Chilean Spanish has its own characteristics. You will notice that in general Chilean’s speak fast and not real clearly. You will get use to it, so don’t worry. They commonly do not pronounce the “s” on ends of words. Chilean Spanish has some words for things that are different than Standard Spanish. You may hear the second person singular pronounced as “ai” rather than “as”. For example, “Como estai?” rather than “Como estas?” It may sound strange at first, but its all part of the beauty of the language.
