British woman speaks and understands Cebuano

You may have heard early this year, a German working at Dunkin Donuts who speaks fluent Cebuano without the accent. Though this girl has an accent when she speaks Bisaya, but clearly she cannot be duped when we talk about her in her presence.

According to the description in Youtube, she’s the girlfriend of Marc Piramide the uploader of the video.

Sgt. Paul Palmeri

When I first heard him speak, I was really surprised, his Cebuano is almost perfect for a “normally” white American, no trace of American accent when he talks.

According to information I gathered from the web, Sgt. Paul Palmeri is a Gunnery Sargeant for US Marine Corp (USMC).

He grew up in Cagayan de Oro City, his father Tom Palmeri used to be a professor in Xavier University.

So mao diay fluent kaayo iyang Cebuano, na tawo diay sya sa diri sa Pilipinas.
