Native Spanish-speakers: do you pronounce 'cerveza' with an 's' or a 'th'?

[Cristiano viejo]

In France, we consider it "childish" when you pronounce c/z "th", we even have a special verb for that : "zozoter" (lisp)

And we make fun of the French accent.

I am not that familar with Andalusian accent depending the province. All what I know is about the zezeo.

Yes, we the ceceo andalusians are the most known through the comedians on the TV --most of times exaggerating it to cause a major shocking impression--, etc, but it exists also the seseo andalusians --not in the same way as Canarians or Hispano Americans do--, I know them, are not that rare. Try to hear a Cordoban, for instance.

E.g.: A Cordoban speaking:

We ceceo andalusians won't ever say "disseh", but "dizeh".... only some women, marking the /s/ sound, maybe believing it's most correct... I don't know...

We call it "cecear".

Then if I told you how we consider the french pronunciation as a whole... you'd flip out...

Latin America = "s"

Guinea = "th"

West Andalusia = S

Servesita mi arma

[Alexandro]

Not really

West Andalusia = S

Servesita mi arma

Seseo is also used in Canarias

In Spain lisp is to pronounce the s as th, it is called "ceceo"

the other way pronouncing c/z as s is called "seseo", and in a certain way it is considered unsophisticated, vulgar, rural, tired, uneducated..., though not as much as the "ceceo"

Basically only Andalusians and Canarians speak so. Yes, very low class.

Hmm curious.

Are you able to pronounce the English word "squirrel"? Native Germans and Dutch can't do it, but I've never thought to ask a French.

I try to pronounce both "th"s.
I struggle with the rolled "r" (rolled only once, which makes it nearly impossible)
And then I'm supposed to mix "b" and "v", which is hopeless...

CERVEZA is the most useful word when it's time to go to the bar, and unfortunately the most difficult of the Spanish language.
