    te digo que a conocer una colombiana y oir la phrase "en Colombia hablamos el mejor español..", me choca la idea que existe un dialecto mejor que el otro y se parece muy creido del parte de la persona, pero supongo que es no mas una cuestion del gusto como dijo Suzana.

    Hi イカリス,

     

    Jesse gives a great breakdown of the demographics of how many/speak what. I also agree with him that the difference in region will prove negligible.

     

    I ran into this when I was moving to Argentina. Many people told me that I should worry about the difference in language because I was used to speaking mexican spanish. It really isn't true, you find small differences in accents and vocabulary but once you become more fluent they wont pose as barriers in communicating.

     

    Some points that I would consider.

    Television

    Televisions broadcast many shows across all latin america in Mexican Spanish because of it's population of 122.3M. Spanish speakers in latin america is around 400M. So when they have to dub foriegn shows they pick mexican spanish, this familiarizes the rest of latin america with Mexican spanish.

     

    Vosotros and el Voseo

    Spain is pretty much the only country that conjugates with the pronoun "vosotros." Argentina and I think Central America are really the only places you will her the voseo tense. In the end it wont really matter because they are easy to understand what the person means even if you dont know how to use the tense.

     

    Spanish accent

    The Spanish accent is generally seen as very proper or of higher class as seen in the Mexican film <em>Nosotros los Nobles. </em>If your intention is to pick up chicks outside of Spain, idk, it might come in handy.

     

    Best of luck,

    La nourriture de ma ville Certaines personnes mangent pour vivre, mais je vivre pour manger. Ma specialite regionale est probablement de la cuisine mexicaine. Quelque chose (repa) base au tour de la viande. Dans le nord du mexique et le sudest des etat uni il ya une culture de relevage du betail. Si je devais donner a quelqu'in la nourriture de ma villa natale il serait une reduction (coupe? - "cut") de "arrachera." Il s'agit d'un morceau de viande a partir de la partie interieure inferieure (inner lower) des cotes (ribs). C'est une viande tres tendre.

    Tunisia

    Tunisia is a beautiful country in north africa, surrounded by the mediteranean sea, so it could trades and exchanges with different countries from everywhere. Its history is very rich, in the originally there were only berber occupants, after there're followed by many civilizations occuped tunisia like punic, roman, ottoman, arabic... and later french.
    our culture is very rich, every civilization who occuped tunisia left behind languages and culture.
    we're very influenced by italian and french culture because there's are many tunisian living in those two contries. (?) there and it aims to.
    Our language is a mix between arabic, berber, french and sometimes a little bit of italian.
    Same thing goes for cooking!
