11. Informal vs. Formal Language  In spanish, and in most latin based languages, there exists both an informal and formal method of speech.  Informal speech is used when talking with your friends, people you are close with, and relatives of the same age group.  Formal speech is used when addressing someone older than you, someone you are unfamiliar with, or to simply express respect and be polite.

12. T ú vs. Usted The most common example of formal vs. informal speech is… “Usted”  formal speech when talking to someone older or in a position of respect/authority “¿Tiene usted hambre?” → Are you hungry? “Tú”  informal speech, when talking to a younger person, friend, etc. “¿Tú quieres ir a la playa?” → Do you want to go to the beach? It is difficult to translate into English because English simply uses “you” for both formal and informal speech. It might help comparing formal speech in Spanish (Usted) as referring to an individual as “Sir”, or “Mrs./Ms.”, in English.
