Va? Or, I speak Spanish with a Canadian Accent

When speaking Spanish, there are a lot of small dialect differences.

One thing that my friends Karen and Anabell taught me, was that "va" is an abbreviation for "verdad."

(Verdad means "correct."  In a sentence you could say "Usted hablas inglés, verdad?" and it would mean "You speak English, right?")

So "Usted hablas inglés, va?" would mean pretty much the same thing--va?

Mmm, sort of.

Only Guatemalans use "va."  Kind of similar to the way only Canadians use "eh/ay?"

So basically I have a Canadian accent in Spanish.

My Spanish is improving, eh?
