Yeah i got a pretty good accent apart from the erray doble! Although the lisp does depend on the accent, latin american pronunciation is more of an s than a "th"

yes don't get the 'th' and 's mixed up

apparently they don't like it

I asked for a "Cervetha" when in the Dominican Republic and the bloke made a weird face at me and told me to pronounce it with an 'S'

And no i can't roll my r's

5. Breathe out, so that your tongue vibrates.

Thats the bit i cant do! Found another guide that suggests putting in the letter d before the double r and then working from there which is whats working for me. Quiero (pronounced key-aero) but if you put a d before the r it sounds a bit like the double r.

I just thought about what you said, but the thing is id still have the problem with not being able to roll my r's

A lot of spanish words have arabic influences cos of the empire in the middle ages, words like Almohada, Ojala etc
