spanish language

Hi Daniel, I do not know those programs, but I think the difference will be in the end between choosing mexican spanish and spanish spanish.
Of those, I think mexican is the most neutral of both. Spanish spanish has an awkward accent you would not want to mix with your american accent (look in youtube for any spanish person speaking english and you will see what I mean)

In the end any of them will just do if you can communicate. It's all the same language with a few words different. It's like choosing between british english or canadian english. As long as you can communicate and feel comfortable using it, it will do.

If you are still interested in knowing more about each kind of spanish try to search on youtube videos from spanish people and mexican people speaking in spanish and listen to which you prefer.

Felipe, gracias, I have since bought the Latin American program and have been trying to "get into it." It shouldn't be hard but, I need to make it a hobby and have fun with it.

I'll try to listen in on youtube. That is a very interesting and smart idea.

Your english is very good.
Thanks for your help
Daniel

You are welcome Daniel.

Please feel free to send me a message if you need any help :D

Good luck!

Hi all,
a friend of mine spent some time in Latinamerica and he told me that the Spanish spoken in Argentina differs the most from all the other spanish "accents" in Latinamerica, especially concerning the pronunciation of the words! Is that right? Will the people living in Argentina look strange at you if you come along with your "spanish spanish"??

Hi Anneke,

As most of the Spanish speaking countries we have different accents and we may prefer to use some synonyms more than others but we all understand each other well.
It will not be a language barrier having a different accent. As a matter of fact, as the difference is not big, I have seen a few tourists that chose to switch accents.

I agree to Felipe. The Argentinian accent is actually quite "cute" - and though they do use some different vocabulary and grammar you shouldn't have a problem understanding it. And certainly they don't mind if you speak with another accent!

Les comento que no hablo ingles, pero creería que hay algunos en esta página que si entienden el español.

Podemos determinar que Argentina tiene una mezcla de razas y costumbres, de las cuales pueden desprenderse, los acentos o tonadas, como así también los regionalismos.

En Argentina existen ciertas palabras que en España no significan lo mismo, como así también en los distintos países de América del sur.
Igualmente entre todos los países de habla hispana el 95% (opino yo) se entienden perfectamente.-
