Hey so I’m learning Spanish right now and obviously it’s Latin American Spanish, but I really love the accent from Spain. Can someone tell me the major differences between the two and some phrases/words that are used in Spain but not in Latin America? Gracias.

Every Israeli I’ve met has a near-perfect accent when trying to speak Spanish. Why is that? Is Hebrew at all similar in pronunciation?

I’m totally white but I can speak spanish better than anyone (except the mexicans) in my high school spanish class, but my teacher teaches mexican spanish, so my accent is horribly mexican sounding (and american too of course). I want to sound like I’m from Spain or Argentina.
