The language is an important part of the culture, the identity of the culture, the people. The language or idioms are very important for the communication. The Spanish is a fascinating language from the Latin language. The English from Northwest Europe is the third most spoken language in the world, after Chinese and Spanish. In the present, English is very important to relate other people of other cultures either visiting or working.
The language has many sounds and the people give different meanings depending on the country to which it belongs, for example in our country “papaya” is a fruit, but in Cuba and Nicaragua the meaning is: female sexual organ, in Colombia: give opportunity for someone (“darle papaya a alguien”). In Mexico the word “pajilla” is slang, have a sexual meaning: is the male sexual organ. The slang is a different and peculiar form of communication used by teenagers or by people, but informally and in our country we use it very often, it is very “tico” to do it. And there is an example created by a Costa Rican boy, the example is in Spanish, but it is a good example of our slang.(LINK).
The language regardless of the idiom or accent is part of the identity of each anywhere in the world.
