How can you tell when someone who speak spanish as a mother language is speaking english?
I mean, how can you tell when there's someone whose language is not english? Even if he/she speaks it really really good. Which are the normal mistakes people who speaks spanish do when it comes to speak english?
Thanks.
And yes, my first language is not english, is spanish... that's why I'm asking.
Sorry for the mistakes I made in the question, but I'm trying to improve my english since I'm going to live in England really soon.

Same way when usa people try to speak spanish.
well i have friends from guatamala and one thing they had reallllyyy bad trouble saying was "the world is coming to an end" lol. i kno its not something youd say everyday but words like that. im not speaking for all spanish ppl tho.
you can usualy tell by an accent, but they usualy say small words used in greeting like Hola
From your question I would guess that you don’t speak English.
There’s not a better place in the world to go learn English other than England. Alot of non speaking English people learn the American version of English so good on you!
All of the mistakes you make in your question are the types they make when speaking.
It depends on how well they learned it. I know some people that you can’t tell. But most of the times they will have some "accent"
I think english may not be your first language. i think it should be speak really "well" instead of good. and it should be people who "speak", not speaks, and spanish "make" instead of do, and "speaking" instead of speak. They’re mainly grammatical errors. We all make them even if you only speak one language, most people don’t speak correctly all the time.
You would have to hear it for yourself. I´m Venezuelan and I have one of the best pronunciations in Latin america. In fact, I work as a Music and Drama teacher in an International School, which is an US company.
As we pronounce certain consonants very strong, such as the r and the t, the words with these two may sound strange. And the vowels, you people have like 6 or 7 different vowels on English (phonetically) and we Spanish speakers have only 5(both grammatically and phonetically). But as I said, you would have to hear it for yourself.
