Spanish Language
Spanish Language posts cover Castilian Spanish as it is taught and spoken, plus the differences between peninsular and Latin American varieties. Articles look at the formal versus informal address with usted and tu, the distinct vosotros form used in Spain, the lisp on c and z that distinguishes most peninsular speakers, the major regional accents from Andalusia to Galicia, the use of the present perfect versus the simple past and the relationship between Castilian and the other co-official languages Catalan, Galician and Basque. There are also notes on study options including the DELE certification.
