Inconfundible

[ROBINDESBOIS]

Su acento es inconfundible. No sé porque tiene tanto sentido del ridículo cuando habla delante del público.

His accent is ".........." I don' t know why he feels so embarrassed when he speaks in front of the public.
Is this sentence OK? Is there a better equivalent for sentido del ridículo.?

His accent is unmistakable.....

hablar delante del público = to speak in public (not: in front of public)

But I don't think that tener sentido de ridiculo means to feel embarrassed, I think it means to feel he is making a fool of himself.

You sentence does not make sense to me, because if someone does have an unmistakable accent, the speaker is more likely to be embarrassed as not. Unless I have got inconfundible wrong.

You ' re right. I didn't want to open a second thread. Can we say to have an embarrassing fear of speaking in public instead of feel you re making a fool of yourself?

You can have an embarrassing fear, and you can have a fear of being embarrassed. The two have different meanings. If you need clarification, let us know.
