Difference Between Spanish and Latin American Spanish
European Spanish and Spanish spoken in other areas of the world can differ significantly. Just try asking someone in Mexico the price of a jacket using European Spanish. The translation of the word ‘jacket’ is very different in Latin America than it is in Europe.
Trust us: it’s going to get a little awkward.
