yes it depends on your accent...

Cinco
if you would usual say Sink-Oh instead of THink-Oh... then say which ever you've learnt

I'd say something closer too EN-feeE-Mah, but with-out the sharp sound of the F.

when you say Z, CE, CI or S it is all with a TH/F sound it is called seseo, and is very typically Andalusian(Spain)


the diffrence is comparable in English to Oregano, and how the U.S English prounace it compared to British English, so people will understand as long as you say the word clearly


yesi1234
nope as enthima

The Spanish lisp is only an accent used in certain regions of spain. If you learned Spanish in the US, or elsewhere, you normally do not use the lisp.


You can say "encima" and sound perfectly normal. I actually find it obnoxious if people are going to exaggerate the lisp.

No, never.

It has to be pronounced like a th in English.

LatinAmericans, Canarians, and some Andalusians would pronounce it like an s.

But never f.


dart
It's a theta...th...as in think.

And always...when the c is soft. And a z. so...Hace is pronounced Hathe...and hizo = hitho.


And a d, especially between two vowels is a th like in the...(more vocalized) as in Vallodalid...Bah yoh tha lith.

or sometimes it completely disappears...as in Pescao...(pescado).
