I'm not Mexican but Latin nonetheless, and I'm pretty sure only Spaniards use "vosotros". The thing is that in most schools in Latin America -disclaimer: that I know of-, even if it's obsolete, they teach us the vosotros conjugations anyway -to our annoyance as students. This is why if a Latin American person travels to Spain, can still understand the weirdness that is verbs in Spaniard Spanish. Sort of.

And hell, I'm living right now in Spain and, in my experience, the average Spanish people can still more or less get what you said even if you don't use vosotros conjugations. Which is a relief, because I still use the ustedes form for plural you sometimes, when I forget.

But yeah, I imagine that your experience must've sucked a lot.

	Nah, it wasn't too bad. I just had to think about what my family was saying a little more. But I got a bit of a Castillian accent from being over there, which was cool. (Reply to this)(Parent)
