Q&A: Can Spanish speakers from different countries understand each other?

Q: My organization is looking for a bilingual customer service representative to help our Spanish speaking customers worldwide.  Can a person who speaks Spanish communicate with all other Spanish speaking people, regardless of their country of origin?  Thanks. Yours truly, Susan

A: This is a great question because I’ve heard it many times, and the answer is YES.  While both people will be able to communicate with each other, there may be certain words that are spoken differently in their respected countries.  If this occurs, they will be able to discuss the differences to help ensure that they understand one another clearly.  It’s great that your company is expanding their bilingual staff.  You may be interested in reading more about how bilingual employees are an advantage to your business.
