Learning Spanish? FORGET about Castillian Spanish!
In Spain, "they married him" and "they hunted him" sound different and have slightly different meanings, but in America they're pronounced exactly the same. This is because Spain has a "distinción" between the phonemes /s/ and /θ/, while in America we have "seseo", that is, we only have the /s/ phoneme. Why this difference? Is the "distinción" found in Spain Spanish the "original" pronunciation? Is the "seseo" found in America a corruption of this "pure" Spanish? Come with me in a trip through the history of the Spanish language to find out the truth behind "distinción" and "seseo"!
