Colombia or Venezuala? Where would you go for a week or two of language immersion?
NOT Venezuela. Chavez is a lunatic and if you are a Gringo you will find that in many places you are not welcome. I would, if only for security, not got. (And I live in Colombia part of the year) The Colombian accent is pretty and easy to understand. However, be aware that Colombians use verbs that are NOT accepted in other countries. For example.. Colombians use the verb"coger" which means to grab or take. But in some countries its the equivalent of the "F" word. Also, for example, Colombias would say "Estoy Mamado." which means I am tired or worn or sick and tired. However in other countries (Mexico especially) It has a very powerful ual meaning. Colombian Spanish is very pretty.. and easy to listen to.. especially if the person speaking it has a higher level of education.. Id say NO to VZ and go to Colombia. And besides if I had to choose between Maracaibo and Cartagena.. Cartagena would win hands down every time.
