mantarayatravel.com - Since I moved to Bogotá I´ve been fascinated by the subtle quirks of Colombian culture. I use my blog to keep track of the astonishing variety of culture, food, nature, music, activities, hotspots and everything else that I love so much about the magical wonderland that is Colombia. The thing that captivates me most about Colombia is its unmatched diversity. Yet despite such tremendous diversity there is one thing that everyone who visits Colombia agrees on; the friendliness and joy of the people is what most makes you want to stay.

www.livestream.com What has always interested me are languages. Specifically, how the dialects and accents of one language can sound so different and sometimes incomprehensible to fluent speakers of the language. There is always preference, and from what I understand Spanish is no different. Puerto-Rican Spanish is sometimes indecipherable for me. Dominican is almost as difficult for me to understand. And from what I have been told, and through my own experience, Colombian Spanish - especially that spoken in Bogotá and Medellín- sounds lovely to Spanish speakers. I would have to agree, it is my preference for Spanish dialect. As with English we all have our preferences. Many Americans simply love the England's London middle-class and blue-color class accent. However, the upper-class accent can sound a bit condescending or "stuffy" to listen to in certain matters. Certainly a doctor may sound better with a upper-class English accent, however I would be hesitant to accept relationship advice from such a person. While, Ireland's Cork accent may be as difficult for many native English speakers to decipher (and the same goes for the pejorative term "Pikey" English) as Puerto Rican Spanish is for native Spanish speakers. And if you don't speak a word of Spanish, you can always check out a foreign culture by clicking on the link above.

Medellin, Colombia www.medellintraveler.com Colombian Spanish Accents, performed by comedians on "La Luciérnaga" radio show. This is a compilation of several of the many variations of Spanish in Colombia as performed by comedians from the "La Luciérnaga" radio show in Caracol Radio. "La Luciérnaga" (meaning "the firefly") is a daily three-hour show of political satire and humor that has successfully run since 1992 on Caracol Radio, one of the main radio networks in Colombia. All female voices in the clip are performed by Alexandra Montoya. The male voices include Pedro González and Óscar Monsalve. As in most societies, language variations in Colombia depend not only on geography, but also on age and socioeconomic status. Bogotá and Medellín, the two most populous cities in Colombia, are large enough to contain several distinct Spanish accents that can be easily identified by all Colombians. The linguistic case to call these variations "dialects" (as opposed to simply "accents") is hard to make, given that there are neither grammatical distinctions nor broad vocabulary differences among them, only variations in pronunciation. A consequence of this is that all Colombian accents are mutually intelligible. There are two main Colombian Spanish accents conspicuously missing from this ensemble. One is the accent spoken along the Caribbean coast of Colombia. It resembles Spanish accents across other Caribbean countries (such as Panama, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, and coastal ...

The major concept is to show everybody how native speakers use their own languages in everyday life. To begin with we have purposefully not written any subtitles. We would very much appreciate for you, the viewer, to write the subtitles yourselves and send it to us. This will not only improve your own foreign language skills, but will also help others to learn.

One of the benefits of teaching English as a Foreign Language abroad is the opportunity to immerse in and enjoy culture that tourists may never get to see. Like these Pacific coast folk dancers in Colombia performing at the Santiago de Cali University in Cali, Colombian. Note the similarities to African rhythms.
