Do they think latin american spanish is good to hear?

I've been learning Spanish on my own for a while now and I'm looking to find movies/cartoons/songs etc. in Spanish to better understand the way the language is spoken in everyday life. However, I seem to find mostly Latin-American material which due to the minor differences in grammar and pronunciation is unsuitable for me.

Any suggestions on where to find non-LA Spanish material?
I am familiar with the pronunciation of simple words and phrases, I am more interested in finding slightly complex material like the dialogues that can be found in movies/cartoons. I am most definitely *not* interested in purchasing any commercial "teach yourself" packages. A link to a list of Spanish (again spain-spanish, not latin-american-spanish) movies would suffice to get me started.

Alright, I'm stuck.
I really want to learn Spanish, and yes I know there are differences and such with accents and verbs but does anybody have a personal story with the languages and differences? I plan to visit Spain and other spanish speaking countries like Argentina, Brazil, etc, but have friends who speak Latin American Spanish. From your experiences, which do you think would be better for someone who wants to visit Spain and other spanish speaking countries but lives around Latin American speakers?

(I have a friend who said they'd teach me the differences in Latin American spanish if I choose the Spain version. Would that be a good choice in your opinion?)

Hello i am looking to brush up on my Spanish, i know probably about as much as someone whos had a year or so of Spanish in school. Except my Spanish knowledge is in Latin American Spanish. Ive shown some latino friends some of the books that my Nephews brought home from school and they were almost shaking their heads at this material because the Spanish that the Spanish speak is different from that of Latin american countries, i suppose the same way that English in England is different then English here in the States. So this peeked my interest in brushing up on my own Spanish and helping my nephews learn some Spanish that would have real use in America. Ive looked at Rosetta stone from the library and it seems good but it teaches just words mostly from what i saw (egg, horse, boat etc). I looked at something called Fluenz i think and that taught more useful phrases and how to put sentences together. But those are 0+ and i dont think you could even resell them once you get a grasp of what they offer. But is there anything else? Ive seen a couple of books on the subject but most look like they teach what i call Spanish Spanish, and not Latin American Spanish. Are there any good programs, CDs, or Books that would help someone learn Latin American Spanish? Or at least get a good foundation? Your help is appreciated, thanks!
From every latin american student ive ever spoken to in school when i was there, there is spanish spanish and then there is Spanish for the other countries in Latin America. Which has there own terms, accents, indigenous differences and more. So the difference in languages should be obvious considering the history the Latin American people have had with Spain. Or did you not know that Dart?

Which language is easier to learn? Latin American spanish or Farsi (Persian)? Also are the two languages distinguished and unique enough to learn at the same time/

What are the main differences between European Spanish and Latin American Spanish?
Are the two similar enough to learn European and still be understood in Latin America?

I looooove Spanish! It's such a beautiful language!! I was just wondering what your favorite Latin American Spanish accent was?? I asked this in another category, but I didn't get much answers so I'm asking again
Oh, thanks for asking Unfortunately I'm not that good enough to really tell the difference between each other that much, or at least not enough to tell what is attractive or not. But the ppl I've asked have said that they liked; the Argentinian accent, Costa Rica, Colombian, and Puerto Rican. I know that Argentinians have a slightly unique set of vocabs and pronounce their ll/y like zh, and PRs tend to drop the "S", and "RR" is sound like a Spanish "J"

I loooove Spanish! It's such a beautiful language! But I just curious which Latin American Spanish accent ppl thought was more attractive. Wdyt?? What's your fav?
No doubt, I agree that latinos r hot but I'm asking what your fav accents r!!! lol

im trying to buy rosetta stone to learn spanish but they all say latin american/spanish. are they the same language?

Hey everyone.

I'm trying to get into learning Spanish and have come to a bit of a crossroads. For many products for language learning, there's two forms of Spanish. Latin American and Spain. What exactly are the differences? Like Rosetta Stone for instance. I can get Latin American, or Spain.

Is the difference just with pronunciation? If I were to learn Latin American Spanish, would I be able to go speak and read in Spain without any problems? I'm more interested in Spain, but I'm really curious as to what the differences are and if the differences are big enough to cause problems?

Thanks in advance!
OK, so 'you' is different. Is that all?

Is there a huge difference between Latin American Spanish and Spain Spanish? I'm trying to learn to speak Spanish and my fiance picked up Spain Spanish. Are there huge difference between the two? Thanks.

I was wondering what are the main differences between all the Spanish accents.

When in comes to verb conjugations in Latin-American Spanish, I'm not sure if I have to learn the "vosotros" forms because I read that it is mainly used in Spain. Do I still have to learn the vosotros forms for verb conjugations?

what are the difference between latin american spanish and spain spanish?

I've spent several weeks learning Spanish with Pimsleur because I feel that it's the best Spanish learning software on the market. However, I'm beginning to think I may have wasted my time because it's geared around Latin American Spanish rather than Castilian.
I'm not paranoid, I just don't want to sound like a fool.
Thanks

In Europe, Spanish is absolutely in a stronger position than Portuguese. In USA, the most popular foreign language is latin-american Spanish, especially Mexican style, because there're a lot of Mexico immigrants in USA. & In latin-america, people speak latin-american Spanish, it mainly includes Mexican, Argentine, Chilian style, & In Brazil, people speak Brazilian Portuguese, which sounds softer & more nasal than Spanish, & it shows some similarities to that of French. Brazil's been working to develop its economy and resolve societal problems, Brazil is the largest and most populous country in South America, the fifth largest country by geographical area, & its population comprises the majority of the world's Portuguese speakers. Brazil is the largest national economy in Latin America, the world's tenth largest economy at market exchange rates & the ninth largest in purchasing power parity. If you had to choose between Brazilian Portuguese & Spanish, which would you prefer to learn?

“If you love somebody, let them go. If they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were.”

Only fluent speakers translate please (residents of latin american countries preferably). Don't use babelfish or online translator crap.
How do you say these in Latin American Spanish:

Why are these things happening...

No word can describe what I am feeling...

I guess it was God's will...

Please don't make fun of me if this is a stupid question to everyone else, Geography was not a good subject of mine.

I know Mexican spanish, and European spanish, because mexico and some of the European countries speak spanish. The only other place that spanish is spoken in North America is New Mexico, but that's not a country and everyone there speaks English too right? not to mention it is right by Mexico so it shouldn't sound much different. Is Latin American Spanish spoken in South America?

I'm a Filipino college student taking up Spanish as a 3rd language (4th, if you consider the Visayan dialect dissimilar from "Filipino"). I've already studied English and am passably proficient at it.

The school offers two Spanish classes, one offering Castellano (Spain Spanish) and another offers Latin American Spanish.

I'd like to learn both, and I anticipate working a lot with Latin Americans, but I also might transfer to Marbella, Spain in the near future.

Which learning transition would be less problematic?

Learning Latin American Spanish and then taking up Castellano, or learning Castellano prior to studying Latin American Spanish?

I would like to know what people who speak Latin American Spanish think of people who know or are learning "Castilian" or "Spain" Spanish. I have been learning how to speak spanish for a few weeks now with Rosetta Stone software. I am learning so that I can travel to Spain. I would like to try some of my spanish at work with some of spanish speaking co-workers but I don't want to sound like an idiot speaking Castilion when they are from Mexico. I don't want to screw up and make my "s"s sound like a "th" and sound like I have a lisp or something.
