Might I suggest that if you are not exposed to Spanish already in your daily life, put a Spanish language radio on in your car and or have a Spanish tv station on around the house while you are doing other things so that you get used to hearing it. You will start to pick things up contextually. I have run into immigrants from other non Spanish countries who learned Spanish because that's all that was on tv in detention.

Most Spanish will deny any relation to Mexicans lol They do seem to dislike each other.

There was an option for Castillion, but I knew the difference and chose not to learn that

It has to do with the conquistidores. Its mostly from the more indian type mexican or those who have deep Mexican roots. Not the curly haired ginger rich kids in Mexico city that are pumped full of European blood. Whom the real Mexicans hate too btw. So they pretty much hate Spaniards. But they especially hate the accent.

The Spaniards doesnt exactly care much for the Mexicans so I guess the feeling is mutual :)
One of my college friends was from Catalonia, he considered himself superior to the Spanish and the Mexicans was nothing but trash.

I bought Rosetta Stone.
It works but it takes a lot of time.
You have to invest your time into learning another language via a computer.
Unfortunately I have been very lazy and not put much into it.
I live in Texas so I have the opportunity to speak "Mexican" everyday so I really dont have much of an excuse not learning the language.
I think I paid $230 for the Rosetta Stone. I think its worth it if you use it.

knowing Spanish is a great way of meeting Latin chicks. Of course, it's always helpful to pretend that you're not very good at it. They think it's cute and then want to try and help you!

Always good to have some strategery! LOL

Ohhhh . . . you conniving bastard, you. Guess this allows you to be bi-lingual then?
