Jacks and Poalo's Spanish conversation

Yes. That's about right. Her Spanish is actually atrocious, so the idea of making her character multilingual was pretty ridiculous.

actually it is possible to understand the Spanish they speak in Mexico and not the Spanish they speak in Spain because the slang is totally different. Mexican Spanish is very different from Argentian Spanish and Venezuelen Spanish. If it's not your native language and you're not fluent it can be very difficult to understand different types of Spanish. But who knows, maybe the other poster was just talking about accents :O)

"Thats like saying you understand American English but not English English. "

I dunno man, that's not really unheard of either. I've met some people (born and raised in America) who seriously need the subtitles on if they're watching a British film because they can't understand what they're saying otherwise. Beyond the accent, there's stuff like different terminology or colloquialisms to contend with. I don't think it's unreasonable to note differences between English spoken in America and English spoken in England.

I can't really speak for the original poster, of course. I don't even know the rules of the basic language of Spanish, nevermind parsing the regional, dialectic, and colloquial usage differences between what's spoken in Mexico and what's spoken in Spain.

natiyou - Actually you're the ignorant one.

There are differences in Mexican-Spanish and Spanish-Spanish (not to mention there are more than one Spanish-Spanish, ex. Andalusian, Catalan, etc). Obviously different regions have variations on the language (like English and American-English; loo=toilet, etc).

And there are even Mexican words that Spanish people don't understand. For instance I was once on a board and Spainards were asking what a word mean't because in Spain it means something completely different from it's meaning in Mexico and it even had a different meaning in another Spanish speaking South American country.








If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all

Yes, her accent was horrible. They should have cut that whole part out as it was unncessary to showcase Brittnay's bad job at accents. And about the Spanish. My father is from Spain and my mother is from Guatemala and I have trouble understanding Spanish if it comes from Peru, Ecuador or Cuba for that matter. So one may understand Mexican Spanish but not Spanish Spanish. They use different words for example Ustedes entienden vs vosotros entendeis.
