God, i would have a hard time trying to understand that! It was hard
enough trying to understand the video with the sevilleno! I have also
noticed that Spanish of the Latin American countries tends to be a bit
harder than Castillian Spanish. Castilian Spanish is a little softer and
sounds a little different ( those of you who have heard it know what i'm
talking about). I do also like the Argentine way of pronouncing elles and
y as a "zh" sound (i have noticed this with some Colombianos).
