English/Spanish Clumsiness

Soy Americano is correct as in I am American  which is not a temporary condition but a permanent condition. Estoy  durmiendo is correct as in I am sleeping which is a temporary condition not permanent.

Hacer, to make, is a verb used in many ways to state what someone, something is up to [doing now] or has achieved or is going to achieve, etc. Que haces? or ¿Qué estás haciendo? is what are you doing now. So hacer can be "make," "made" or "doing", "done" etc. Hecho in Mexico, Made in Mexico.

I don't think you read the question.  I know the correct usages.  My question was do that sound as weird or funny or clumsy as the mistakes foreigners make.  Like saying "I will make it tomorrow"  when he means "I will DO it tomorrow."  Or "I will tell she," instead of "I will tell her."

In my experience most Mexicans don´t care so much about the many mistakes a foreigners makes as long as the message is clear. There are a few who will just not want to deal with it and then you know where you stand. It appears common for someone to repeat what you said corectly and for you to agree that is what you meant to confirm that is what you meant to say.

Of course with total of 11 years in Mexico, that's a given.  Thanks
