Help I need your help on something

Question

I am installing a Spanish Dictionary but they gave me a lot of different choices. Here are my choices

1) Venezuela

2) Argentina

3) Chile

4) México

5) Spain

Which one should I choose?

I from Arg but I'd choose 'Spain or Mex' if I were you :P - Pablo064, Feb 15, 2015

Answer 1

I don't think it really matters.

I have Venezuela set up on my iPhone, and it still understands words commonly used in Spain.

Answer 2

Hello Ros,

Much depends on two main factors:

1.The kind of Spanish you wish to learn and focus on: Castellaño is spoken in Spain, Mexican Spanish is obviously spoken in Mexico and USA, sounds different and has a different rhythm as well as being slower (spoken more slowly) than the Spanish spoken in Spain and other parts of the world

2 Where you are living now: The USA does tend to favour learning Mexican Spanish.

Mardle is right, I would agree with him and suggest either 1 Mexican Spanish or 2 Castellaño.

My third choice would be Chile

Then Venezuelan and Argentinian Spanish last of all. Argentinian Spanish has the Vos forms which they use , I think instead of the familiar tú

I hope this helps

Answer 3

I agree with tiempo de es. As you are based in the USA I would choose Mexico. I have been to Mexico and know there are words used differently to the way they are in Spain - just like the difference between the UK and the USA, but there are far more words that are the same.

My second choice would be Spain.

I know I have posted this before, but it illustrates how some words mean different things. You will love listening to it - the two Colombians are engaging, clever and funny. In addition, if you haven't signed up yet [it's free] sign up for the magazine which you will receive electronically.
