Same language, different translations

One of the hardest parts about learning another language is that, depending on where you travel, the vocabulary will change. (Think of "you all" vs. "y'all" vs. "you guys" vs. "yinz"). Do you say soda, pop, or Coke?


Smartling.com made a neat little website that highlights some words that change translation depending on the Spanish-speaking country you are in. Click here to check it out.

Hot Tamale Activities - Complete one or more of these activities as a advanced/Hot Tamale blog post. Title your post the title of this blog post.
  • Select 3-5 different words and create a table or chart (or infographic) translating them across different countries.
  • Select 2 countries (perhaps Spain and Mexico) and create a table or chart (or infographic) with the different words translated
