Yeah, I thought of that bit about Spanish afterwords, but left it anyhow.

I can't speak for the rest of the world, but most Americans don't consider pronunciations in other languages, possibly because they generally don't know a second language anyhow. And since HIPAA (almost wrote HIPPA!) is a US thing, I don't see foreign pronunciation entering into it much.

I wish more people would learn a second language. It can be really enriching. The key, IMO, is to pick a language that you'll enjoy using somehow. For me, it was Japanese, because I enjoyed a lot of Japanese media as a teen, and continue to do so as an adult.

I'm seeing a lot more foreign content on Netflix lately, and Brazilian seems like it'd be a good choice for a second language, if you're into TV shows.



Viki has a lot of foreign (Asian) media.
