Here is a link to a quiz I found that tests you on your knowledge of Latin American vocabulary (words used in specific countries). This could be fun both for native and non-native speakers.

Aquí hay un enlace para un examen que encontré que te prueba el conocimiento del vocabulario Latinoamericano (palabras usadas en unos países específicos). Esto podría ser divertido tanto para los hispanohablantes como para los aprendices.

Here is the quiz in English: How much do you know about Latin American vocabulary?

Aquí hay la prueba en español: ¿Me Repites? No Entiendo tu Español

I only knew guaguas for autobuses, the rest was guesswork, oh dear, much like Tosh ( 7).
I don't think I can ever go to Latin America, I will have no idea of what food will arrive on my plate, if indeed any..

That was fun. I got 9, but they were mostly educated guesses, not actual vocab recognition.

I had no idea what a lot of them meant!

In Nicaragua and Cuba ‘churre’ means an accumulation of wet and/or dry dirt????

8, but I must confess, they were all calculated guesses lol. The vast majority of my spanish knowledge is spanish from Spain, which is just as well, I suppose, given my performance here!
