Many countries speak the same language but sometime, words can have different mean. In a country one word can be a swear word and in other a regular word. For example, I lived in Madrid and there I heard a lot of word with a bad meaning for my. In another occasions I used some words and the people saw me with a strange face. Spain and Venezuela are on different continents but that happen here too. On this course i have a Colombian friend. sometime when we spoke in Spanish we need asked about the sense of the sentence, and Colombia is the country next to Venezuela. We are neighbors.
These differences weren't only about words. Here, on the English course I am learning about others cultures. Now, I know are many different between it. For example, for the Latin people are normal speak with strange inclusive, sometime is OK if you interrupt other people. But that is unthinkable for a Asian person.

It's very interesting, isn't it Vanessa? I also find that in some cultures, people speak loudly and others (Canadians) speak softly. The people who speak loudly sound angry, but they aren't, that's just how they speak. And some cultures enunciate their words very clearly. I think Canadians tend to mumble, so then other cultures have difficulty understanding us.
