That makes sense that they’re dumbing it down for people since their “cu” sounds like our “qu,” but it’s not the proper way. Just cuz you can speak it and that’s the way a lot of people are doing it over there doesn’t mean that it’s correct.
Cuando sounds like “kwando.”
If you say “quando,” if you pronounce it the way it’s spelled, you’re saying “kando.”
Take the word “queso.” Queso sounds like kay-so. It’s a “k” sound that the “qu” makes. You don’t say kway-so. And if you do, you fail.
And I was saying that “when” is “quando” in Italian, but “cuando” in Spanish.
