| Yeah, wouldn't most of the differences between Spain- and Latin American-Spanish be spoken? Anyways, I'm familiar with a little bit of Spain-Spanish and a bit more with Latin/South-American Spanish, if that helps at all. |

Well no... not all spoken. As an example, in American 'you' (plural) is ustedes but in Castilian it's vosotros and that's an entire new conjugations of verbs for that. !_! |

That's true, I didn't think of that. My teacher studied in Barcelona (and she has the Castilian "th" accent!), so I learned vosotros right at the beginning.
I can't wait until we can start on this project, it seems really fun!  |
