When we as a class saw the video there were some mispronunciations that we didn't understand but only in English, when she finished some sentences in Spanish or mixed a bit of both, we could understand just fine because we know both Spanish and English, but as we can see in this video, they are having a lot of problem understanding Gloria, creating some issues due to the communication.
Sometimes we can easily identify people who are not native speakers in English because of this mispronunciations. We can see at the end of the video when Gloria yells at them because they were probably making fun of her accent, so she tells them that they try to speak in another language, this making fun of the accents or the English Variations may cause some people to be embarrassed when using them.
