Share something you learned by going there

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

The "LL" construct, in Spanish, sounds like the "J" in "John." That's true for all Spanish-speaking countries -- except Argentina. I learned that at the airport in Buenos Aires. Everybody spoke lluvia (rain) as "shoovya" instead of "joovya".

I later learned that Uruguay also speaks the LL that way, but I didn't go there.
