I'm from Spain and I think it's great for people to learn Spanish, with almost 600 million speakers. Doesn't matter which dialect you learn, Spanish is a very "close" language, not big differences like in another languages. At the end, it's all Spanish.
eres genial 😎

Good for you congratulations 🗣😀👍 and good luck with your Spanish
Ah, northern Baja California or Southern Baja California?
Obviously the US robbed California from México
In fairness: Mexican Spanish is equivalent to US English, while castellano is British English. Culturally, Mexico is the default representative of Latin America. The dialect used for broadcasts and dubs is usually Mexican unless regional specifics are required. If you reside in North America, Mexican is the most common dialect you'll encounter, except states like Florida which have Caribbean Spanish and NY, which is strongly Puerto Rican. I'm in the Midwest and it's mostly Mexican, so you have afforded to you the gift of abundance. You'll be well understood by most speakers much of the time. There's nothing wrong with tunneling your dialect then branching out.
Very well explained ...A+
This exactly why I speak and practice Mexican Spanish (Estilo Norteno) , also from the Midwest of the US, it just makes sense and feels right.
@@tymazoch3101 I just aim for a "he could be from anywhere" accent for Mexico without following too many regional specifics. No matter what though Mexico feels right for a reason: you hear it a lot.
This guy is just talking bullshit, everybody think his accent is the default, if I go to Mexico I probably will feel the difference with the "wey", "chingada" among other colloquialisms. ..aun así, me gusta la idea de que la gente alrededor del mundo empiece a mostrar curiosidad por un idioma de calidad como es el castellano.
by the way castellano = español those are sinonims
@@CapitanGen How about some proof of my supposed BS? I have evidence for the global availability and usage of dialects. Additionally: yes, "Spanish" and "castellano" are synonyms but they're not always used that way being the latter is used to differentiate between European and Latin American Spanish.

I'm Brazilian and I learned Spanish in Spain so I had the accent and everything. It was only when I met Mexicans that I realised how it was culturally a better fit. Mexican Spanish makes more sense in terms of my "identity". Like the sense of humour was a match and just the way I communicate in Brazilian Portuguese flowed easily into Mexican Spanish. So I have appreciated the switch and never looked back! Others should do it too if it makes sense for them...
What about Argentinian Spanish?😭Haha

Do you have any advise for me to follow?
I am going to give you the greatest test in Mexican Spanish,…. If you watch “Cantinflas” movies and you actually laugh, it means you have 100% mastered Mexican Spanish , not only from a language perspective but from a cultural perspective
Facts. Or El Chavo del 8, one of my teachers spoke some Spanish and could not figure out what was so funny about what they were saying. Mexican humor is truly unique and special, not any language or culture will understand.
Nonsense, you don't have to be from Mexico to appreciate Cantinflas, it helps to know some of the nuances but if your a Spanish speaker from any Spanish speaking country, you'll get it, got it? good, keep it..!
@@bull419 What they meant is that it is not as funny as if you were used to or fully aware of the Mexican slangs and customs, not all jokes land with other cultures.

As a Mexican myself, I feel exactly the same about American accent when I'm practicing my English. It feels more comfortable, it makes more sense.
Cierto. A mí me enseñaron desde pequeño el acento Británico, y ahora hablo como Australiano ebrio.
Exacto, yo igual prefiero el acento americano, me siento más identificado y cómodo jaja
Nah, by far the best english accent is Canadian. USA accent is difficult sometimes because they speak VERY fast and slur a lot of words (mostly because they use regional and racial slangs, it really is hard to understand afros xD)
@@javahikage in English they are not called afros. Afros is a hairstyle
I'll have to disagree, I find British English way easier to pronounce because of it's soft nature compared to the rough pronunciations in the American accent, but I guess it also depends on what you heard more as a child and chances are that that's going to be American English. (In my case I grew up watching Harry Potter and loved the Sherlock Holmes series).

Wow! Love your comment... Greetings from a Mexican !! La neta el español mexicano es un pedo bien cabron
There are many spanish accents in Spain, southern ones are closer to american flavours, e.g.: Canary Islands accent sounds similar to Venezuela accent for example. On the other hand in Asturias although the accent is quite different some forms aren't used much like "Pretérito perfecto compuesto" just like in some american countries. My personal view is that the spanish accents from the north-center like Castilla y Leon (Burgos and Salamanca for example) and also outside of "Castilla y Leon" in cities like Logroño or Zaragoza are easy to listen to, quite clear as all syllables are pronounced with no possible confusion with others, in the southern flavours the word endings may be relaxed ("los otros" turns to "loh otroh", "terminado" turns to "terminao", "afligido" turns to "afligío"... I would add that in certain places like Murcia, Almería and Albacete the sound of two consonants together sometimes is relaxed too, although in Albacete is much clearer). Please note that I'm not saying that in these regions people speak worse/better or more correctly just that imho it's quite "easy" to listen to. In Castilla y Leon there's "laismo", in La Rioja some people use "si sería" instead of "si fuera"... Just my two totally subjective and un-scientific cents
Stick with it!
If I was European I would do the same.

Actually we all latinos know formal Spanish, and we do very well the only difference is the accents. Ist not like hoch Deutsch and the Bavarian Dialekt. In Spanish we all can talk correctly or "understandable".
hey :) german-speaking people who speak a very strong dialect also all can speao Hochdeutsch. Maybe I didn't understand your statement correctly but what I want to say is we can speak both our dialect and Hochdeutsch :) But it is kind of unconvenient to change from dialect to Hochdeutsch so usually we will just try to talk more properly but still in our dialect if neccessary.

The most spoken dialects in movies is Spanish from Latin america?
Absolutely not.
If there is spanish from America in movies, it's only because it's dubbed the same way you find Canadian French and French from France. It's nothing more else.
The only language who dominates the world is American English because their movies and their culture is spread worldwide and it's watched and picked up in every country.
*"Can you feel my heart" plays in the background *
@Jinx Vanderz what entertainment? Lmao, here in Spain literally everything is dubbed in the national dialect
I made the opposite decision. I started off with a latin american accent and didn't have any knowledge of the vosotros form or any accents from Spain due to my education. Then I went and studied in a university in Spain and decided I liked that accent way better for myself and that I liked vosotros and it made more sense to me than referring to informal groups as "ustedes." So although I live in the US and frequently interact with hispanohablantes from L.A., I maintain my Spanish accent. And you know what, it doesn't matter because se entiende todo perfectamente and it makes for a topic of conversation.
The journey is what matters, I'm glad you found what was right for you! Sigue así :)

When you are fluent enough you will eventually understand other accents, I wouldnt recommend to you watch something in Spanish from Spain cuz the dubbing is really awful, (watch a comparison with the simpsons or something like that)

@@mmlemonade Argentinian musicians are the best! You'll find a lot of really good music from Argentina, and it will motivate you
the good thing about spanish from Spain is that you won't mess up yours c/s/z while writting. For example "casar" and "cazar" are pronounced with their respective s and z(th in english) sound. I see latinos having a hard time writting because of that. They write things like "Grasias" instead of "Gracias" or "Hasia" insted of "Hacia" and so on
That, sir, is a very good point indeed.

I'm mexican and I also prefer American English, than UK version, because it's easier and clearer to learn and understand.
There's almost no difference between standard American English and standard English from England beyond the accent and minor spelling.
@@sarfaraz.hosseini Beyond the colloquial expressions the accent is a HUGE difference... Often I don't understand British accent, despite I'm a good english student... I understand the American accent, but the British is quite difficult, specially in the pronunciation.
@@trino9490 That's likely because you're learning, and you're simply not used to hearing the differences. The standards are virtually identical whether American, English, Australian, New Zealand, Canadan, Scottish, Irish etc Native speakers have no difficulty at all with standard versions.
I'm writing to you in standard English from England, and i doubt you're barely even aware. The British style keeps the harder French spelling, and uses more Latin like _"autumn,"_ while the US switched to easier phonetic spelling and keeps more Saxon vocabulary like _"the fall."_ but still I'm certain you understand me perfectly.
The biggest differences are regional spoken accents like those from Liverpool or Glasgow, or American varients like Cajun or Appalachian Mountain.
Honestly, if you're learning, then you should start watching British shows like Graham Norton on RUclips. He's Irish, and his guests are often English, American, Australian. You can still speak with a standard American accent, and use American terms, but given you're advanced, you shouldn't have any difficulty with understanding other accents, other than you've just not heard them enough.
@@sarfaraz.hosseini It's true!.. I was able to understand very well the conversations in the Graham Norton show that you suggested.
Well, the thing is that some years ago I was watching a British tv program about some people in Rotherham, and they were talking rougher and faster than normaly, because it was related to emotional situations, and it was so hard for me to understand them clearly, that I got frustrated, because I'm a bit perfectionist.
I started to learn english at the age of 12 in the school, but I have studied by myself in my country for the most of my 30 years now.
It's just that American phonetics are so natural for me, because I've always learned from American sources, since they were the most common and the only available for me, most of my life.
However some accents can make harder to understand a language, like the southern American accent, or the Afroamerican accent, in the roughest way.
But now I know that I can understand very well the standard english, if you say so.
Thank you for your feedback
.
I’m Mexican American, so I’ve always felt like I’ve had the most generic and neutral accents with my English and Spanish and im always fascinated by all the other Spanish/English accents
I say chose the type of Spanish based on the country you like the most. If you have zero interest in Puerto Rico or Spain or Mexico don't bother with those and focus on one you really enjoy. Me personally, I really love the country of Spain. Partly because of its close proximity to Portugal my other favorite country. Whatever version you learn I don't think you'll find much trouble adjusting to another as far as intelligibility.
Yep there's no major diferente it's just like saying YOOO if u learn British you won't be able to understand American or Australian. It's dumb to say.
And I would say use the more useful one.
I love Uk English accent but honestly I had to learn American English.
Yeah, I live in Europe so out of ease and where I visit most is Spain and Spanish islands. Of course I would like to visit South America but it should be enough to get by alright ahah
Same, I live in Morocco so every Spanish speaker I met is from Spain. However, their way of pronunciation is really HARD. I think that I stick in learning Spanish of Spain just for being able to understand them, but I will pronounce the words in The Mexican way cuz the way Spanish people pronounce the c and z is a pain for me.

There are Spaniards that speak closely like Mexicans and there are Mexicans that speak loud and closely like Spaniards especially in small remote villages. There's a whole world out there, so don't worry much about the accent. There's not a unique way of speaking Spanish since the accent changes dramatically from state to state and it also changes depending on which region of Spain you are.
Any Spaniard speaks with Mexican accent, at all. Under my point of view, under the point of view of a Spaniard, we've different dialects inside peninsular Spain, but any dialect is related to mexican, maybe the one from canary Islands can sound more latino, but anyways, pronunciation and slang are quite different in the Mexican one and in the European one, for me, the clearest one, even though we tend to speak a little bit faster, and please, we do not speak that loud, that depends on the person, we can speak a little bit louder than German people of course, and as loud as French people or the South of Europe. Never compare an European Spanish speaker with an American Spanish speaker, we are so tired of listening always the same phrase "ISNT SPAIN PART OF MEXICo", no, we are europeans. All in all, they are not similiar
@@victoronsurbe3909 lol, chill man. I think Jose made very good points. Mexico and Spain are both culturally rich and complex. Spanish from Spain and Mexico can indeed be very similar. We Spaniards should stop having such a narrow view of Mexico.
@@bridgersp yes of course mexico has a very rich culture, but u know? It is different, and either ways, we both speak Spanish, but at a level of dialects, it is not the same, we have the Andalousian, the catalan dialect, and many others. And I am not saying that Spain is better than Mexico, at all, as I said before, both are very culturally rich, and fabulous countries, and I am glad that someone learns Spanish, no matter which dialect.
@@victoronsurbe3909 I like the peninsular dialect of spanish, I think it gives some depth and serenity to the language. After peninsular dialect, most south american dialects come off to me as whining and sometimes downright irritating
@@TheHungarianOak You are absolutely right. I am spanish and I live in Spain, though I've been to america, north and south, many times. And I think beyond the matter about tone and sonority, european spanish is more accurate and precise. It's like that because something that it's important to say: in many ways we behave in Spain like germans in order to speak and to do things in a fast and clear and even in a direct and strict way. That's why many south american people think about us that we are inconsiderate, but in Spain things move and work like it is in europe, always under the clock. Two things to finish. There is not a catalan dialect, but a different language called Catalan, that's a kind of mixture between Spanish, French and Italian. Myself speak catalan and it's not spanish, so you wont be able to understand at first, you will need time to learn it. And yes I'm sorry but for european spanish speakers mexican o latin american accents sometimes (almost always) sound irritaiting for us. It's not something I like to say, but it's a fact. It's because of the rhythm and the musicality of the language that at least for me is unbearable.

España no se queda atrás, es un país sumamente hermoso, me siento orgulloso de ser hispano 🇲🇽🤝🏻🇪🇸
As a Mexican I can tell that from the words you spoke in Mexican Spanish , your Spanish is really good, clear and well articulated. Saludos Hermosa.
as a fluent mexican-spanish speaker i can say you sound brilliant! what you manage to express in this video may SOUND simple but it's not. your explanation is like seeing a finished painting but not seeing the amount of work it took to create it. as a fellow language learner, i get it. very awesome video!
😭 i love this!! thank you so so much, i’m glad the effort doesn’t go unnoticed :”)
As a Mexican who's studying to become a Spanish teacher for foreigners, this videos motivates me to become a great teacher :)
you can do it!! haha that's awesome, student perspective is everything
I am studying to become an spanish teacher too!! It was great to see this video. Good luck in your teaching path
I am mexican too, by the way 😘😘
colombian spanish is best honestly
What pride to see somebody from other country wanting to learn Mexican Spanish wow thank you for loving MÉXICO I'm from Mexico and I follow you from California
Mexican when it's "neutral" is ok for Latin America. But If you are living in Europe choose Spanish from Spain. But whatever you choose is ok
Hehe, México really does change you. It had such a profound effect on me that I'm moving there in January. So excited! 😁❤️
That's awesome. Which area did you move to? And do you like it there? 😊

@@seid3366 Depends on your motivation for learning the language. Certainly, there's nothing wrong with Portuguese as spoken in Portugal, or, say, Castilian Spanish, but what is the learner's intended use or goal?
@@johnsala1619 O divertido
Im Mexican but this inspired me to try to learn Italian and Japanese but Japanese is probably the most difficult. I've always loved those cultures and those two languages.
I’m glad you spoke on this. I learned Spanish from my Puerto Rican and Dominican cousins. I’m Haitian so I grew and I grew up around Caribbean Spanish speakers but since moving, I’m around more Mexican Spanish speakers and it’s so different. I don’t know why we learn European Spanish in school.
The Spanish taught in US high schools is a mix of Mexican Spanish and European Spanish.
It’s a mix of the words you’d hear spoken by a middle class person in Mexico City or Madrid. Most Mexican Americans are not fluent enough to speak proper Spanish, so people have this idea that its somehow alien to Mexicans, and for some reason assume it’s “European.” I’d say that no, it takes some stuff from Spain, but is heavily Mexicanized.
Spanish accents' final boss has to be the Chilean variety
Yeah i agree
One accent to rule them all (LOTR reference) xD
You can’t rly call that Spanish lmao
No, it’s Gaditano Spanish.

Me, a Mexican polyglot: Hm.... my english dialect should be Scottish!
That's the worst English dialect. It's almost unintelligible.
You just made me realize that as a non native speaker of English there's literally nothing stopping me from speaking with an Irish accent on a daily basis.
@esdemamador_
Guau como aprendiste hablar así 😂
Then you have to choose, do you want to learn Scots, which is very different from any other dialect, or Scottish English, which is recognizable but understandable
I learned Mexican Spanish by default from my trips to cabo before I took a official class for it, automatically had the best pronunciation in the class
Personally, I prefer Caribbean Spanish over other dialects, but I still appreciate Mexican Spanish. I’ve always grown around Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and Dominicans, so I’m familiar with all three dialects. It really depends on your upbringing and who you surround yourself with.

That is too cute.

Sorry i forgot to mention this only applies to México lol technically it's not what it means but it's how literally everyone uses it.
Mexican Spanish FTW!
a mi tambien lo parece el mas padre jaja :D
I think it's different when you're born around only Spanish speaking people. My parents are Mexican but I enjoy the Spanish accent so much. I love everything about Spain. The accent, the people, it''s amazing. I still love my Mexican brethren though.
@Its RX Maybe, I guess I should've said, why I enjoy it lol but the Spanish speaking accent, I enjoy it a lot. Some of it sounds funny, I agree, but I still like it a lot. I like how they use their vocabulary. Maybe it's because I lived in California the majority of the time and the majority of Mexican's here butcher the language lol
@The Polyglot just wanted to be nice (: of course i know the best is...erm...venezolanian?^^
@AAron corral And I care why?
"I felt like myself" ufff qué lindo pensamiento... 🤍
The timing of this recommendation is perfect as I was searching for a way to bring me closer to Spanish
I'm so glad!! Try it out!
Born in New York City to Puerto Rican parents ;I taught myself to read and write Spanish from an early age. My three siblings( We all grew up in the same household) chose not to learn even to speak Spanish. i lived in Puerto Rico many years. i also lived in Venezuela for ten years. For 30 years of my life , vocal performance was very important and exposed me to several languages an d cultures. As a result, people rarely guess correctly where I'm from.
That means you've lost your true cultural accent, ay bendito, estar perdido.

Hi there! I’m glad u r back! Well, as a Brazilian I always spoke with the Uruguayan accent once I’m a southern guy but this year I’m preparing myself for DELE C1 and most of the materials are from Spain so I ended up changing my accent as well. And you are right here in Latin America are dozens (actually hundreds..) of accents. Amazing video! Stay safe!
I'm only 4 or so months into learning Spanish, but I was kinda struggling with picking a dialect too, so I can really relate to that. I'm sure it's not something that you have to focus on in the beginning when you don't know anything, but there are words that sound different. I've heard several times that either Mexican Spanish or Colombian are easier for beginners.
I’m an Hispanic from Texas my parents are both fluent Spanish speakers but never taught us…I have been teaching myself Spanish I’m learning Tex/American Spanish, Mexican Spanish and Spanish from Spain I’ve also started learning Portuguese Brazilian and Portugal dialects…plus a little bit of Italian and French…I just have a deep interest in the Romance languages!
i'm glad you're exploring those!!

En México también decimos: ¡sepa la bola! en lugar de decir: ¡no lo se! o ¡Sabrá Dios!, ¡Quien sabe!, ¡Sepa la chingada!..Tu puedes escoger la expresión dependiendo con quien estés hablando.
@@davydlauper4418 De hecho leí una vez que la palabra "sepa" surgió cuando tiempo atrás los franceses ocuparon parte del territorio mexicano y había muchos franceses que se habían venido a vivir acá, entonces al comunicarse franceses y mexicanos les costaba trabajo por que los mexicanos no sabían francés ni vice versa, los mexicanos para dar a entender que no sabían francés aprendieron a decir: "Je ne sais pas" (y que se pronuncia como Y'ne se pa") que significa "No sé" cuando les hablaban en francés, luego esa frase evolucionó a solamente "Sais pas", y luego se convirtió en la palabra "sepa" que efectivamente sigue significando "no se"
tambien la frase "estas en pelota" (desnudo) que la decia mi tia pero he oido unos españoles dicen "estas en pelotas".

yessss!! there’s so much to discover 🥰
I have no idea how I haven't discovered you until now. I 100% agree about choosing ONE core dialect from early on. ¡Qué chingón!
This is so interesting! I mostly learned Mexican Spanish when I was learning a year or two ago, but then I went to the Dominican Republic and spent a lot of time trying to replicate how they spoke. Choosing accents is so fun! I also learned Parisian French a couple years back, but then I started working in a Canadian airport, and tried really hard to learn a bit of the Quebecois accent (I wasn't very convincing). But choosing a dialect from the start will help soooo much! Thank you for making this video. I totally relate:)

They say “filler words” are the place where the speech naturally rests comfortably. E.g. English: “uhm”. French: “eh, eh.” Etc.
Estee
🤣 I usually stick to Amm, eeeeh... Or I just make a vowel in a word really loooooong, specially peeeeeeeeeero

hola jeje
Escogí México también y todavía creo que es lo más fácil y común, por lo menos para mí porque vivo donde están muchos mexicanos.
Es sentido común bro, esque es un español latino muy estandar con el que el resto de latinoamérica se puede identificar. Es un hecho que hay más latinoamericanos que españoles así que la decisión que toma esta chava creo que fue muy buena uwu
@@lisasperandio el español mejicano no es estándar,. Sí es más conocido porque Méjico es uno de los países más famosos de América Latina.

The problem is that Latinos are everywhere and the closest country to me is Spain I'm struggling to find a spainard to practice my Spanish with
I am in the U.K. learning Latin American Spanish. I always get asked why, because I love the way it sounds. I grew up hearing it. My senses are accustom to it. Beautiful people with a beautiful culture. Love from the U.K.
How did you grow up hearing it? Just curious
From which country, tho?
I was talking about this with a friend; they are about 20 or so countries that Speak Spanish so I agree that it's best to focus one, maybe two countries. I also live in Florida so I will focus on Colombian Spanish.
That’s the only way to truly sound like a native too (if that’s what you’re after)
You are right, however, take into account that you can group the varieties of Spanish in 3 or 4 groups, as far as pronunciation is concerned: a first group would be Mexico, Colombia, Guatemala, Costa Rica and Ecuador, which are countries that pronounce EVERY letter in a word. It is surprising how similar Ecuadorian and Mexican Spanish sound! Then a second group would be Caribbean pronunciation, which is characterized by NOT pronouncing LOTS of letters: Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Panama and some other countries in Central America. A third (and very beautiful) accent is the Rio de la Plata accent, from Argentina and Uruguay, where LL and Y are pronounced like SH and the language is spoken with an Italian intonation. What I am trying to say is that picking the variety from one country will allow you to easily understand the pronunciation of other countries (slang and idioms tend to be unique to each country though).
@@luisorozco4370 and finally Spain in which group you add it?
All of them?
In Florida, i think Cuban variant is the greatest, or not?
Bilbo hob none. They’re their own group. But unless you’re going to live in Spain. I don’t recommend to learn that kind of Spanish. It would be more difficult for you to understand other people and for them to understand you. Also the pronunciation is a little bit more tricky.
Me as a Salvadoran ima stick to my Salvadoran accent but let me watch for my Mexican brothers and sisters lol
latinos when you want to learn their slang:
Argentinians: SIIIII vamo argentina CARAJOOO
Mexicans: neta?? chido te ayudo :D
Chileans: ... por qué?
Mexicans: neta wey?? No pos, chido, no hay pedo orita te aliviano
Chileans would be like "la wea fome."

I learned European Spanish and holidaying in Spain since has gone well. However, I have talked plenty with Spanish-speakers from the Americas and *some* of them beat European Spanish for clarity. An example - much of Spain drops the S out of words if it's not the first letter, whereas with Mexico what you see on the page is what you hear. I've picked up on some of the key words where the dialects differ (eg. carro v. coche) but there's plenty more work to be done.
Ayñ, se me hace muy chido ver gente aprendiendo el español de aquí ¡gracias por el video! Por cierto, no sé si el polyglot conference del 2021 sí va a ser en Cholula o no, pero si sí espero verte por aquí, I’m so excited, al fin hay un evento políglota cerca de mí jaja
El español más chingón! y sieeee qué emoción, no? ojalá pueda ir.
as a learner of standard english i'm aware that if i go to, let's say, scotland, i will have a harder time understanding their accent because i'm not used to it, so if you're learning *any* type of spanish don't worry about understanding the different dialects (whether in spain or latin america) because.. you won't lol. each country in latin america has its own accent, its own slang, and even their own dialects, and in spain we also speak very differently from north to south. i am a native speaker of spain's spanish and when speaking to people from chile, argentina, mexico or anywhere really we have to ask each other what does X means, so don't worry 'cause even native speakers can't understand each other many times either
Standard English from Edinburgh, Scotland, London, New York, or Sydney are almost identical, but there are some accents or dialects like Scots or American Appalachian that are rare, but difficult if you're not used to them.
English in England can watch Glaswegian , Scottish films because they're used to the accent, but Americans often need subtitles, just because they're not used to hearing it.
If you speak the standard Englishthey will understand you and they will make an effort to speak standard English. Now, if you learn from 0 a very specific dialect, chances are 1 you are not understood if you go a to a different place 2 you can't understand native speakers from other places and they won't be able to mimick the very specific dialect you chose to learn because they don't understand it. Best thing is to learn a standdard version of the language, accent is not too important, but standard pronunciation, and vocabulary, and grammar. Once you're fluent in the language, feel free to pick on a particular dialect you like, but till then, it is way more usefull to learn a standard version of the language so everyone can understand you and everyone gets a chance to talk to you in that standard version so you can understand them as well.
Well I'm Colombian, and the Spanish language is so big in every sense that you always can learn something new... The ACCENTS from each country and even inside each country are so diverse but at the same time we can understand perfectly between us ❤. It's perfectly ok to learn the one that you prefer, they're not so different just the slang is different and that's the most interesting.
Colombia has some bomb novelas. I love them. And the music is fire.
Damn, this was very interesting and insightful. Thanks for making this, pretty much exactly what I was looking for.
I really don’t get the feeling that European Spanish is the default, if anything, it’s mostly overlooked, and should be paid a little more attention, because it’s pretty distinct, though still pretty easy to understand for us Latinos.
Spain is one of the best at producing entertainment and media (after Mexico and Argentina IMO) so a lot of extremely well known youtubers and series are in European Spanish. Argentine music is easily the best known in Spanish, and I guess Caribbean/Colombian reggaeton is in there as well. And Mexican memes, translation, youtubers, etc are also huge.
true
Are you from Lazio in Italy?
JAJAJ deberías de hacer más videos hablando español, hablas chidoooooo
Of all the Spanish dialects, I like the Colombian the most!
I'm honestly glad this video came up on my feed. I've been learning spanish casually for a few months now and wasn't sure which dialect I wanted to learn. I began with Mexican spanish but, wanted to give European spanish a try. Then I realized spanish from Spain is hard for me to understand because they speak so fast (I'm also not hispanic so that doesn't help lol). I also don't know/have encountered anyone from Spain. I've mostly met Mexicans and therefore more familiar with their way of speaking spanish. So I think I've chosen to stick to their dialect. Thank you for this vid ;)
glad i could help guide ya! :P
Hi, i've found your channel like a week ago and it's very interesting what you say about languages. I'm glad you chose mexican spanish, as you said, we feel flattered haha. Anyway, the idea of improving in a language in order to feel more like yourself is lovely. That's the struggle I'm having with german, I just can't feel me through it :/ (yet) haha
Thanks for the advice!
Entre los dialectos latinos el mexicano es perfectamente entendible, siempre que no exageres con las jergas. Y lo digo como peruano. Entiendo la decisión, ya que México es el país latino más grande, y es la misma razón por la que aprendí ingles americano, el ingles británico es lindo y todo. Pero ellos no son por quienes quiero aprender inglés en primer lugar.

as a Guatemalan, my suggestion to anyone learning another language is learn the standard, then you can talk like a rapper, hillbilly, cockney, Aussie or heaven forbid a new Yorker.
The problem with Spanish is that it's polycentric. There is not one standard. There are many. If you learn English, there is British English and American English and you can build your skills in other varieties based on that. When you learn Portuguese it's either standard Brazilian or standard European. Spanish is more varied in that regard, almost like the Italian dialect continuum.

in the north we also say "me cuatrapié" when we are confused, my whole life I've been saying it and I have no idea what is the actual meaning of that word
I speak Colombian Spanish. I love how Spaniard Spanish (Castellano) sounds, because it sounds so sophisticated, like British English makes one sound smart and it sounds really cool too. However, living in the American continent, it is more practical to learn Mexican Spanish, Cuban Spanish, Colombian Spanish, etc. Especially if you live in an area where there are a lot of Mexicans or Puerto Ricans, or Peruvians, etc. it makes more sense to learn the spanish of the biggest spanish speaking nationality in your area.
Any type of spanish dialect is fine & can be understood by any other spanish nationality. The differences lie only in a small number of vocabulary terms and slang phrases but can be cleared once you explain to them which dialect of Spanish you speak. 😊👍 Spanish speaking latinos love comparing the differences in the meaning of certain words. Example: Chucha means baby in certain parts of southern South America, but in Colombia it means Skunk or armpit smell. Sometimes it can lead to some laughs.
Un hablante no nativo debe estudiar el idioma sin importar el acento. Es un desperdicio de recursos didácticos centrarse en un único registro. Una vez domine el idioma ya podrá acostumbra al habla típico del país que desee.
@@santislpslp1595 Para español no importa cual tipo estudia porque un Latino Americano y un Español se pueden entender. La unica diferencia es el vocabulario y ciertas frases pueden tener significado diferente. Por ejemplo, en la majoria de los paises latino americanos el Laptop se llama Computadora. Pero en España, en castellano, se llama Ordenador. Si vives en un vacindario donde hay muchos Peruanos, tiene mas sentido aprender español Peruano que castellano, simplemente porque en Peru hay frases y ciertas palabras que no se usan en Peru. Pero si uno decide aprender Castellano e ir a hablar español en Peru, aun vas a poder comunicarse suficiente pero aun habra palabras que va a requerir mas clarificacion en Peru. Igual como en Ingles de Bretaña e ingles Americano, son similares pero con pequeñas diferencias.
I don't speak Spanish but I used to study it, I understand it and I'll learn it next year. I'm more used to the Spanish from Latin America anyway
