Different ways to talk languages Well it´s a topic that I have experienced because I´m Spanish and my wife is Colombian and from time to time we argument due to we don´t understand each other spite the fact that we speak the same language. Sometimes the same words said in Spain or in other countries which the spanish is the official language could get you in trouble or not mean nothing important, moreover I realized that the pronunciation is a little bit different, for example the latin american pronounce the letter "s" instead of the letter "z". On the other hand, a similar case happens among U.S.A., Canada, U.K, Australia and countries of Africa where english is the official language. I´m sure that they would have the same problem that we have. The question is: How can we find a solution?. In my opinion it´s something that we can fix by the global relations among citizens of the whole world using sources like this(italki).

Different ways to talk languages

Well it´s a topic that I have experienced with because I´m Spanish and my wife is Colombian and from time to time we arguement due to the fact that we don´t understand each other despite the fact that we speaking the same language. Sometimes the same words said in Spain or in other countries which the spanish is the official language could get you in trouble or not mean nothing anything important. Moreover, I realized that the pronunciation is a little bit different, for example the latin american pronounce the letter "s" instead of the letter "z" (they sesear in the south of Spain too, I think that's where the seseo of the Americas comes from).
On the other hand, a similar case happens among U.S.A., Canada, U.K, Australia and countries of Africa where english is the official language. I´m sure that they would have the same problem that we have.
The question is: How can we find a solution?. In my opinion it´s something that we can fix by the global relations among citizens of the whole world using sources like this(italki).
