. xD;; But you don't notice it unless you really look for it. Like I'll pronounce it like, "chalk-a-lick."
Or the world "really?" I say "re-w-a-ly."
I also notice that when I speak english. My voice is much lower. xD Random.
But its hard to speak different languages. Cause your tongue is also not used to the pronunciation of the language is the best way I can try and describe how come other people's pronunciation is off/awkward.
English is like a tongue twister to me when I get to those T's and R's. xD

I really wouldn't have guessed.  You seem entirely fluent :3
Nope. :[ I'm not. I learned English like "everything" during 5th grade. I started 3rd. But I was sick so much during my 3rd/4th grade years. So I wasn't really taught much besides naming items. xD 5th grade is when I started doing sentences. Though. It's weird. Since I was born here in the US. Just that my parents never bothered to teach me english. Cause. Well. xD They don't know much themselves. Rofl.

I really wish teachers would actually teach me proper grammar. Infact. xD I don't even know what a 'simile' is. I always was like, "What does a smiley have to do with english." ;3;
Rofl. I still call it a "smiley". What is the pronunciation for simile anyways? xD
Si-m-e?

It's pronounced like "similar" except with an "ee" sound at the end replacing the "ar."

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/simile  You can hear it pronounced by clicking the speaker icon next to the word.
