What are the regional differences?

One example is the Latin American term for skirt (“pollera”), which for European Spanish speakers conjures up images of a woman selling chickens rather than an item of clothing. And particularly challenging is the fact that almost every Spanish-speaking country has its own word for beans (Spain: “judías”; Venezuela: “caraotas”; Colombia: “fríjoles”; Mexico, Peru and Central America: “frijoles”; Argentina, Chile and Paraguay: “porotos”; the Canary Islands: “alubias”). There are some interesting grammatical differences as well: in European Spanish, “tú” is used for the personal pronoun “you”, and while it is used in South America, in some countries (primarily Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay) it is replaced by the word “vos”.
