In Cuba the Influende of African dialects is strog
In Mexico many worsds came from Nahuatl or Arab
In Spain, the accent and some grammar change, as well.
So.... I Think the Best Spanish is in México, Costa Rica, Colombia.


and the Worst Spainsh is in Texas ( Spanglish )

What about English?
See ya

Answer 1

Oh, Great One, what you say shows your deep ignorance. The best Spanish is the spoken in Spain.
By the way, in Cuba the strong influence is from Indian language

Answer 2

What exactly is your question?

Although no dialect is "better," per se, I think the following:

Mexican Spanish is a reasonable pace (slower), generally clear, and most useful to understand if you live in the Southwestern US. So personally, this is the kind I have put the most effort into learning.

Argentine Spanish is unique, fast, and hard for a lot of people to understand. Ditto for Uruguay and Chile.

Cuban and Dominican Spanish (that I have heard) is too fast if you're just learning, but of course this is a generalization.

Spanish Spanish is like British English--where it all came from. Some people argue that the British English and Spanish Spanish are "purer" forms of the language, but I think what is more important is who you will be speaking the language with. Learn from the people you will be talking to the most.

I personally find Central American Spanish similar to Mexican Spanish in terms of learning it. You learn a lot of Central American slang in the USA in addition to Mexican slang.

The worst Spanish is Peggy Hill's.

Answer 3

Is there a question here?
By the way, all dialects of Spanish have Arabic words in them. Arabic words were borrowed into Spanish before Spanish spread off the Iberian Peninsula. For example, "azucar", "ajedrez" and "alfombra" all came from Arabic.

And I completely agree that Peggy Hill's Spanish is terrible, which of course is so ironic because she's a Spanish teacher. It's a great social commentary. And hilarious!

Answer 4

It doesn't really matter what variety of Spanish is learned. We all understand each other and that's the point.

Just don't learn Spanglish!!. And don't focus too much on the slang and idiomatic stuff of whatever spanish speaking country has to offer.

Well, perhaps, forget about Argentina, cos they really use old fashion words like "Vos" (Vos sos!!!= You are, LOL) and loads of weird stuff, but I must admit that apart of it, their conversational spanish and broad vocabulary is brilliant. Probably the best around. It can be very nice and lyrical. You can say that they are to Spanish language what Irish English is to English language.

Answer 5

Well...I speak the Costa Rican variety of Spanish and every time I say tuanis, pura vida, mae, chunche or juepucha I get made fun of. Costa Ricans also tend to use Ud. a lot more which most Latinos feel sounds strange. Dude, I've known you for 5 years, drop the Ud. So I switch to vos and then they just slap their heads and give up.

Answer 6

I'd like to learn Spanish from a Puerto Rican, just to be difficult.

English is definately butchered down here in the south!

We have a very special way of making you think long and hard about a simple sentance!

Answer 7

Spaniard

Answer 8

I'm Mexican, so the Mexican Spanish depends what part of Mexico are you from. I would say the Colombian Spanish would be the best one to learn Spanish from.
English nothing like the gold old American English.

Answer 9

A Spaniard for me, I live in Spain but we have two dialects in our Regan, Castillano & Valenciano, the latter is really hard to learn but I can just about understand Castillano.

Answer 10

Most of the spanish speaking people we run into here are of Mexican descent, so I would want to learn from a Mexican. I wish I could start tomorrow.
