Pocket-Sized Currency Conversion Cheat Sheet for Travellers

Last Updated August 19, 2023 William Tang

You are here: Home » Travel Hacking » Pocket-Sized Currency Conversion Cheat Sheet for Travellers

When travelling, the last thing you want to do is the mental math of converting the price tag to your home currency.  How much do you divide this by?  How much do you multiply?  Do I add a little on top or subtract a little?

Many years ago, there we discovered a nifty little tool called the Oanda Currency Cheat Sheet (also called fxCheatSheet) that was a low-tech printout of currency exchange numbers. While yes, you could totally pull out Google or a foreign exchange app, this remarkable simple currency conversion cheat sheet is something that I always keep in the wallet

How we first discovered them

A handy printable currency converter, what happened to the tool, building the new currency conversion cheat sheet, using the currency conversion cheat sheet, how to read the currency conversion cheat sheet, what is the interbank rate, why use a pocket-sized and printable currency cheat sheet over an app, frequently asked questions, travel resources for your next trip, the original oanda currency converter.

The very first version of the pocket-sized currency conversion cheat sheet came from a Canadian foreign exchange company called Oanda and is the inspiration for the latest version we have today.

For those that know about them, have used them, and wonder where they’ve gone, here’s a bit of background information and a little nostalgia as well.

Oanda fxCheatSheet

When we did our epic summer backpacking trip through Asia , I randomly stumbled upon their currency converter. Similar to Xe.com , they offered live-updated exchange rates for currencies around the world.

It worked well and what really set Oanda apart from Xe was the fact that they had the ability to put in an interbank rate and also something called a “Traveler’s Cheatsheet”.

Over the years, Oanda has evolved their cheatsheet. It started off being called the Oanda fxCheatSheet, then became Traveler’s Cheatsheet, and finally it was integrated into the currency converter tool.

In the past few years, you could tell that there wasn’t as much of an emphasis on the Oanda cheat sheet.

What started off as a brilliant printable currency converter simply disappeared in the wind. As priorities changed with Oanda and their need to update the user interface forced the platform to evolve, they simply removed it completely at the end of 2021.

We’ve reached out to Oanda a couple of times to find out if there are any plans to bring it back but we never heard back.

It’s safe to say that it’s now gone forever.

That is….until we had a brilliant idea from one of our readers!

New Currency Conversion Cheat Sheet Tool For Travellers

currency conversion cheat sheet tool for travelers

Quick cheat sheets on currency exchange are a must-have while travelling from our years of experience and we still say that now despite the ease of access to apps and cellular data.

Taking the Oanda cheat sheet as inspiration, reader, Karen Golec decided to build her own tool in Excel to do the exact same thing.

She kindly reached out to us and all we did was jazz it up a bit and make it easier to use within Google Sheets.

The printable currency converter works very similarly to how it did before except a few things:

  • You will need to grab the actual foreign exchange rates from a tool like Xe or Oanda. You will enter these into the tool.
  • When printing the sheet, you’ll have to use Google’s print options to get it to look the way you want. Our recommendation is to switch it to vertical orientation and scale it to 50%-60%.
  • A new row was added to account for currencies that are higher in denomination such as the Japanese Yen and the Indian Rupee. The cheat sheet now goes up to 50,000.
  • A 2.5% interbank rate was added for Canadian credit cards.

going awesome places currency conversion cheat sheet example

There are a lot of numbers on the cheat sheet. How exactly should a traveller be using this printable currency converter?

The example above is for someone that wants to converts Canadian Dollars to Euros.

When you’re in a European Union country such as the Netherlands, you’ll look at the right hand side of the chart. Let’s say you want to buy something that’s 500 EUR using a credit card and want to figure out how much it’ll be on your statement, you’ll see that it’s $706.15 CAD.

How about the left hand side? This is the exact inverse of what you see on the right side with the interbank rate factored in. Normally, you won’t use this side of the cheat sheet much but if you’re in a bind and want to see how much the home currency in your pocket (CAD) can be worth if converted to EUR, this is a general guide.

That said, the rate wouldn’t be the most accurate since the above example has the interbank rate set to 3% which is the average for most credit card foreign transaction fees. If you end up changing money at a kiosk, this will be much higher (5%).

The interbank rate is a term that comes from Oanda’s tool that essentially represents the additional cost that financial institutions (banks, credit cards, and currency exchange kiosks) will charge on top of the real exchange rate. This is essentially a transaction fee as a way of making money.

This is a general rule of thumb:

  • ATMs charge a 2% fee
  • Credit cards on average charge 3% (in Canada the foreign transaction fee is 2.5%)
  • Exchange kiosks charge 5% or higher

For the tool, you pick the rate you want to use depending on whether you think you’ll be using your credit card the most, cash exchanged at a kiosk, or withdrawing from an ATM.

This is the elephant in the room I’m sure. Why go through all the trouble of using this tool, entering the numbers, printing it, and laminating it as well?

To a large extent, this is a preference for travellers that like to have something in their hands. You’re willing to sacrifice live-market numbers for a quick-look chart that can give you a good idea of how much something costs.

For us, a big reason why we continue to use the currency conversion cheat sheet is because we can apply an interbank rate so you get a bit more of an accurate picture of how much something is really going to cost you.

Lastly, by using a printout like this, you can also avoid pulling out your phone in a busy market if safety is concern.

The Oanda currency converter cheat sheet no longer exists and can’t be found on the website anymore.

The currency conversion cheat sheet tool is for members only. There is a sign up form in the article that will provide you access.

If you’re in the process of planning your trip and putting together your itinerary, these are genuinely the best resources that the Going Awesome Places team stands by 100% .

Credit cards: Don’t get burned by hidden fees on top of terrible exchange rates. When we travel now, we use the Wise Card . Simply load it with the currency you need before you go and use it as a regular VISA or their digital wallet card. Use their free app to track how much you have and top up when you need to.

Flights: Of all the booking search engines, Skyscanner is the most helpful and easy to use thanks to their Everywhere feature . Kayak is also another that’s we will often check as well.

Car Rental: If you’re looking to save money, these car rental coupon codes will be a true game-changer. Otherwise, DiscoverCars and RentalCars are great places to start.

park sleep fly airport parking discount code

Airport Parking: You’ll need a spot to leave your car at the airport so why not book a spot at a discount. Use code AWESOME7 to get at least $5 off at Airport Parking Reservations or Park Sleep Fly packages.

Data: We’ve been a huge fan of wifi hotspot devices like PokeFi because their rates are so good and you can use it globally but recently, we’ve really loved using eSIMs. The best one is Airalo . Save money by getting region-specific eSIMs and use referral code WILLIA9500 to get $3 USD credit on your first purchase. Ubigi is another one that we’ve had success with where they uniquely offer 5G coverage. Use code AWESOME10 to save 10% on your first order.

Hotels: Our go-to is Booking.com because they have the best inventory of properties including hotels and B&Bs plus they have their Genius tier discounts . The exception is Asia where Agoda always has the best prices. TripAdvisor is also useful for reviews and bookings.

Vacation Rentals: Your first instinct will be to check Airbnb but we always recommend checking VRBO as well if you’re looking for a vacation rental.

Tours: When planning our trips, we always check both Viator and GetYourGuide to at least see what’s out there in the destination that we’re going to. They often have different offerings and prices so check both.

Travel Insurance: Learn how to buy the best travel insurance for you. This isn’t something you want to travel without.

  • Insured Nomads – Popular insurance provider for frequent travelers and comes with great coverage and special perks.
  • RATESDOTCA – Search engine Canadians looking for the cheapest insurance including multi-trip annual policies.
  • SafetyWing – A perfect fit for long-term nomads.
  • Medjet – Global air medical transportation.
  • InsureMyTrip – Best for seniors, families, and those with pre-existing conditions.

We’re Carolyn and Josue, and we are the creators of Travel Cheat Sheet. We love to travel, but planning can be overwhelming, especially creating a daily itinerary. We find that there isn’t really a great guidebook or website that gives a trustworthy, easy itinerary to follow. So, we have to research every attraction, map it geographically, and plan it out ourselves. Needless to say, it takes forever!

Eventually, after we had done this so many times without finding a reliable shortcut, we decided we needed to address this problem. Planning a trip should be easy and fun, not a chore! So, we created Travel Cheat Sheet to share all the work we do, so that planning your trip will be a breeze. We only create content on places we’ve visited, and we never get paid to travel. We create the itinerary first, travel to the destination, make changes based on our experience, then post it online for everyone to benefit. If you have any suggestions, please let us know by using the contact us form. We are always adding content and trying to make the site better.

Have fun on your trip!

Travel Itinerary Template: Keep Your Trip Organized With a “Cheat Sheet”

For those of you who know me, it may come as no surprise that I’m a bit of a “type-A” personality.  I love being organized. This is especially true when it comes to being both planning trips , as well as when I’m on a trip.  It’s not that I want to run us ragged with some type of strict itinerary of scheduled activities, but because I want us to be able to kick back and actually enjoy the vacation.  And as a result of my many years of travel and trip planning, I’ve come up with some pretty simple ways to stay organized while on the road.   One way I do this is by creating a special travel itinerary template, which I also refer to as my “cheat sheet” for the trip.

My “Cheat Sheet” is an Extention of My Vacation Planning Itinerary Template

One of the very first things that I do when I’m planning a vacation is to research like crazy and gather information to come up with an awesome finalized trip itinerary. For this research and comparison, I actually use my Vacation Planning Template .  You can download this FREE travel itinerary planning template by clicking on the link. 

vacation planning travel itinerary template excel, google sheets itinerary template

This Vacation Planning Template is actually an Excel spreadsheet (or Google Sheets if you want to convert to that).  The spreadsheet has pre-built worksheets for me to gather ideas for my trip and pre-formatted fields.  I can jot down notes, copy and paste different activity ideas, hotel ideas, etc. and even make a note of how much they cost. This actually helps me to keep a running track of the budget too.

Finally, I look at the different trip ideas on my vacation planning spreadsheet that I came up with and will narrow it down to a final trip itinerary.

Ok Liz, Isn’t That a Bit Much?

Yeah, yeah, some of you might be thinking this sounds a little much. But hey, I told you I’m a Type A!  But honestly, it’s not that much work.  I’m already doing the research (as many of your are).  I’m searching around online, using Pinterest to get vacation ideas , etc. but this trip planning spreadsheet gives me one central and easy place to keep track of what I find online (because I always forget or lose links that I try to keep track of…). 

Plus — I LOVE to travel…but I also like to get the most for my money. 

I’m just a normal person and don’t have a money tree growing in my backyard. I save money for trips like most other people, and also want to be sure I maximize my budget during a trip as well. I also have to work, so I don’t have to maximize my time off work for travel .   So planning out my trips like this has really allowed me (and my family) to see and do SO much over the years! 

“Cheat Sheet” = a Condensed Travel Itinerary for the Road

After I have finalized the trip itinerary, it’s a detailed document. However, I realized that there was still a gap when I actually was on the trip and having quick access to simple information like confirmation numbers, subway lines to take, museum operating hours, hotel addresses, etc.  I needed something handier for when I was “on-the-road” and on the go.

And that’s why I ended up creating the travel “Cheat Sheet” itinerary template.

A “Cheat Sheet” is More Than Just a Travel Itinerary Template

Keeping track of all the details related to a vacation can be overwhelming.  Especially if it is a long or busy trip filled with multiple hotel bookings , transportation, and activities.  After you have made your travel arrangements, you are bound to have endless emails and confirmation numbers to sort through.

That combined with your research and notes about the things you want to see and do on your trip can make being organized even more complicated.   You need all this information nicely organized where you can access it easily when you need it.

This “Cheet Sheet” has helped myself and over tens of thousands of other travelers stay organized on the road!

Sometimes Nothing Beats a Good Ol’ Fashioned Piece of Paper!

Technology, especially mobile devices, have really helped travelers stay organized while on the road.  In fact, one of our favorite travel apps that we use is called TripIt.

The TripIt app helps us consolidate a lot of our travel information and confirmation numbers into one place.  This allows us to access it online or save it for viewing offline on our mobile devices. However, I have learned from my previous travel experience that using technology doesn’t always make things easier or quicker.

This is especially true when traveling overseas.  I don’t always use my cell phone internationally , and even if I do, it may not be connected to a data network.  Other times I may not want to draw attention to myself and my fancy technology while I’m walking down the street.   In these cases, I’ve discovered that it’s easier to go old school, with an actual piece of paper!

Paper Confirmations Are Too Long!

You know all those emails you get with your confirmation numbers for hotels, rental cars, etc. They are great and all, but who really wants to print all that and bring it with them?  Plus, those emails tend be long and include a lot of information that you may not need on the spot for a quick reference.  In fact, if you were to print all of that information out, you would probably be walking around with a small book in your pocket!

This defeats the whole point of having a quick reference document because you would be fumbling around with all those papers trying to find just the simple confirmation number!

That’s why my “Cheat Sheet’ Travel Itinerary Template is only 1 page!

travel itinerary template word document, google doc, cheat sheet for trip planning

Items to Include on Your Travel Itinerary “Cheat Sheet”

There are all kinds of things you may find useful to put on your travel “Cheat Sheet.”  But the most critical pieces of information to include are only those that you may need to reference quickly while you are on the go.   So don’t overdo it by putting too much information.  Keep it concise and easy to read.  Some of the items I include in my “cheat sheet” include:

  • Rough Itinerary – Don’t plan each minute!  But it’s helpful to plan out major activities on each day, especially days when you are traveling.
  • Hotel Information – confirmation numbers, addresses, contact information, prices & deposits paid (so you know what you owe on arrival), and possibly directions.
  • Transportation Information – flight numbers, train / bus schedules, how to use local transportation and buy tickets, etc.
  • Attractions – if there are certain sights that you absolutely want to see, make a note of their operating hours and days (because that might impact your itinerary), addresses, and prices (which will help with budgeting).
  • Activities – anything that you have pre-booked, along with the confirmation numbers.
  • Language Phrases – include a few simple phrases or notes about the language or even local customs.

Bring a Hard Copy of Your Travel Itinerary “Cheat Sheet” & Keep It Handy

My “cheat sheet” travel itinerary template is only one page.  It is grouped into 4 sections so that I can easily fold it into quarters and stuff it in my pocket.   Within the document itself, I group the information within each quarter section.  This way when it is folded, each side has a table of similar information.

For example, one side of the page might have my overall itinerary for each day, while another side contains all my hotel information.  I also color code the header of each page for each section.   This makes it easy for me to find the page I need for whatever it is that I’m looking for.

Be sure to print out a few copies, and it is good to send an electronic copy to your email.  

Lastly, this “cheat sheet” document is perfect for sharing with family and friends, in case they need to contact you while you are away!

It’s always tough to start out from scratch creating a planning document like this.  And sometimes, it may not seem worth it to put in all the effort.   But since I have already found a format that seems to work well, I wanted to share it here for all of you .

Your time is valuable.

So all I ask is that you buy me a small cup of coffee (.99 cents) for saving you the time and hassle of making it yourself.

Japanese Language Cheatsheet For Travelers Going to Japan but don't want to really learn Japanese? Use a cheatsheet.

August 17, 2009 • words written by Koichi • Art by Aya Francisco

Tofugu Japanese language cheatsheet preview

My boss is heading to Japan for a few days next week (lucky!), so I'm helping him with some really last minute language study before he heads out. The goal isn't to teach him any grammar, vocabulary, or anything like that, the goal is to make sure he's able to get by as simply as possible. That's why I made him a one-page cheatsheet, and then sharing it with all of you.

Tofugu Japanese language cheatsheet

You can download it by clicking on the image of it up above, but let me offer some explanation on the pdf as well.

  • This document was created for people with little to no Japanese language ability or experience. So, if you know a lot of Japanese then you should probably take a look at some other cheat sheet. It's good if you're traveling to Japan, don't know any Japanese, and want to have the bare minimum to get by.
  • I've included the "Japanese" version of most everything on there. This isn't for the user of the sheet, it's more for people who just can't pronounce anything so that way they can just point to different things and native Japanese speakers will be able to read it.
  • The "fill in the blank" section will probably require a dictionary (I'd recommend getting one on your phone if you can). I've included possible vocab words that you can put in the blanks right on the cheat sheet, but that won't cover every possible situation. With a dictionary you'll have a lot more flexibility.
  • The Japanese language pronunciation guide might be a little confusing, but I couldn't think of a better way to describe it. Most Japanese "letters" consist of both a consonant and a vowel (or just a vowel), and the sound of the vowel is pretty much always the same no matter what consonant is attached to it. Just do your best and point to things on the sheet all confused-kine if you have to. If you want to go more in depth on the pronunciation try learning some hiragana .
  • Of course, I'd recommend you actually go learn some Japanese rather than relying on this cheatsheet if you are planning on going to Japan. It'll make your life a lot easier, and a one-pager won't get you very far. It's one page, and covers only the bare minimum!

Hope you enjoy it and find it useful. Feel free to share it around, give it to a friend, etc etc. Once again, here's the download link !

Where is French spoken?

Top French Phrases for Travel - Arc de Triomphe at sunset

That’s a lot of Bonjour -ing!

French is the third most spoken language in Europe, after German and English and has official-language status in 29 countries, including: Belgium , Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Canada , Chad, the Ivory Coast, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Equatorial Guinea, France , Haiti, Luxembourg, Madagascar, Mali, Monaco, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal, Seychelles, Switzerland , Togo and Vanuatu. French is even one of six official languages of the United Nations.

It seems like nearly everyone wants to learn French, it’s the only language, alongside English, that is taught in every country in the world!

And the best way to learn it? Well, France operates the biggest international network of cultural institutes, which run French-language courses close to a million learners. My two favourite ways to learn French is by attending language classes – so I’m not only held accountable but also for the social aspect –  and going on language holiday too!

A Brief History of the French Language

Top French Phrases for Travel - Pont Alexandre III

The French and English languages have a pretty mixed-up history. Following the Norman Conquest of 1066, Norman French was adopted as the language of power on the British Isles.

For the next 400 years, French was the language of the nobility and of most official documents. King Henry V put a stop to that when he went to war with France, but because the two languages existed in parallel for so long, the English language is peppered with words of French origin, many of which can be traced back to French roots. This means that you actually already know a lot of French, even if you don’t think you do.

Now for the tricky stuff!

French Pronunciation Tips

Top French Phrases for Travel - Montparnasse Tower at sunset

There is a total of 26 letters in the French alphabet. Standard French contains 13 oral vowels and up to 4 nasal vowels, but there are 5 additional accented letters that can be applied to change the sound of a letter.

Here are some helpful pronunciation tips:

Using Liaisons

One of the fundamental rules of pronouncing French (and many other Latin-based languages) is that everything has to flow. That’s one of the reasons why French sounds so beautiful.

If you’re speaking French correctly, everything should sound like a continuous melody.

That’s where liaisons come in.

Liaisons are a phonetic link between two words that may sound awkward if left unconnected.

Let’s take a look at some examples where they are used  when speaking:

  • After pronouns e.g. vous avez sounds like vooz-ah-vey not  voo ah-vey
  • Numbers and nouns e.g. deux amis sounds like derz-ah-mee not der ah-me
  • One syllable prepositions e.g chez eux sounds like shez-uur not sheh uur

And liaisons that are forbidden when speaking:

  • When using full names e.g.
  • After et (and)

Liaisons may seem complicated at first, but they will become easier the more you listen to spoken French. After a while, you’ll automatically be able to notice where a liaison is needed (and where it isn’t) and how to make it sound natural when speaking.

What Not to Pronounce in French

Much like English, the French language isn’t written phonetically. The same sound can be represented by several different combinations of letters, and there are many cases of silent French letters. Two of the most well known are the silent “e” and the silent “h.”

The Silent “e”

The letter “e” is often silent in French, especially at the end of a word. Here are some examples:

Rue (road/street) is pronounced  roo not roo-ee and inacceptable (unacceptable) is pronounced an-ah-sep-tah-bil not an-ah-sep-tah-ble

Of course, there are exceptions when it comes to masculine and feminine adjectives and nouns.

In the case of feminine adjectives and nouns, this typically means that the final consonant of the masculine form will now be pronounced. So, the masculine ouvert , meaning open in the masculine form and pronounced oo-ver , will become ouverte  in the feminine form and pronounced oo-vert . The ‘ e ’ makes the final letter sounded.

The Final Consonant

As you’ve probably already noticed, there are a tonne of French letters that simply aren’t pronounced at the end of words. Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it!

In French, silent letters, or lettres muettes , have rules and exceptions just like many other linguistic concepts.

In general, the final consonants of a word are usually silent in French except in some cases of the letters c, f, l or r .

Just remember this simple rule, the consonants in the word ‘ careful ’ are always pronounced.

For example,

Avec (with) is pronounced  ah-ve k

Cinq (five) is pronounced saan k

Hiver (winter) is pronounced ee-ve r

The general rule regarding French word endings is that when in doubt, you probably don’t pronounce it. But, French is full of exceptions!

The Infamous “r”

For many English speakers, the French “r” can be a source of frustration. To pronounce it, you’ll need to use your throat and imagine you’re trying to gargle. The French “r” is pronounced in the same place as the English “k”, but with your throat closed.

The Silent “h”

As you’ve probably noticed from every French speaker’s failed attempt to say the word “hamburger” in English, the “h” in French is a silent letter no matter where it’s located in a word.

The only exception to this is when the preceding letter is “c,” in which case the “ch” combination makes a “sh” sound or “k” sound.

Here are a few examples of the silent “h”:

Le haricot vert (French bean) is pronounced leh ah-ree-coh ver

Huit (eight) is pronounced weet

Hiver (winter) is pronounced ee-ver

Top French Phrases for Travel - Cruise down the Seine River

Admittedly there are a few finicky grammar rules to learn, but generally speaking, English grammar corresponds relatively closely to French grammar.

Consider words in English that end with – ible  and -able , these are the same in French, only the pronunciation changes. So, the French word ‘possible’ sounds like poss-ee-bleh and ‘comfortable’ becomes kom-for-tah-bleh .

Then we have English words ending in -ent and -ant which also come from French and have the same spelling and the same meaning. So, the word, différent sounds like diff-er-ohnt  and important  sounds like ahm-poor-tahnt . The ‘t’ at the end is just slightly sounded.

Had enough? Ok, one more! Words in English ending in -ary l ike contrary become -aire in French. So, ‘contrary’ becomes contraire  and sounds like kon-trair .

There are so many rules like this, so you can see just how easy learning French can be.

**There are a few places that use unique words for the numbers 70 ( septante ) and 90 ( nonante ), such as Belgium and Switzerland. With the numbers 80 to 89, combine the number 4, the number 20, and the ones.

For example, in French 80 is four 20s, 81 is four 20s plus 1, and so forth. (Unlike most French-speaking countries, Switzerland actually has a word for the number 80. It’s huitante .)

History of the Spanish Language

The history of the Spanish language is shaped by centuries of cultural, political, and linguistic influences. Its roots can be traced back to the Roman Empire, when Latin was introduced to the Iberian Peninsula around the 3rd century BCE. Over time, Latin evolved into various dialects, blending with local languages spoken by native Iberian populations. However, it was during the medieval period, particularly after the Moorish conquest of Spain, that the foundations of modern Spanish began to take shape. 

The influence of Arabic and other languages spoken by the Moors infused the evolving Romance dialects with new vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. The gradual reconquest of Spain by Christian kingdoms led to the unification of the language, and by the 13th century, a standardized version of Spanish, known as Castilian, emerged as the dominant dialect. With the colonization of the Americas by the Spanish, the language spread across the globe, becoming one of the world’s most widely spoken languages.

Spanish Pronunciation Tips

Spanish pronunciation can be a delightful challenge for language learners, but with a few key tips, mastering the sounds becomes more attainable:

  • One important aspect is understanding that Spanish has a consistent sound-to-letter correspondence, meaning letters are usually pronounced the same way regardless of their position in a word. It is also crucial to pay attention to vowel sounds, as they are clear and distinct in Spanish. Mastering the five vowel sounds, namely “a,” “e,” “i,” “o,” and “u,” will greatly enhance pronunciation accuracy. 
  • Another tip is to focus on correctly pronouncing the rolled “r” sound, which is a unique feature of Spanish. Practicing tongue trills or tapping the tongue against the roof of the mouth can help achieve this sound. 
  • Additionally, being aware of syllable stress is crucial since Spanish is a syllable-timed language. Recognizing which syllables are stressed can improve both comprehension and fluency. 
  • Finally, listening to native Spanish speakers and immersing oneself in Spanish language media can greatly aid in developing an authentic and natural pronunciation.

Regional Spanish Differences

From Latin America to Spain, Spanish does remain intelligible, but there are some particularities that may be useful to know: 

Spain Spanish

One of the most prominent differences lies in the pronunciation and accent. In Spain, the Spanish accent tends to be more sibilant and has a softer, lisping quality, particularly in regions like Andalusia. Latin American Spanish, on the other hand, often features a clearer pronunciation of consonants and is generally considered to have a more melodious cadence.

Vocabulary is another area where variations can be observed. While the core vocabulary remains largely the same, there are differences in terms of certain words and expressions used in Spain versus Latin America. For instance, words related to everyday objects, food, and slang can vary between the two regions. Moreover, grammatical variations exist as well. In particular, the “plural you” used in Spain is  vosotros , instead of  usted  like it is in most of Latin America. 

Rioplatense Spanish

Also known as River Plate Spanish, this term refers to the distinct variety of Spanish spoken in the areas surrounding the Río de la Plata region, which includes Argentina and Uruguay. This variant of Spanish exhibits several particularities that set it apart from other Spanish dialects. One notable feature is the pronunciation, characterized by a unique intonation and rhythm.

Rioplatense Spanish has a strong Italian influence, reflecting the significant Italian immigration to the region in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As a result, speakers often pronounce “ll” and “y” as a “zh” sound, known as “yeísmo” or “sh” sound, which is distinct from the “y” sound in standard Spanish.

Additionally, the Rioplatense dialect includes a variety of local idioms, slang, and vocabulary that differ from other Spanish-speaking regions. Words borrowed from Italian, known as “lunfardo,” are prevalent in the dialect and contribute to its distinctive flavor. 

Cuban Spanish

Also known as “Cubano” or “Cubanismo,” this dialect possesses a distinct set of particularities that make it stand out within the Spanish-speaking world. One notable feature of Cuban Spanish is its pronunciation. The “s” sound at the end of words and syllables is often softened or omitted, a phenomenon known as “seseo.”

Additionally, the “r” sound is often rolled or trilled more prominently, giving Cuban Spanish a melodic and vibrant quality. Another characteristic of Cuban Spanish is the frequent use of augmentatives and diminutives to convey emphasis or affection. These suffixes, such as “-ito” and “-ote,” are commonly added to nouns and adjectives.

Cuban Spanish also showcases a rich vocabulary influenced by Afro-Cuban, Caribbean, and African linguistic elements, along with borrowings from English and French. Furthermore, the dialect features distinctive idiomatic expressions, humor, and wordplay that reflect the unique cultural identity and wit of the Cuban people. 

Mexican Spanish

This variety of Spanish is what is most often taught in the US, and is also known as “español mexicano” or “mexicanismo”. One notable feature of Mexican Spanish is its pronunciation. It is characterized by a softening or elision of certain consonants at the end of words, such as the “s” sound, a phenomenon known as “seseo” (like Cuba).

Another distinctive aspect is the pronunciation of the “x” sound, which is often pronounced as an “h” sound. Mexican Spanish also includes a vast array of unique vocabulary, idiomatic expressions, and regional slang, known as “mexicanismos.” These linguistic elements are deeply rooted in the country’s history, indigenous cultures, and influences from Nahuatl, the Aztec language, as well as other indigenous languages.

Moreover, Mexican Spanish has borrowed extensively from English, particularly in the realm of technology and popular culture.

Ha! I like that idea Ron 🙂

Thanks for a great article with some key phrases! There is enough here to help you get by when on holiday. I always try my best to communicate with the natives it only seems polite to do so as you are a guest in their country!

My thoughts exactly, Andy!

This is so much great information.

I took Spanish in high school.. a couple years ago at least and I still do remember some phrases.

A really helpful phrase I used frequently when I was in Mexico last November was – Hablas ingles? It saved me and my husband’s bums when we almost got stuck in a different place because our tour bus left without us.

Thanks! Kahlua

Yes, that phrase is one of the best ones to know – can certainly help get you out of a bind, Kahlua!

I’m definitely pinning this! Spain will be a trip we take at some point and this is so handy. My husband studied abroad in Spain in college. ☺️

Glad you found this useful Laura!

Oh this is interesting! I wish I had the money to go abroad but I really love your posts!

Thanks, Audrey. Hope you can travel soon!

This is such a useful little post! Wish I read it about 6 weeks ago before I went on holiday lol

Haha – I understand that! You can always just use it for your next trip though 🙂
