While deciding to choose a location, language characteristics are also important. Spanish, which is spoken in 21 countries, may differ in accent and usage of the words from country to country. The largest difference can be seen in Spanish spoken in Spain and Latin America. The verb conjugations in certain ways might be different. In Spain, the verb form “vosotros” is still under usage while in Latin America it’s almost faded away. It is rarely allowed foreign words to get in the language the purest Spanish is said to be found in the region where the city of Salamanca is located, where the Castilian language (Spanish) originated from.  Like in every language accents vary in Spanish as well owing to the diversity of places it is spoken.  Argentineans are famous for pronouncing the Spanish “ll” like “je” in French. Spaniards from southern Spain are often accused of dropping off the letter “s” from the end of words.

It is important to know that despite the variations in verb and word usage, Spanish speakers can communicate with each other with no problems regardless of where they are from, much like an American and a British speaker have no troubles carrying on a conversation.
No matter where you choose to study Spanish it will add you an extra understanding of the culture and the language. Besides there are several courses that you can combine so that you can get to visit wherever you want.
