    It's all right! :) Understandable, however, I heard some Spanish word endings sometimes. :)

    Really good Rafael! Try speaking a little slower and learn when to use "articles": A, an, the

    Example: Say, "My favorite team is the New York Knicks." instead of "My favorite team is New York Knicks."

    Very good.

    This is what I heard:

    Football, or soccer for the United (e)States, is the most important (e)sport in Spain.  Also I prefer basketball, especially the NBA League.  My favorite team is  New York Nicks but this team is very bad since a few years ago.  But some day Nicks will get back to win.  Until that moment I want Boston Celtics wins.  My favorite player is Paul Pierce.

    You pronounced 'some day' like Sunday.  I would say things slightly differently.  Let me read it in American English for you with some minor changes.

    ¿Sabes que significe NBA?  (respuesta: negros bien altos)

    Muy bien.  Se nota que estas comodo con tu ingles.  Te sugiero que trates de hablar solo un poquito mas despacio y toma el tiempo de pronunciar todas las palabras bien a bien...y veras que tu ingles se mejorara'!

    Saludos

    Work on the pronunciation though, however, you're doing good.
