A dialect is defined in linguistic terms as a language variety which is spoken in a specific territory. In the Spanish peninsula, for example, there are different dialects of Spanish. One should not, however, mix up the different dialects in Spain with the different languages spoken in the Peninsula: Spanish, Catalan, Basque and Galician. The existence of dialects is a natural consequence of the dynamism of languages. For example, throughout its evolution, Spanish has adopted unique characteristics in the different places where it is spoken. Some of the dialects of Spanish in Spain are canario (from the Canary Islands), andaluz (from Andalusia), and madrileno (from Madrid). The different Spanish...

Marketing web based products and services in Latin America can be a real boon to small businesses, medium-sized companies and entrepreneurs. These kinds of products and services circumvent many barriers typically associated with Latin American trade. The Latin market may even appear to be invisible to many large companies due to such factors as: - disparity in economic levels compared to the USA and Europe - fluctuating currency exchange rates - high-end shipping and merchandise transfer costs - instability of governments and international trade policies - corruption - differences in local customs and regional business practices - pilferage and other major loss leaders While these factors do raise...

Latin America offers a lot of opportunities for volunteer work and especially in teaching English. This South American region offers beautiful landscape and travel opportunities to places that are more heard of than seen. Volunteering in Latin America has increased in the recent past due to a failing economy, poverty, and lack of education and political and civil wars and strife. But the fact is that Latin American nations have a wealth of natural resources, but are still considered as developing countries by those in North America and Europe.

So what does it take to make a bundle on foreign rights? I recently spoke with John Penberthy about securing foreign rights sales, and he said it really wasn't that hard. It just takes a dash of persistence, patience, and creativity! Here's my interview with John: 1. What's the most important thing authors should know when pitching their book to a FR person? Make it brief and succinct. You're pitching via email, agents get a ton of emails/day and you have to have something that will be quick and grab their attention. In my case, I wrote a brief 2 paragraph letter with a link to my 60 second trailer. So they could tell very quickly if it was something they might be interested in. At the end of the...

Reggaeton ringtones are particularly popular among Spanish Caribbean, Puerto Rican and Latin American youth, although interest has spread to the United States and even...

Birget, a student on city planning was telling her experiences in Cuba. Her experiences in the Caribbean Island were quiet strange. While she was narrating some of her observations, my discussion with walker came to mind. Walker had a marvelous experience in Belize and other Latin American countries with German descendant Latin Americans. There are German descendant minorities in almost every South American and Central American countries including Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Colombia, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. In the eighteenth century some isolated and small groups of German immigrants came to Latin America mainly from Germany, but also from Switzerland...

April Fool's Day originates from Germany. It is believed to be the brain child of Gabriel Hoffman who lived in Damstadt during the 1860's. The day is celebrated in many countries with the execution of elaborate practical jokes on unsuspecting victims. April 1st is the accepted date for April Fool's Day when both simple and very sophisticated jokes are known to catch out the unwary or the gullible. There is evidence of a similar day in the Gregorian calendar of 1582 and even as far back as ancient Rome when the practice would have been observed on New Years Day. Originally April Fool's Day jokes typically would have involved sending a person on a ridiculous errand. A builders merchant might send an...

The filibuster has been a tool available to U.S. Senators during Senate floor discussions on legislation and appointments since the U.S. Constitution was ratified. Both the Democratic and Republican parties have valued the filibuster as a means to bring compromise and bipartisanship to bitter and divisive debates. The word, filibuster, as it applies to the American political process refers to a political delaying tactic such as a long speech used by politicians to delay or prevent the passage of legislation. The older meaning of filibuster refers to the illegal act of plundering or piracy; of capturing a ship and its cargo and holding it for ransom. The etymology of the word, filibuster, seems to...

I have the very worst luck with getting wrong-number phone calls, no matter what country I live in. Believe me, when we moved to Mexico, the problem didn't get any better. When we lived in Overland Park, Kansas, the wrong numbers started the very day we moved in and had our phone connected. Someone, no, I mean thousands of people, began calling for Air-Tech Technologies. The company title is a redundancy, I know, and perhaps that's why at least seven countries were hunting down the CEO of this business to beat him senseless for that name, but no! Apparently, these yahoos sold some sort of components for jet fighter computerized navigation systems. The component did not work. These people to whom Mr...

We are all becoming increasingly familiar with the Fair Trade logo as we go around our stores and supermarkets. Fair Trade started as a small campaign and has become a major contributor to the food and drinks industry. The idea behind Fair Trade coffee, tea, chocolate and bananas etc. is to give the producer in the country of origin a fair price for their crop. To be certified for Fair Trade, the importer must follow the regulations. This means meeting a minimum price and ensuring conditions for the small time farmer to be able to operate fairly. Fair Trade involves growing organically, and some farmers may need help to switch to this system. Of course, an organic method is cheaper as it does not...

AIDS is the fifth leading cause of death among persons between ages 25 to 44 in the United States. About 60 million people worldwide have been infected with HIV since the start of the epidemic. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes AIDS. The virus attacks the immune system and leaves the body vulnerable to a variety of life-threatening infections and cancers. The growing impact of AIDS in Africa, Asia and Latin America has prompted the United Nations World Food Program to appeal to donor countries to fund food and nutrition for those afflicted. The symptoms of AIDS are primarily the result of infections that do not normally develop in individuals with healthy immune systems. These are called...

Expanish: The New Way to Learn a Language Yesterday the Argentine Secretary for Tourism announced a 20% rise in tourism in Argentina than during the same period last year. On average the people arriving are staying for longer, and coming from further afield. The Deputy Secretary of Tourism, Daniel Aguilera, said: "This information shows that tourism continues to be one of the most dynamic sectors in the Argentine economy. There are few places in the world which can offer the cultural and tourism attractions that are available in our country." In fact, tourism has overtaken agriculture as Argentina's biggest industry. This is partially due to the economic crash of 2001/2, which makes it so much...

Since the mid-1950's Chile's wood product trade has been rapidly expanding due to the cultivation of "plantation grown" softwood and hardwood trees. Chile's unstoppable growth is also projected to rise within the next 15 years, making Chile an even greater player in the world's wood product market. Chile is not the only country in South America benefiting from such fast-growing plantations. Both Brazil and Peru are beginning to enter the wood product market, but not with such ferocity and versatility. Chile has systematically managed to capitalize on both the raw product production and the bi-product product production of its wood products. Experimentation with such fast-growing hardwoods, primarily...

Effectively managing a multicultural business requires at least a basic knowledge of your employee's culture and traditions. Familiarity with both is essential because each has a bearing on an employee's every day behavior. Our cultural identity helps us feel like we are "part" of the society around us. It keeps us from feeling isolated and sometimes it even helps us know how to react. For example, as Americans, we know it's appropriate to stand and place our hands over our hearts when we hear "The Star Spangled Banner" because it's part of our culture. Traditions involving family, religion, education, and nationalism play a large role in anyone's life. Personal appearance, ethics, and etiquette are...

Bali. Indonesia. I wonder what the world?s view of Bali is today. Once, before October 11th, 2001 it was safe to bet that it was thought by many to be in the south pacific somewhere, courtesy of Mr. Rogers and Mr. Hammerstein from the musical South Pacific. After that date it was perhaps seen as a Muslim militant stronghold following the horrendous night of bombing that destroyed the lives of so any when the clubs Sari and Padi?s were targeted. This was strengthened by the bombs of October 1 2005, when once again, tourists became the victims as two more sites were bombed. As a long time visitor to Bali I have to say that both views are wrong. For one thing, Bali is in the Indian Ocean, part of the...
