La diferencia es como la diferencia entre el espanol de Mexico y Espana, por ejemplo.
Hay diferencias de como se pronuncian palabras (especificamente con las vocales)....... como la diferencia entre la pronunciacion de la consonante "c" en "hacer" (en mex. versus espana).
A veces, tambien, usamos palabras diferentes......por ejemplo, aqui en los Estados Unidos decimos "elevator" para "ascensor." Pero en Inglaterra, dicen "lift."

Hello Ylenia,
Not that much of a difference, almost like that difference between the Spanish in Spain and that in Argentina or Chile.
Some different words specially in informal speech and modes of expressions.
