I want to learn Spanish mainly to talk to Mexican people.I was thinking of using Rosetta Stone (which brings me to another question - is Rosetta Stone reliable?) but they only offer Spanish (Spain) & Spanish (Latin America) (question #3 which is closer to Mexican Spanish Latin America, or Spain's spanish?).But the point is, would either of those be efficient for talking to Mexicans? And if so how much?

I would like to study Spanish language in Latin america , i need a good web site about that .

I am looking for a free online Speak Spanish learning program (latin america) that you "do not" have to pay for or do a free trial...I also don't want a program that is free at first and then you have to pay later. Do you know of a site/program? Thank you. =]

I'm going to Puerto Rico in august and I want to learn spanish, so I have decided to buy the rosetta stone spanish cd pack but they have two different packs. There is Spanish(Spain) and Spanish(Latin American) Which one should i get? Latin America right?

I mean we don't have to but it seems more and more importent for us to learn Spanish since they are coming from the south and pushing North. I'm kind of learning the language right now so. But I'm wondering why should we teach ourselves spanish. Why son't they just learn english if they want to come here so bad. If I was going to Latin America for what ever reason I'd just learn spanish for my own and their benifit. Immigration needs to be controlled before America is destroyed.
I agree Crystal, it's too bad political corectness keeps people from even voiceing their opinion
the reason why the number of spanish speaking people has grown is becuase over the last 2 decades they jumped the borders and all had 40 kids.
we should all listen to shelton he's a smart guy
I blame employers also for using jobs as bate for them to run over here. Everyone wants a worker for half price. These people need to either learn english or leave.

iam confused, which langugage to pick, chinese(mandarin) or spqnish.

how long it takes to learn spanish and chinese,

I don't read much Spanish. I'm trying to buy a gift subscription for my nephew with topical content and relevant vocabulary. I couldn't navigate the El Diario NY website well enough to find out if I could buy a weekly subscription; Newsweek has a Latin America version, but it's not available for delivery to US addresses. If I can manage to buy online with a credit card, that would be a plus - but any help at this point is appreciated.

I have a great desire to learn Spanish (Latin-America). I looked at Rosetta Stone, but do not like what I read on Amazon about it. I would like to learn while driving to/from work and have computer software for learning at home. Does anyone have any experience with a good program (I heard Rocket might be good, looking for confirmation or a better program), thanks!
