[ACC25106]

I’m not trying to be mean when I say this, but Spaniards, especially ones using the Castilian dialect, sound like Elmer Fudd to me. They use a ‘th’ sound in place of all the ‘s’ sounds. ‘Buenath diath thenor.’ Sometimes it’s actually hard for me to keep a straight face and not break out laughing. And yet, this dialect is considered ‘correct’ Spanish, even by some well-to-do people in Latin America.

Cuban Spanish sounds very staccato to my ears, and there are a few African words mixed in it that are unfamiliar to me. Some people in Peru mix in Quechua with their Spanish. Mexicans mix in Nahua (Aztec) words, especially our favorite word chingar (equivalent to the f-word in English). And U.S. Latino dialects? People in Latin America just shake their head, because we often use archaic Spanish (imagine an English speaker saying thou and thee) and conjugate English words the Spanish way, such as huachar (to watch) and rockear (to rock out).
