Jim is experiencing the differences in dialect (regional variations in vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation) and accent (differences in pronunciation and intonation patterns). While slang (informal vocabulary and expressions) may also vary, it is not the main focus of his observation. Language is a broader term that encompasses dialect and accent, but it is not specific enough to describe the two elements that Jim is noticing.
