In fact, I have been told by good sources that the PET should be taken being over 20 years old since people have to answer questions dealing with global problems, political and economic issues, which, by the way, are not always subjects teenagers these days are well acquainted to. I am from Argentina
ohmygod. i'm preparing for proficiency now; i'm 17 and i'm also spanish, but i DON'T have that accent. I hate that every native speaker automatically thinks spanish people have such a bad pronunciation -.-
@DooGie17 Bear in mind this is a test for speakers of other languages, and besides the accent there are many other items such as vocabulary, accuracy, fluency... I'd like to hear you speaking spanish, ordering a paella in a restaurant by the beach, for instance ;D peace bro :)
@IVLIVSCAESARAUGVSTUS I'm spanish. Want to add me in skype and check my accent in both english and spanish? And by the way, I scored 57/60 in my CPE (I failed :( ) exam but I had the highest score in my speaking part.
And yeah I've ordered shitloads of paellas in a perfect Madridian accent. ;D
@DooGie17 Good for you dude! no te putees hombre, que el acento español es bien bonito! un saludo desde Barcelona. Por supuesto, con acento catalán.... :D
@IVLIVSCAESARAUGVSTUS ;D. Es bien bonito en español, en el inglés queda horroroso (cuando se suaviza está mucho mejor). Y el acento catalán mola mazo, y esto fuera de coñas. Además lo imito de puta madre haha! Algún día aprenderé catalán porque si bien me parece bastante inútil (desde la pragmática) me resulta curioso y me atrae, desde el vocabulario hasta la gramática.
@IVLIVSCAESARAUGVSTUS I totally agree with you. I don't know why some people always make an issue out of pronunciation. As long as you can be understood and don't mispronounce it's OK to have an accent. I am a teacher and I am currently preparing students for the oral part of the FCE and I pronunciation is something they are very worried about and I always tell them that it's not a make or break thing. As you said, they take many things into consideration.
