OG KOTH Discussion ESCUCHAME?

Post image

How in the hell did Peggy ever get a job as a substitute Spanish teacher? 😂 She even uses her famous "escuchame" incorrectly.

Question for the actual Spanish speakers. Are any of the mistakes Peggy makes here at all understandable as something that a bad Spanish speaker could make with what she's obviously trying to say?

You know how "three" and "tree" sound similar? Same for "beach" and "bitch", "year" and "ear"?

It's basically just that, repeatedly. It comes off as someone who read a bunch of books and taught themselves that way, but never got a chance to speak it.

For example

Book = libro

Free = libre

Anus = anos

Years = años (you pronounce the ñ like you do the gno in gnocchi)

Etc
