    Study either Colombian or Mexican, if didn't know it, all the people learn American English, and Brazilian Portuguese, the fact that a language had been born there doesn't make it automatically perfect. Try to understand a Spaniard, then a Mexican or a Colombian, and then you'll see, wich accent is hotter, and mosre understandable. Just try it, Spanish from is Spain is harsh, and fast. Mexican is sweeter, very cheezy, Colombian is soft, melodic, and well pronounced.

    Since you mentioned that you just talk English larger i might count on that anything language you be trained subsequent could have an American accessory however I doubt that it might be that dangerous given that you understand accents to start with. I additionally talk each languages however best found out Spanish approximately 3 years in the past. I talk it fluently now and am opening to be trained a few others, peculiarly Portuguese (convenient ample with Spanish) Italian (additionally as an alternative useful being a romance language) and Japanese (freaking complex language) and every body tells me that I talk with a Spanish accessory. I consider that that is on the grounds that I found out the phonology for Spanish and now wish to use what I found out to the whole thing else. I might say despite the fact that, that should you wish to talk with out an accessory simply be trained tips on how to learn some of the phonology pages on Wikipedia and you'll don't have any crisis speakme it with none accessory in any respect. It took me all of 2 years to be trained the whole thing that I recognize now, however I can effectively learn and fully grasp any phonological description of every other language. Best of good fortune to you for your 3rd language, it's complex however very lucrative.

    The one from Spain! That's where Spanish came from. It's just like the English. The good English comes from England. Or Latin America Spanish (Mexican and Colombian are better).

    I think the Castillian (Spanish) because it is the original one.

    "mapache..." "all the people"? You are not well informed. When it comes to Europe, what you said is ridiculous. All of what you said is based only in your own opinion.

    These days you can learn how to speak Spanish over the internet. Check out this online course, it's voted as the best Spanish online course of all time: http://www.rocketlearner.com/spanish The course is very easy to follow, I was able to learn Spanish in just 3 months.

    I live in New York City, I wanted to go to a Spanish language teacher but that would have cost me over $800 per month. Good thing with this internet, $800 it's a lot of money for me.
