The result is that she can now speak very fluent English indeed (especially when she's demanding to know why it took me three hours to go for a "quck pint"!).
In fact, I know loads of South Americans and they all speak very good English, because they're ambitious and want decent jobs, so don't tar everyone with the same brush!
