Since i’m little I’ve watched many telenovelas with my grandma, so I think I’ve developed a skill of identifying Spanish accents! :sweat_smile:

I found it interesting when in Panama, as they all said I had a European Spanish accent. I didn’t even realise I had an accent :joy:.

Haha! One of the main differences between European Spanish and other accents is the way “c” or “z” is pronounced. In Spain, it’s similar to the “th” sound in English, whereas in Panama they say 's".
