Bolivian Spanish is indeed abominable. Don’t adopt their use of the language.
Their grammar is atrocious, they misplace emphasis, it’s just the worst.
And I miss it so much. I didn’t fully appreciate my years in Bolivia.
Eat all the salteñas you can get your hands on.

It probably depends on the region, but LL generally sounds like a Y.

The ‘j’ sound is more Chilean and Argentine would be a little more ‘sh’ sounding
