The best Spanish speaking country?!

Question

Hi everyone, I have heard lots of people on Spanishdict say that they have been to a Spanish speaking country, and they had un gran tiempo and it improved their Español a lot. I have never been to a Spanish speaking el país (but would love to someday!), and solo para diversíon, what Spanish speaking country do you think is the best, and why? Respuesta en Español o íngles.

Answer 1

Yo diría que en cualquier país de habla hispana uno puede aprender a hablar el Español. Sin embargo es mi opinión que para aprender a hablarlo “mejor”, países como España en Europa, Costa Rica en Centro América, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador y Argentina en Sur América serian las mejores opciones. Todos los demás hablamos mucha jerga y la base del idioma que construiríamos al aprender no seria tan firme como en los países ya mencionados.

That is very true. It's like "Hmm, would I learn better French in New Orleans, Canada or Paris?". There's a lot of dialects out there. - Yeser007, Nov 15, 2009

Answer 2

I'm biased. Colombia or Ecuador. I haven't lived in very many Spanish speaking countries (just Colombia and, briefly, Venezuela), but I've done some traveling in other countries. I learned Spanish in Colombia, but I've never had any trouble with the differences in accent from one country to another. I work just about as well with folks from Argentina or Bolivia as I do with people from Colombia.

Answer 3

Ye será imposible - o casi imposible - equivocar. Cada país de habla hispana tiene su encanto. Si prefieres aprender algo de la cultura indígena, has de visitar a un país con alto porcentaje de población indígena. Si te atraen la cultura y la historia de Europa, tu selección será España. Si te encantaría ver una gran variedad de geografía, pues tal vez Chile (tiene un desierto, lagos, montañas...algo de todo). Si buscas una experiencia de eco-turismo, Costa Rica tiene toda la fama.

Buen viaje!

Answer 4

España, Costa Rica, Mexico, Argentina, they are all well known places to go, if you like archieology and exploring more about latin america and its history, go to Latin America, Guatemala has pyrimids long before the spaniards envaded, go on wikitravel, that could help you, another tip, in practicing Spanish, read wikitravel in Spanish, they say more about the country there than the english version...(but read both so u understand about the places you would like to visit....aswell as learning more vocabulary and how to use the words. good luck!

Answer 5

hahaha I think everybody's going to be pretty biased in these responses... I've only lived in Spain as far as spanish speaking countries go, but it's INCREDIBLE there!!

you've got to check it out.... Plus according to the Spaniards, they speak the most 'correct' (read: best), Spanish

Of course the mother country would think that :) - BellaMargarita, Nov 15, 2009

Yeah, I agree with you Margaret, and I also do think Spain sounds like an awesome place to visit! :) - April-Sarah, Nov 15, 2009

Answer 6

We did a dive trip to Panama a couple of years ago. The locals had a lot of fun with my Spanish. This was the worst scuba diving we had ever experienced (Pacific side) but the country was so beautiful and the people extremely friendly. Panama ranks numero uno conmígo.

Cool- Panama! - April-Sarah, Nov 16, 2009

Answer 8

I was born and raised in the U.S., currently living in Argentina. I highly recommend Buenos Aires. If you want something closer to the States, it's hard to beat Colombia...very beautiful country and people.

Answer 13

What is the spanish and accent like in Venezuela????

There are a lot of different accents in Venezuela, like any large country. I lived in Caracas. It sounds a lot like Puerto Rican, Cuban, Carribean in general. Very fast, no S's on the ends of words, and they glide over the D's in between vowels. - KevinB, Sep 21, 2010

Oh, and they use a tremendous amount of slang and idioms. And they claim they don't speak Spanish, they speak Castellano. - KevinB, Sep 21, 2010

Answer 14

Arriba Mexico!!!!!!!! Nicaragua y Costa Rica son paises bien chidos!

Answer 15

I am Venezuelan. Venezuelan accent is one of the most neutral in Spanish, and in the Andes region where I am from the language is more clear and the words are better pronounced than the rest of the country, also Central region accents are fine!...dont go for Zulia or Oriental accents...pretty bad! and too much slang!!
