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! :D
