Spanish Language Cohort
 
 

The Spanish language has many varieties, but students in the classrooms are usually exposed to a limited array of these varieties. This website offers students of Spanish with few opportunities to travel, or that do not have access to oral manifestations of the Hispanic culture, the chance to experience the uniqueness that exists in the different Spanish dialects. Users will find samples of real oral Spanish language in the form of dialogues. These dialogues showcase the different accents and varied vocabulary found in each of the Spanish-speaking countries. With a simple click, users can meet native speakers from different Spanish-speaking countries and hear them talk. Each dialogue follows the same outline, but each one will use vocabulary that is specific to the country. Find out how a skirt is referred to in Argentina, which is different from how it is said in Chile, or in Mexico. Check your listening comprehension, and see how many Spanish dialects you can recognize. For the ultimate experience in comparing dialects, check the online radio stations that have been linked to each of the countries.
