When I visited Chile and Uruguay I noticed they were different than the rest of Latin America. They didn't go out to clubs a lot, it was more about bars, lounges, and pubs. The cities were not as festive as the ones in Brazil, Mexico or Colombia. The people were interested in things likes science, economics and politics. Most of the college students I met were studying engineering or economics.
The most festive people I met in Chile were the Peruvian immigrants! The town in Southern Chile looked like little Swiss towns. I mean the country did not have that Latin flavor at all. The closest I got to Latin was with immigrants from other Latin countries or the youth who listened to a bit regaeton. Most of the musical acts sounded funky like Red Hot Chili Peppers or British like Artic Monkeys. The style in Chile is more London-esque. It's weird. There was hardly any salsa music, a little cumbia but not much like its neighboring nations.
Your thoughts.
Uruguay, Chile, and Argentina, the Southern Cone, are demographically different from most of Latin America. The population is mostly of European ancestry. The Indians were killed off rather quickly, and there were only a few slaves. Historically, they've been the most prosperous of Latin American countries. As such they attracted large numbers of European immigrants, who brought their own culture. What we think of as Latino culture is mix of Spanish and Indian cultures. The Swiss looking towns you saw were probably inhabited by Swiss or German immigrants and their descendants.

I want to go to college in London. My husband already has a job he can get so I'm finacially stable to pay anything. I want to major in music [and maybe business, I want to have my own record label] so what colleges in London sound fit to me?
If you mean University, then University College London or King's College London are the best universities in London, for humanities at least (Imperial College London teaches only science based degrees).

I have been working on a London accent for a few years now, and I have been posting recordings on here to try to get tips on how to make it more authentic. I posted a recording yesterday, and I have worked on the things you told me to, so here is another recording. I am sorry if I am getting annoying, but I am just looking for help. The first link is to the one I posted yesterday, and the second is to the one I recorded to day. If you could, please tell me if it now sounds better or worse, and why? I think it sounds a bit too posh now, what do you think? Any tips are appreciated!

Help me out, how do I make it less posh?
Will it ever be PERFECT? How? Do you think I will ever be able to convince a true Brit?
I don't like posh, it makes me sound stuck up, which I am NOT!
ok i'll be honest with you.. =]
-the first recording you did, there wer waaay too many dialects..like i wud say manchester accent overall but with a sorta australian thing as well..cz the tone kept going up and down..in the way they speak..
-also..i think you should try and relax a bit more cz at times it sounded like you were in pain or were thinking too hard..maybe if you wrote down what you were going to say, then read from it, that might help, so you wouldnt sound so lost for words.
the 2nd recording is so much better..although for tips:
-you pronounce the 'a' sound very differently..you seem to sqeeze the 'a' sound in your throat, so next time try and relax the 'a' and make it shorter, sharper rather than so elongated.
-ooh, please avoid the cockney accent, you sometimes pick it up..ie-'elp instead of Help..lol..
keep practicing, your really good but a few improvements will make it fabulous!

You could get away with a generic British accent to an extent , I think people would probably think there was something wrong but not be able to put their finger on it . London and the surrounding area has several different accents and the only way you'll ever really get any off them would be to live here for a while . Try youtube for clips of Eastenders , cockney is harsh but also melodic and alot of it is in the context of what you are saying . Good luck .

No matter if in Iraq or other places. All people need respect.
Remeber Lennon sing: IMAGINE.
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say,
I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day
You'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say,
I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day
You'll join us
And the world will be as one.

Mind the Gaps Please' which was a featured 6'x4' painting featured on the cover of Sounding a Mosaic, their latest record. The work dealt with the cultural gaps felt living in Canada, and the disjunct between the ideal and reality. 'Mind the Gaps' referring back to the unseen hand of british colonial past, and a direct reference to the london underground.
I have not heard of this before, but I am interested in the colonial period for both Canada and the U.S. If you have more info, I wouldlike to hear about it. Good luck!
