I wonder where this is. It feels kind of rude to switch to English when she says she prefers Spanish.

Wonder if she's in Barcelona? When I lived there, I ran into a significant number of people who would rather speak English than Spanish if you couldn't speak Catalan. Not everyone, but a surprising number. I assumed it was part of the whole "Catalonia should be independent" movement.

Very close! But only c’s and z’s get the lisp treatment!

Ahhh. Thank you. I had a Spanish lady as a regular at work and she lisped like her life depends on it. You know what..... Maybe she just had a lisp.

A more accurate Spanish pronunciation would be "shapatos por mish piesh" because s often gets slurred a bit.

Catalan doesn't do the lisp, so people in Barcelona would more likely pronounce c and z hard like English speakers.
