In school context, reflections on a multicultural setting are important in the development of the foreign language teaching / learning process, because they will cover the historical and social factors of a community and therefore their culture. Thus, this research presents some considerations about the work of a group of teachers of Spanish as a foreign language in order to find out if this group of teachers uses,  presents (or not) and discusses in their classes the voseo linguistic variant . In order to achieve these goals, the methodology of research was based on the ethnographic approach that deals with the relationship language / society, with a virtual and real perspective of systematizing linguistic studies about variants. This article also aims at providing important contributions to the teachers, since based on the awareness of language variants, the teacher, and especially their students, will learn more about tolerance from cultural differences.
