About Spanish
Spanish is the official language of Spain, of 18 countries in Latin America and of Equatorial Guinea, with about 485 million native speakers. It is also widely spoken in the United States. The Spanish of Spain and the Spanish of Latin America are fully understandable to each other but differ in some everyday words and forms of address.
Use usted for a polite "you" with strangers and older people, and tú with friends. In Argentina, Uruguay and parts of Central America friends say vos instead of tú. Vowels always keep the same short sound. The h is silent, j sounds like a strong h and ñ is like the ny in "canyon". In most of Spain z, and c before e or i, sound like the th in "think", while in Latin America they sound like s. An accent mark shows the stressed syllable, as in café.
