Horrible Intonation

So apparently I still use my Spanish intonation when I speak in English. I didn't even realize I was doing it when I was living in Spain, but when my sister came over the end of May apparently I was horrible. So sorry to all of you in Almeria....I guess I wasn't speaking the true American English. I got pretty good at speaking normal with my family for the next 6 weeks traveling around because they speak like typical Americans of course. But it comes out when I speak to other people especially strangers. In fact it just came out the other day! I'm up at a cousin's wedding in Canada right now and have met lots of new people, but so far so good I think. I still have a bit to work on. And forget the T's! They'll never go away! I even got my sister, Elise, to pronounce them now :)
