Heh, that's actually quite funny. Does [American] English really have that many "wh" noises? Certainly, a large percentage of questions begin with "what," "where," "why," and so on, but I can't imagine regular sentences having that many "wa" noises.

It's not for wa noises, the problem (for me XD) is the way you pronounce "R". You seem to say "haw" instead of "R"! XD
Try to read this " Marrrrio", with many "R"s...;p I think this must be difficult for you!=D
It's meee, Super Caterina! =D

That's the reverse for me. When I was taking Spanish I couldn't thrill the R, and it comes out as a gurgling noise.

It depends on where in America you're from. Us Italian Americans who live here in New York always slur our Rs together, thus producing the sound you're talking about. Me, I can avoid that easily, it's just that most of the time I don't because it's in my blood. I'm actually capable of putting on many different faux accents, although I am actually unable to roll my Rs the way you just described in that last sentence.

If was a lady do you think I'd settle for that dead cat on her head that she calls hair?

That thing's a cat?  I thought it was a bird's nest.
