C. Regional variations
Some languages have slight regional variations, like for example english or spanish, but others are spoken in very different ways depending on the area, like arabic or chinese (both are written in more or less the same way everywhere, though), The issue for the learner is to be sure to be learning the most standard and widespread version of the language, unless he has some special reason. I remember that when I wanted to spend 15 days in a spanish speaking country for the language, I hesitated between Cuba and Mexico. Thank the lord I chose Mexico, because otherwise I would have come back eating the s's like they do in the Carribean. Ha'ta la vi'ta!
