When traveling, if you have experienced having said something out of place or not understanding a phrase during conversation, even though we speak the same language or are as fluent in it as we are in our Mother tongue, you are not alone. This is because, every country, aside from their own accents within the language, also includes new idioms or different meanings to existing words.

It is due to this fact that a new, informal online dictionary has been created for the purpose that we may learn and enjoy ourselves learning the more commonly used words in the colloquial language of some Latin American countries. The dictionary AsíHablamos.com has a broad database which you can navigate alphabetically, by words or filtering by country.

Even though almost all the countries of Latin America speak Spanish, with this dictionary you may be able to see how different the meaning of the same word can be in different countries and a lot of times within your own country. AsíHablamos.com not only offers you the terminology in each country but also, an example of its usage in order to be able to understand the context in which it is used.

This tool also invites us to continue constructing this dictionary in order to enrich it and allow it to be of great use to all travelers.
