Spanish is a great language and foreigners living in Spain enjoy life much more if they learn Spanish and speak it well. But just as in various regions of other countries in the world, Andalucía has its own accent and vocabulary. So, thanks to Paqui, this page will enable you to udnerstand local informal conversations here in Andalucía and, better still, make you sound like a real local inhabitant.
