Now this is a fun one, so I’ll keep this short!
I get asked about accents and dialects a lot in class, and I’ll make my declaration to the world here… Yes! Spaniards, Mexicans, Chileans, Costa Ricans, all have very different Spanish accents. But that’s not all! Just like in the United States, people in different regions from each country also have different Spanish dialects. A Spaniard from Granada would have a very different speech pattern than one from Barcelona. Spanish is just like American English where our location plays a large part on how we speak!
This is a really fun quiz from YouThink.com. The quiz actually does a great job of placing your own English dialect on the map! Give it shot, and then come back to our comments and tell us how you scored!
(And, for good measure, I was placed in the “Neutral” category from NY, PA, OH, and IN. Exactly where I should be!)
