Some (English) practice, with (Guatemalan) coworkers...

...at the one (Thai) restaurant where I work now:

1) For some reason, one (Guatemalan) coworker wants to know how you say Que estas mirando in (English). 

And, I think that means "What are you looking at?", though why he would want to know how to say that, is beyond me.

2) My one (Guatemalan) coworker who is learning (English) with Duolingo also wants help with the pronunciation of the word "at," and he seems very confused that it can be pronounced either with a T at the end or with a glottal stop, since my guess is that those are two very different sounds in his (non-Spanish) (indigenous) language that is his mother tongue.
