    lol- you may not be a natural at this. are you writing cheat notes on your wrists? 

    relax, smile, be happy, be complimentary, be friendly. 

    I was going to say this lol. Don’t overthink it. 
    I agree with tassojuniors advice + just make sure you agree with the dancer what you want to do before doing it. 
    Pre dance tipping is up to you but you can also see what everyone around is doing to have an idea about “proper etiquette”

    He's a stripper, he's done porn, and he advertises as an escort on a free website. He's certainly not a private figure. 

    But we don’t talk about his porn here, right? And again, being a stripper or advertising on rm, doesn’t make him a public figure. 

  3. Yeah

    Why would you bring this thread up in conversation? Especially if the reviews were generally positive? I assume you had good intentions, but this seems tactless and unnecessary.

    Yeah, I don’t get it either and I doubt providers think of themselves as public figures.

    True, you will be understandable everywhere. Differences in Spanish aren't as strong as differences between Canadian French and Continental French, or, worse, high German and Swiss German, for example. However, if you learn Spanish in less "neutral-speaking" countries and travel elsewhere, it's probably a good idea to understand the differences. In particular, in Paraguay especially, and probably in Argentina and Uruguay, voseo is used extensively. However, in some countries, particularly in El Salvador and Chile, the use of voseo can be considered insulting and offensive. And until a speaker is understood to come from one of the Caribbean islands, when speaking in North or South American, people will first wonder if he's had a drink too many. 

    I dispute the idea of voseo being offensive. Chile got their own differences with Argentina and vos might have gotten in the crossfire. Most Spanish speakers know voseo is mostly a southern cone thing but it’s not offensive. Some Andean population in the north also use vos. 
    In general Spanish will be the same but cultural and social influences might give words different meanings, syntax is the same. 

  5. You will learn standard Spanish in the classroom of any Spanish speaking nation.  They might spend time talking about particular words or expressions that are unique to their country/region/city, but you will learn that more when you talk to locals outside of the class. 
    I don’t think learning Spanish in Mexico or Colombia will necessarily make you learn a more understandable version of the language.
