    Re: Translating app.?

    It's true...the Spanish I learned in school is quite different than the Spanish that my Mexican side of the family speaks. I basically had to learn Mexican Spanish in order to speak correctly to them. However, if I speak the more formal Spanish that I learned in school...which is more like Spanish spoken in Spain...my family does understand what I am saying...they just laugh at me a lot.

    English in Britain varies also often dialects change within a matter of miles it's quit remarkable for such a small country.Also Welsh varies a lot.People from North Wales speak a very different Welsh to that which I speak.Those who aren't familiar with Welsh think it's a completely different language and I can't understand a bloody word their saying most of the time lol
