Hispano America
This blog is about the varying accents found in Latin America. I like the beginning of the blog when the author asks the question, "have you ever thought that you or people around you speak 'without an accent'?" This is a very common misconception a lot of people have thinking they don't speak with an accent but in a culture so diverse like Latin America there are so many different kinds of accents.
Furthermore, the blog talks about how different hispanic cultures, although they are speaking the same language have different words for some things. For example: In Mexico, Cuba, and Colombia fruit is called "Fruta" but in Chile and Argentina its "Frutilla".
Another word that has so much variety in Latin America is the word for when you say bro to your friend.
There is a great chart that explains that in Mexico it is: "carnal" "compa" or "guey" but in Guatemala it is "Mano" short for hermano, and interestingly in Bolivia and Peru just saying "bro" is very common.
