I?ve seen that Rosetta Stone and ? other language software vendors have separate version of Spanish. So how different are they? If I go to Spain to learn Spanish will I be understood by Latin American Spanish speakers here in America? Asked by Renrul26 43 origin origin ago ? Similar Questions: Spanish European Latin American Rosetta Stone Recent Questions About: Spanish European Latin American Rosetta Stone Education & Reference > Languages Answer Renrul26?s question Answers Answer from KKChickpea 2 people found this helpful Spanish I?ve studied Spanish some and according to my Spanish teacher, European Spanish and Latin American Spanish are fairly radically different.??It?s not like India, where each state has their own dialect and some are so different there?s no understanding; but it?s also not like American English and British English, where we have a rather broad understanding and word usage/meaning is very similar. ? The difference is such that if you want to be understood in both Spanish dialects, you need to be comfortable enough with one so that you can have a grasp on what the differences are from the other. ? In some respects, I think it would be easier to learn a different language altogether than to appreciate and be comfortable with the differences in the two Spanish dialects.?

Ok, let me see which is the better way to explain this. I am from Cuba and my first language is Spanish and regarding the difference between the Spanish from Spain and from Latin American (or at least from Cuba) one of them can be the use of some phonetic sounds. The problematic letters are ?B & V? and ?Z & S? in Spanish those letter have the same sound that in English or at least they should. Let me explain. In Spain they use both ?B? and ?V? as ?V? and in Cuba we use both as ?B?. Something similar happens with the ?Z? and ?S? with the Spanish people pronounce them both as ?Z? and Cubans as ?S?. Which get me to a conclusion, we both do wrong!!! Another difference is in the personal pronouns to be exact in the second person both singular and plural (you). In Cuba we use ?tu? and ?usted? for singular; being ?tu? the most friendly and familiar way and ?usted? a more formal way. For the plural we use ?ustedes?. Now in Spain they still use the very old style for that and forgive me if I made a mistake because I am not familiar with this one. They use ?vos? for singular and ?vosotros? for plural. Now, this part is a little more complex that it seems: In English most verbs stay the same as their original from with exception of the second person singular in which most of the time the only thing we need to do is to add and ?s?, that is talking about present time (I eat, you eat, he/she eats, we eat, you eat and they eat) and in Simple Past and Past Participle you just need to learn one new word for each and they apply the same for each person (ate and eaten) In Spanish this is a mess the verbs change constantly with every person (yo como, tu comes, el/ella come, nosotros comemos, ustedes comen y ellos comen) it is important to add that the verbs woodcut behave the same if you use ?tu/usted? or ?vos? the same if you use ?ustedes? or ?vosotros?. I have to confess I never learn to conjugate the verbs to use them with vos or vosotros.I just found this you can check it if you want:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-V_distinctionI haven?t read it yet but I will save it in my favorites to read it later.

SwanPrincess said: 2 When I was referring to Latin American I mentioned Cuba because is the one I know better and because it is to hard to generalize in a way of speaking Spanish in the whole Latin American when Spanish is the official language for most of the countries in there, As I understand in Argentina you will find a Spanish more similar to the European version than the Latin American one, they even use ?vos? and ?vosotros?. You are going to find a variety of Spanish as you travel all through the region, and of course you will find differences inside each country also. In Cuba for instance the provinces to the west of the country use a slightly different Spanish that the one on the east. Sign in to report abuse or send a compliment 43 origin origin ago ?
