It sounds like a California surfer ordering for the first time in a Mexican restaurant.
Justin Biber monstrum malum est :D
I don’t understand Latin teachers not even attempting to speak with a good accent …
His Latin pronunciation makes me want to rip my ears off. Also, CI requires little non-target language input.
