Listener Feedback: Sergio CasillasMy name is Sergio and I am from Spain. I live in Madrid and I would like to add a word that most of Spanish people (most Spanish people) pronounce in a wrong way is 'blood'.
I have to say that at the beginning I pronounced it wrong by saying 'blud' (because of the 'oo') like most Spanish people (except surgeons or murders).Kind regards, Sergio
