Frequently Asked Questions

With the Spanish you will learn at VIVA SPANISH you can go to any Spanish speaking country and they will understand you. Some things are called different but the basics are the same. Strawberries are “fresas” and pineapple is “piña” in Spain while they are “frutillas” and “ananá” in Argentina. Some pronunciation may be different but not big deal. No worries.
