Language and Culture

Language and Culture come together in the process of learning a new language. Speaking Spanish from Spain and speaking Spanish from Peru is not the same. Each country uses different words and slangs to express and idea. also we have to take into account its culture when learing another countries lenguage.
In some Spanish countries, people use "tú" others "usted" and a few others "vos". We as teacher have to teach our students the different expressions so they can use them at the right time. For nstance, it would be disrespecful to call our boss "tu" and our firends "usted".
Languages can be simple or complex. Sometimes we speak differently depending on what kind of person we are talking to. Talking with your friends is not the same as talking with your boss. We need to say the right word at the right time.
