Now, I’ve been getting so many questions from users of my
Mini-Course that I just had to include another note for you.
Have you been wondering what the difference is between Latin
American Spanish and Castilian Spanish (Castellano)? You may have
heard people talk as if they were two different languages, and you
may be wondering whether you’re learning the right kind of Spanish
for your situation. In this newsletter, I’ll explain why the
distinction between the two can be confusing, give you some tips
about the type of Spanish best for you, and explain the kind of
Spanish you’ll find in Rocket Spanish.

Spanish isn’t a static, uniform language, anymore than English is.

New Zealand all speak English, they do so with distinctly
identifiable accents and some quite remarkable regional variations.
In fact, if you’re talking about cookies (biscuits), trucks
(lorries), or pants (trousers), you may wonder if American English
and British English aren’t completely different languages. The
same is true with Spanish.

Because of the number of regional variations, it may be a bit

Latin American (spoken in the Americas). There are a wide variety

and Chile to the Quechua-influenced Spanish of the Andean region.

widely accepted Spanish, that is promoted by the Royal Spanish Academy
