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?)

Well, just because Brazil is located in South America and is surrounded by spanish speaking countries it doesnt mean we speak spanish!
I get sooooo angry when someone comes to me and say: "Ohhh, you are Brazilian, you speak spanish right?"

I'm curious as to how effective learning Italian would be to tour Italy and also in addition to use as a language that could cope in Spanish speaking countries. And by the way I have no interest in learning spanish so don't suggest it! thanks

Let's face it: The U.S. has bullied, exploited and treated Latin America for the past 120 years. Think "Monroe Doctrine".

What if all the Spanish-speaking countries became, like, "The United States of South America (USSA)"?

I'm planning on taking a gap year after I graduate high school to immerse myself in the language in four Spanish speaking countries in Central/South America.
A lot of people have been telling me Peru and Colombia have the "clearest" Spanish, but I still need two more countries

Thanks!

I am taking Spanish 1 at my college and we are doing a spanish project on spanish speaking countries like Spain and Mexico and telling the class a few things on each country. I wanted to bring in food for the class, but I wasn't sure of what to bring in. What are some food or appetizers that are tasty and it won't be too messy for a class around 20 that is affordable too?

I'm trying to find some good resources online for a school project. I need pages of information of common myths of various spanish speaking countries. Creatures, like Xanas, are more than welcome as well. I'd prefer that, actually, but I do need a good page of information on the actual myths as well.

I feel that its really important that I learn to speak spanish.Statistics show that the number of people from Spanish speaking countries coming to the U.S. is rising.I can see it where I live.

I'm a Mexican but I think I would not like it if someone just assumed that I was from a country just because I speak spanish. Oh and I don't have anything against other spanish-speaking countries, I don't think we're better or worst.
