Have you ever traveled to a country, and suddenly noticed that the Spanish you learned doesn’t match with the one in the place you’re in? No worries it can be confusing at first but we as natives get confused as well.
Here are some examples of words that may change depending on the place you are. It doesn’t mean you have to learn them all, wait don’t panic 
. As you may know, it is always useful to know that some words may change and have different meanings 
Let’s start with food 
Fresa (strawberry): It is used in most of Latinoamerica but in Argentina this fruit is called frutilla and in México can be a fruit and someone arrogant and smug.
This one is tricky but not impossible: 
Bolígrafo (pen): In Argentina and Paraguay people usually use the word Birome, in Colombia and Ecuador you can hear Esfero more often and in México Pluma is the word.
How do we say car in Spanish? Well let’s see, shall we? 
In Spain, you would use Automóvil or Auto but in lots of countries like Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Colombia and more carro is the word we use. In Argentina, they also used coche, but for example in Chile “coche” can be a baby carriage and in Guatemala and some parts of Perú “coche” it can be a pig.
In any case, no worries! 
If there is any misunderstanding one of the people involved will ask, and you won’t feel like you have been learning the wrong word. If you want to know more about this type of words here is a video that explains with humor and examples all the variety you may find in the Spanish language:

What about you? Is there any experience you could share with us about your trips? 
Eso es muy común, incluso me pasa a mí cuando hablo con mi amiga mexicana. Lo importante es aclarar que significa para cada uno y se aclara el malentendido
