I have no idea, but some friends teach spanish for foreign people, so I can ask them if they know, if you're interested :o)

In Latin America there are different accents as well, dear Bodi. It's not the same if you're Mexican, Peruvian, Colombian, Uruguayan, etc. so there are more types of Spanih :oP

Pronunciation is different wherever you go. The biggest difference IMO is between Spanish from the Río de la Plata and all the others, because we don't use "tu" (second person singular pronoun) like everyone else, and the verb conjugations are different.

I think most people learn Spanish from Spain, or Mexico.
It's not usual to learn to speak Spanish like a rioplatense, unless you're living in Argentina or Uruguay (like Viggo Mortensen or my friend Svenja :oP).

It's true
As Juli perfectly said, the spanish spoken in Spain and Latin America is not the same. In Latin America there are different dialects according to the country, but the case of Argentina and Uruguay is particularly different from Mexico, Peru, Chile, and others.
Beyond the differences in pronunciation and the second person singular pronoun (tu / vos), also change the conjugation of verbs.
(Sorry for the linguistic speech! :S)

Agree with both of you, girls :o).
The Spanish spoken in Spain is very different from the spoken in Mexico, Peru, Chile, etc. And, of course, the one spoken in Argentina and Uruguay is also not the same as the previous mentioned. Yuriko is right, is all about dialects and I think none of them should be considered unworthy or less important...

Anyways I think it doesn't matter what Spanish people learn, the important thing here is that people are interested on doing it, which is fantastic :o). And if they become more interested about the language they could even learn the other dialects... It's not really hard, I think ;o).

Dear Southamerican friends, I already knew there is not just one way of speaking there... I'm not that ignorant :p I can tell when someone from Mexico is speaking, from Argentina, Chile, Colombia, etc. It's not that difficult ^^ I said "the language spoken in South America" because if you watch films with subtitles there are two varieties: Spanish from Spain and Latin Spanish. I guess that's like a neutral language shared (more or less) by the people in South America (if that makes sense). Words that might be common there but not here.

And Bara, for your friend, here she/he can listen to a music programme (good bands, haha). Just click on "programas", then on the day you want to listen to, and finally click on the play button ^^

Bara... what exactly needs your friend? I don't know if these webs will be useful, but here in Peru there's two important sources of information: www.elcomercio.com.pe and www.rpp.com.pe
