Argentines can't pronouce Spanish correctly!
IIRC Cubans, like Argentines pronounce 'll' as a 'j'.


Every Bolivian, Peruvian, Venezuelian, and Equadorian says "Che" not "Shay". "Shay" is how a cracker trying to pass as sophisticated would pronounce 'Che'.

I find the Che thing hillarious because I started a summer public interest law internship today and one of my supervising attorneys has a Che banner hanging in his office.

We can!!! We have our own spanish form with italian-like accent

About the ''Che'' thing, practically all argentines use the term che or have used them at least once. it's linked to argentina because i think the term originated here. It's also rarely used in other south american countries but not used in central america.
