Answer Question
2 Kinds of Spanish?
Does anyone have a Tip as to which version of Spanish should be learned if you are going to do just one? Since I live in southern US, should I switch to the Latin American DVD's? If you watch movies, news, or TV programs, which version is mainly used?
My husband bought the 5 Spanish DVD/CDs for me for Christmas. The first DVD says it is Castilian Spanish. I had 2 years of Spanish in high school, and wanted to re-learn it again. My hubby bought them on Amazon.com. He said he did not know there were 2 kinds.
I now see there are 2 Spanish versions on here: Spanish from Spain and Spanish from Latin America. I have read other places that if you learn one you can understand the other, but I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to which might be better or recommended.
Thank you for your assistance in advance,
