"Okay, that's sufficient - your mother is feeling really infirm."
"I'm in agreement with everything you say."
"Marvellous! I'm enchanted by the idea."
Bueno, está suficiente - tu madre se siento muy enferma.
Estoy de acuerdo con todo lo que dices.
¡Maravilloso! Me encanta la idea.

Spanish is like posh English
This is what English would sound like if we used the same words as Spanish...

Do you know if the same applies in Spain? I've always been fascinated by the fact that Afrikaans and Quebec French sound quaint to continental Dutch and French speakers, like they were stuck in a time warp, while the "mother country" moved on.
Hi Chris! Cool to hear from you! I don't know the answer to your question... I guess my examples were fairly colloquial so they may use different expressions in Spain, but my feeling is that it would be much the same... Not that us Latin Americans care about Spain anyway :P
