I have a student who was born in Argentina but grew up in Venezuela. When you hear her speak she sounds like every other Venezuelan except when she talks to other Argentines. Her boss thought she was making fun of some Argentine clients because she stated talking like them.
My Spanish is ok now but when I first moved here I knew 2 Spanish words and one of them was a curse word. It was a bit of a culture shock but H supported/supports me a lot.
I've bever been to Mass. but I had been to Maine and New Hampshire as a child camping with family. Been to Old Orchard Beach too. Are you from Boston? Yeah I knw there's more to Mass. than Boston. People ask me if I'm from Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver all the time.
