Castillian and Spanish mean the same thing


Imagine that the english langauge could also be called british

In that case, castillian would be like english, and british like spanish


Castillian spanish I bet means spanish as spoken in Castile

Arrian, were you taught to pronounce "z" and "c" before an "e" or an "i" (like in celos or cinco) as th in think?

And ll as the lli in million?

In that case you were taught to speak as in castile, it is a difference of pronounciation, not of grammar.

In latin america "z" and "c" in front of "e" and "i" are all pronounced like "s"


The only grammar difference between Spain and most of latin america is in Spain they use vosotros

Spanish has 2 words for second person singular Tu*, which is for people you know well, family, coworkers, people of the same hierarchy ,friends etc
And usted, which is more polite

Spanish also has 2 works for second person plural, vosotros and ustedes, the difference is the same as between tu and usted, in spain they use both, but in latin america they only use ustedes.


*I did not put "vos", because it is only used by a minority of latin americans, around 20% of spanish speakers
