There Was In Spanish

We've got different accents. I'm Mexican and I've found a little bit difficult to understand Argentinian Spanish for instance. Someone here told you that it is like the difference between American and British English. I dare to say that it is true. As soon as we get involved in trying to find and answer we can get into trouble. We've got different cultures and ideologies. We've got words that have different meanings and what they have in vocabulary, we don't. It is very difficult to get a good answer.

It depends on the context..

i.e. "There was only one way out." ..

Would be: Sólo hay una manera de salir.
