Master the Spanish.
Master Castilian — the famous theta (/θ/), rolled R, and distinct vosotros.
Castilian Spanish is the standard Spanish of central and northern Spain (es-ES). Its best-known difference from Latin American Spanish is /θ/, the "th" of English "think", for "z" and for "c" before e or i: "caza" /ˈkaθa/ differs from "casa" /ˈkasa/. AnyAccent scores each word and sentence against this accent.
About this accent
The phonetic identity of Spanish.
Castilian Spanish distinguishes /s/ and /θ/ ("casa" vs "caza") and keeps the "vosotros" plural form alive. AnyAccent drills the theta sound that Latin American speakers replace with /s/.
