On Accents


Does a person from Córdoba speak the same language as one from Venezuela? We could say they do. They speak Spanish. Do they sound the same? Definitely not! They have quite different accents.
Think of the way people from these places sound:

Buenos Aires city
Córdoba 
Corrientes
Chile
Colombia
México
Spain

My variety of Spanish, for one, is Riverplate Spanish (Español Rioplatense), since I was born in the city of Buenos Aires. What's yours?
With English, it's the same story: there are numerous varieties and accents. We've all heard about how British vs American accents are chalk and cheese, but there is more than that. People from Scotland and people from Australia, for example, are different as night and day, and there are tons of other examples. Each country has several different accents, just as Argentina does.
At least to me, all these accents are truly beautiful in their own way. So here are some videos for those who feel the same. Enjoy!
