Question for Spanish speakers

[gameFACE]

Spaniards do the same freakin' annoying thing.
A lisp to try and imitate the long dead king & try to act like royalty.

Saying you speak "castellano" is like saying you speak the "Queens English". Don't do it, man. BTW, my brother-in-law is Spanish and he uses vosotros all the time. It gets confusing when he visits. He loves hearing like "orale, vato"!

If you find yourself talking basketball here are a few team translations:

Mavericks = Babosos
Suns = Putos
Knicks = Pendejos

yeah, I can pick out an Argentinian from a mile away by listening to how they speak. Its a very distinctive accent.

I hear alot of 's' sounds like if it was 'sh', not so much a lisp like in Espana. It's more lucid than Chileno. I live in a house with people from both countries, and Chileans are far more unintelligible.

The Argentinian accent difference is VERY true.

I have an Argentinian who works for me, and his accent is very similar to Oberto's and manu's. Its spanish with a hint of italian mixed in itseems.


He also says people from mexico have butchered Spanish, and thats when my other workers start arguing with him and I step away

So basically Spanish has a whole bunch of regional dialects just like every other spoken language? It's doing well in that they all more or less are mutually intelligible. Good luck trying to get a guy from Berlin to understand what a Swiss German goat herder is saying.

"Are you going to Berlin?"
