Either your teacher had a speech impedement...(j/k).
Actually, some countries in Latin America have the same thing with the "S" or "Z"...pronouncing it with somewhat of a lisp.
I can't remember it, exactly, of whether it was a tribute to the Queen of Spain (Isabella?)...or something like that, that royalty wanted their people to talk that way.
