Nope, not really. Isn't that funny? (Funny in a weird way....) My ears just don't hear it. I guess I'm listening for something exaggerated, but I'm not getting it. I'll take your word for it....

Maybe off-topic, but I have huge problems listening to the Spanish 'd', which for me just does not exist, and my hearing is (usually) excellent. For example, my Spanish bank manager was talking to me (in English) and I understood nothing because I thought she was talkng about a car. It transpired she was talking about a credit card. I asked for clarity, and she insisted she said card not car, and even after several attempts, I still could not hear the 'd' which she claimed she was saying. I still can't.

Yes, tha's a problem with us in Spanish, especially when trying to speak English, we do not pronounce all the letters in a word, especially the ones ending with a consonant or sound of a consonant.

File = fai

card = car

etc...

It happens to everyone, if you don't believe me, just ask laepelba...

Therefore the word Alberio not exist in the English language.

Instead of exist free.


El Alberio dada a una persona.

The free that was gave a person.

You can also say: dejar a alguien a su libre albedrío. (let them do what they want)
