It is a lisp, albeit on purpose ... to further confuse things in parts of Spain with different languages the shared words don't necessarily have that lisp!

Best thing would be to go to a Spanish speaking country for a holiday, once you've been forced to use it on strangers you'll loose your language anxiety and it gets much easier (I live in Spain and work in Spanish, I'm not very good, but also no longer worried about muddling through).

When was that? Last time I tried it was a couple of years ago.

As for the difference, outside of Spain the conjugation of Vosotros (you, plural) isn't used, but speaking to strangers is much more formal. Also, there's a lot of vocabulary differences which can be confusing for non-native speakers.

Good luck with your learning, it's a great language :-)

As with so much in life, it's best to read the manual first. It can get a little dry in places though, like any instruction manual, but I enjoyed all of it because I'm the sort of person who likes normal manuals, lol

Last time I looked it still did a weird mix of American and European Spanish, too

Suddenly the Broccoloid episode of The Powerpuff Girls reads as anti-LGBT propaganda

Oh fab, I'll keep an eye out for it. It's one of my favorite books :-)

It's worth noting that Madrid, having been the center of the Franco regime, has a right-leaning populace and the Vox party has pushed things further in a similar fashion to the Trumpistas in the US.

I believe this is lashing out because the central government is socialist and has made recent decisions which the fascists don't like.

Rules for assault and domestic violence are a bit of a mess in Spain in general, there's some things that just aren't covered.

Indeed I can, just not well.

It is at that :-)

Ah ok, here we just have to pass a roadworthiness test, have proof taxes were paid when it was new, and pay an admin fee. That being said, this is the home of trials and enduro so of course it's easy, lol
