Trying to learn Colombian Spanish
Please let me know what I did wrong! I have been struggling to sound more like a native speaker but I feel like it’s so obvious that I’m from the US.

Thank you so much!
I am from Colombia and specifically from Bogota so I am a "Rolo" hahah. You do it pretty good, I can feel the rolo accent and intention, I can still notice that you are an American but you are definitively on the good path. Good work!! and keep it up ;)
¡Gracias!
What resources are you using to practice Colombian Spanish? Just curious bc I'm very interested in learning Colombian Spanish! I'm an American who speaks Spanish most like a Spaniard and want to change that.
My best resource has been Colombian youtubers. Also, you can watch tv shows set in Colombia (there are a ton.) In terms of learning the slang and colloquialisms, that is something that you can start to pick up by watching videos, and there are also some resources to help with that like “Bogotálogo” and I’m sure there’s more. Good luck!
No puedo evitar mencionar que me resulta muy gracioso oir a los gringos hablando español con un acento marcado, algunos con acento mexicano, otros con acento argentino, etc. Yo soy chileno, y conozco el acento de Centro América, primero porque creo que es bien conocido, por las telenovelas u otros programas de televisión, y segundo, porque acá en Chile estamos llenos de colombianos (y también venezolanos, haitianos y peruanos). Creo que se te ha pegado el acento colombiano, así que si tu intención es sonar como colombiana, vas bien. Sin embargo, creo que falta fluidez, suenas un poco tartamuda, y eso impide que se te entienda bien. Lamentablemente, no te puedo decir cómo mejorar la fluidez, imagino que con más práctica, simplemente.
Muchas gracias! Voy a seguir practicando y ojalá pueda mejorar y dejar de tartamudear. :)
