The Many, Many, Many Mispronunciations of Gloria from Modern Family

Well not always. There are forms of English in the carribean that's technically English but barely. I can't understand half of what they are saying but it's still their first language. Not that I'd make fun of them though of course. I just can't understand them.

[@rosamaringuerrero1685]

@Andrew Smith accents are usually hard to pick up for people from Spanish speaking countries, it's not about knowing the grammar or understanding people, accents are something you either pick up or not

[@rosamaringuerrero1685]

@Andrew Smith I'll be honest, I don't watch this show very often, but I do find her likable, "shouting" is part of her culture. As to why she uses the wrong words, I mean, she was already grown when she arrived there and she tries her best, I know some people find her daft for speaking the way she does but I don't think it's related to her intelligence. Languages are hard and for some people speaking is the worst

[@duckinahurry4630]

My favorite is definitely Gloria, I don’t know why and I understand why people dislike her. But I can’t help Gloria being my favorite character. I also really like Haley, I just wish she had a better character arch. The characters I really can’t stand are Alex and Cam. A lot of people hate Manny, me not so much. I don’t like him but I don’t dislike him either, he’s kinda just there for me. That’s my personal opinion

Not to suddenly go down cry cry pity mode, but people making for of your accent or when you mispronounce something, really really sucks. Your trying to learn a language and when you make a mistake everyone laughs.

[@NikkiHP]

It does suck sometimes if they get mean about it and do it too much but other than that it's funny indeed. Although I had this guy who made fun of literally every word I say and a few times he almost brought me to tears. But then if u think about it, at least you speak a foreign language fluently so there's nothing to be ashamed of ;)

Grammar is easy except for irregular verbs. Pronunciation would get me an F minus though. I'd *rather read & write* than *speak* foreign languages. I can imagine Gloria saying "Ayyy Claire your accent sound muy estupida!" And I would say "si! Es dificil to pronounce properly in foreign languages!!!!! But it (my accent) also sounds tres stupide in French & molto stupida in Italian. Gimme a piece of paper & I'll write everything instead of speaking."

Please DO make fun of me when I mispronounce in Spanish, French, & Italian. I'm already self-conscious about pronunciation, so if you make fun of me, I honestly & truly don't mind.

Her accent is her accent just like Arnold Schwarzenegger has his accent. They are iconics. I want them to talk to each other lol 😂

[@christophertamara6043]

Sofia is so funny her accent is amazing. I love her and her personality.

[@claireakaforestgreenorgang9506]

She cracks me up maximus (Latin), mucho (Spanish), beaucoup (French), molto (Italian). I wish my mouth didn't hurt so much when I laugh. (Is laughter supposed to cause mouth pain? That's strange. Est novis, es extrano, est etrange, e strano.)

How do Spanish speaking people roll their tongue like that when they pronounce the "R" sound is a mystery to me. I feel like I will never be able to do that even if I spend my whole life practising.

[@AmelieSpark]

+kongma Actually the people in all Mediterannean counties pronounce the "R" like this too.

[@m.o.485]

+kongma it's funny because it's so simple. Feels natural to us. You make your tongue touch your palate, and when you pronounce the R you leave a space between it and the center of your tongue. You have to feel your tongue vibrate

[@kongma]

Swfan Uboros I know it must feel natural to your people, but it's difficult for me 'cause we Cantonese speaking people never need to roll our tongue when we speak Cantonese. Took me a while back then when I was learning English and Mandarin. So the vibrating R sound in Spanish is especially hard for me.

[@kongma]

Harley Quinn Good to know!

[@Maratrushka]

Lol I guess isnhow you are used to talk since birth because for me r in English is so frustrating I even get headaches when I speak many word with r like raising,roads, railroad. aaaaa😣

[@beebeetee2926]

Si!

[@beebeetee2926]

Lol I understand what you are saying anyway...mines is so so too.

[@TypJextredo]

I want to hear lots of Americans talking in Spanish :D Try words like Frigorífico (Fridge) or Resurrección (Resurrection). These words have Rolling Rs. And Niño (Boy) or Ceño (Frown). Both ha ve the Ñ sound, and the second one has a 'th' sound (letter C).

isn't it weird that she's kind of shown as unintelligent because her english isn't very good. Well its a whole different language and people understnad her most of the time, thats very impressive, none of them can speak another language!! ps she totally said gargoyle!

Gloria’s broken English is better than my fluent English.

[@aarots1]

"OK ENOUGH! YOU TRY TO SPEAK IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE. EVERYBODY - OUT OF MY HOUSE" She was absolutely right.

[@geniusjonas8873]

2:13-2:20 i love those parts

[@cesarmorales6368]

No spanish speaker would struggle to find the word for "helicopter" since "helicoptero" is the word in spanish... at least this script writers can try to make it look realistic... she doesn't know the word for helicopter but in another scene she says "mixing pot"? I mean she's portrayed like an entry level student of english, there's no way she can know any complicated word ...

[@chelseawilson3251]

She's picking up on phrases she's heard other people say but using the wrong words. Which means she DOESN'T know the words, she's confusing them. Also, just because two words are similar in different languages doesn't mean all of the words are carbon copies of each other. How should she have know that helicoptero is helicopter? Does that mean that gato is gat and perro is perr?

[@cesarmorales6368]

Chelsea, I don't know if you have studied another language beyond the basic stuff of high school... One of the first things you learn are easy words... I'm pretty sure that helicopter, computer and car shouldn't be difficult to learn for a spanish speaker. That would also apply the other way around, an english speaker learning spanish shouldn't struggle to identify the words "helicoptero", "computadora" and "carro"... A grammatical mistake is more believable in Sofia, a wrong use of some tricky preposition (like "in" and "on"), bad verb conjugations and ignorance of phrasal verbs...but she happens to be "fluent" enough but with an ugly accent in these series, how weird is that... Sofia's character doesn't resemble someone learning english, It's not natural.. and in reality Sofia has an excellent english, better than mine...

[@socger4261]

no hay ninguna logica. en estados unidos los guionistas siempre hacen creaciones asi basadas en estereotipos de su pais y no en nada logico. por ejemplo muchas cosas de nico bellic en GTA4 tambien son asi de ridiculas e ignorantes. la trilogia de bourne me gusto porque fue la primera vez que vi distintos paises bien reflejados en una pelicula de hollywood.

[@Tracymmo]

Disagree. I've worked hard to find a word in French, my second language, only to find out that the term is the same or similar to English. I remember describing "a chair that moves back and forth" in French and then hearing "ah oui, tu veux dire un rocking chair." Same thing has happened with the words "badge" and "kidnapping."

[@nevmiles]

You know in the episode where Luke and Phil go under the house and find old Hallowe'en decorations (and Manny is afraid to go on a roller coaster, and Hailey passes her driver's test) that Gloria says and pronounces "helicopter" perfectly when describing what Javier isn't afraid of near the beginning of the episode? I found that odd the first time I heard it because clearly there is supposed to be a running joke in the show that Gloria cannot ever remember what a helicopter is called or how to pronounce it.

[@edwardshimble]

[@drewneedsmoresleep6680]

English is not my wife’s first language, and I hate to say it but I do laugh every now and then when she screws up something. It is strange though, even hearing her accent and fully knowing English is her second language I can forget she doesn’t always understand everything people here are saying.

[@BonoLightier]

"parrot? What parrot?" JAY JAY JAY

[@eileenbutterfly7856]

You know, I like the scene in the pilot where jay says "no" and Gloria says "yes". The third time, Gloria says, "when you say no like that it is always yes.". The way she says yes is both charming and makes me flashback to my manipulative Peruvian ex boyfriend.

Learning another language, especially as an adult, is HARD! Bless the Deaf community for never making fun of my ASL.

She actually speaks relatively good english for a non-native (Even though it's just acting).
