Languages are not monoliths. Compare UK vs US English. Similarly, it is increasingly common to get two Spanish tracks… one for “Latin American” Spanish (which is what you almost certainly learned if you took Spanish in school) and European (aka Iberian or Castilian) Spanish. One of the most obvious is that ce/ci, and some z’s are pronounced “th” and not “s”. So a Spaniard would say “cinco” as something like “thinko”. This why it’s “wor-es” (Juarez) Mexico, but “her-eth” (Jerez) Spain.
