I’ve been going to a Latin American Spanish speaking church for a year or so and I can tell you about my experience here. This congregation is a mixture of all Spanish-speaking nationalities and I have asked this question to a great number of people. By far and large they say that the Spanish accent from people living in Lima the capital of Peru is the best; meaning that it is very clear and the people don’t speak overly fast. Even a Spanish professor from Paraguay told me this. She said that it’s better, especially for males, to avoid ‘Spanish’ Spanish because unless you’re planning to live in the country or physically be in contact with Spaniards all the time that the Spanish that Spaniards speak, is a dying language. She commented that the lisp-like aZTHul (azule) sound that Spanish people make is quite laughable, specifically when men make it because it makes them sound a little bit, coughs...how can I say? .. effeminate. Apologies to any Spanish men reading this. I actually like your accent.. (except for the lisp like sounds). Argentine accent is pretty good, too. However they pronounce doble ll as ‘sho’, for instance, ‘calle’ becomes ‘cashe’. However it’s also quite musical as is the Colombian one which is great if that is your cup of tea. My personal opinion is that when you’re learning any language it’s important to have access to a variety of accents especially if you like being in the international community because you’re going to bump into people that use different pronunciations and slang. I don’t pretend to be an expert on the matter but if anybody has any questions they can iMessage me or email me [...] ¡Suerte! (English/???/español)
