Diferencias entre español de Venezuela y Colombia
Venezuela and Colombia share a border and the common language of Spanish. In this video, we are talking with Alfredo from Venezuela. Maria and Alfredo talk about the differences between Colombian and Venezuelan Spanish. At the beginning of the video, they talk about the different words each country uses for certain things like the Colombian and Venezuelan words for banana and popcorn. At the end of the video, they talk about the difference in slang words used in each country. Like the different slang words for money, friend, and cool.
What did you think? Could you tell a difference between his Venezuelan Spanish and Maria’s Colombian Spanish? Did you find one easier to understand than the other?
Remember at the end of the day they are both speaking Spanish and are able to understand each other. The same way that if you are a native English speaker in the United States you are able to understand a person from Australia. Lots of Spanish students get really tripped up on the type of Spanish they want to learn. Maria always suggests learning the type of Spanish from the country that you are going to be using it in the most. So if you are planning to live in Colombia then a teacher that is from Colombia would be great for you. You would hopefully learn some slang and words that are used in Colombia that might not be used in other countries. However, don’t let that hold you back at the end of the day Spanish is Spanish and you will be able to be understood.
