March 13, 200817 yr Great video. Her English is certainly fine there.I agree she lacks a certain maturity in her mannerisms. I would almost guess her age to be 16 at times rather than almost 27 but it's better to be young at heart than old and stuffy. She has a 'happy-go-lucky' personality.
March 13, 200817 yr aww im so happy for her with marco proves she goes beyond the looks, which is really good. i love her.

March 13, 200817 yr I speak pretty good English for someone who speaks English as a second language, but if I have to speak in front of a large audience I sometimes struggle to find words that would otherwise come naturally (I have no problem with crowds when speaking my native tongue, oddly enough). And my accent increases a lot if I get nervous. That's despite the fact that I graduated from college with an A+ in English and can read aloud advanced English literature fluently without any accent at all.
March 13, 200817 yr Nowadays, although she has more enthusiasm when she speaks(which is good), I feel that it is rushed and sometimes I think that she sounds like a little girl; it looks like she's too excited and really wants to get those words out. C'mon Adri you're turning 27 this year...
March 14, 200817 yr I agree 100%. English is only my second language too, but I have been living in an English-speaking country for the past 5 years - which has helped my English to become pretty much fluent now, and under normal circumstances, I speak it as well as anyone born here. However, there are certain times when my grasp of English seems to slip and I can't find the right words, stumble, my accent appears, etc - when I'm tired, or jet-lagged, or nervous (which I SO would be if I was being interviewed and had to talk into cameras or in front of crowds!). To overcompensate and try to mask it, I tend to get a little hyper then...I can't help. Often it seems like Adri is doing something similar - trying to counter her shyness and insecurity by acting out, acting loud - so people won't notice. Of course they do notice - or at least, they do in my case and it doesn't give them the best impression of my English. I think Adri's behaviour and mannerisms when speaking Portugese definitely indicate how she is in normal circumstances far more than how she acts when she speaks English.
March 14, 200817 yr It is interesting hearing a different perspective about language and accent. I have spoken with people personally who talk about how they have to switch between two languages mentally to find the words. Hell, I only speak English and have to find words..LOL I have to think before I speak. I saw the video of Adri in Mexico speaking in Portuguese (or Spanish, I know they have some similiarities) and her mannerism wasn't as hyper. I still don't understand why people call Adri dumb. I haven't gotten that sense at all about her from what I have seen or heard from her. I don't know her personally so I can't make such an assumption. I agree 100%.

I think Adri's behaviour and mannerisms when speaking Portugese definitely indicate how she is in normal circumstances far more than how she acts when she speaks English. I had a hunch I wasn't the only one Many people who speak only one language can't relate to this at all. Sometimes I even forget a word in my native tongue and can only think of the English equivalent, and vice versa. Sometimes I "think" in my primary language, other times I "think" in English. Of course that's because I use English a lot in my everyday life (I have foreign colleagues at my workplace), but it's annoying sometimes

March 19, 200817 yr wow she looks amazing! I love her curves and I also just love how she does that innocent yet seductive look
March 19, 200817 yr I can't find any flaws on her in that video (and it's not even photoshopped). She looks like some kind of cyborg Amazonian sent back from the future. I don't think her body has ever looked that good (or she's just great at working what she's got, making it look that way). Either way, I can't stop watching that video either
March 19, 200817 yr :hell yea!: Best video EVER! You're right sheebshag. Her body is freaking incredible.
March 19, 200817 yr Wow. That is so freaking amazing! Will be capping it ASAP when I get home from work tonight lol!!!!!! She looks just incredible!
