Is the Spanish language spoken in Spain different than the kind spoken in South American countries?

Yes, they are different.  Not only that, but many South American countries are a bit different from eachother too.  And they're all different from the Spanish spoken in Mexico,  here in Puerto Rico or in our neighbor, the Dominican Republic.  Some words are different, and the accents are certainly different.  For instance, the word "luz" (light) is pronounced "loos" here but in Spain it would be pronounced "looth."      \n\nThese are similar to the differences you would find in the English spoken in the United States, in England, and in Australia, etc.  They're all the same language, technically, but there are many regional differences such as words, meanings, accents, etc.  You'll find these changes even within the same countries too; people in California speak differently than those in Tennessee, for instance.  \n\nHope this helps answer your question.\n\nFR

cos speaking spanish requires this twist of tongue that only the natives can do it (or so it seems). it might help to converse frequently with real spanish people or live in a spanish populated area for a period of time.

no, there are several different language signs. different countries have different signs. hear in america most use ASL which is actually closer to french signs than english, but there are still many, many differences between each of them. sign language developed differently in each area, just like the languages we speak.

You're referring to the pronounciation of the letters "c" (before the vowels "e" and "i") and "z". Spanish-speaking Spaniards push the tip of their tongues against the back of the upper front teeth. The sound produced is similar to "th" in "Rosenthal". \n\nBut that is not the only difference in pronounciation with Spanish as spoken in other countries:\n\nThey also pronounce the "s" as a soft "ssssh". \n\nThe pronounciation of the letter "j" is also different. They pronounce it longer and stronger. "Mi parejjjja" \n\nThey also use compound verbs more frequently. A common example is the use of the ante-presente, instead of the pasado (past) of the indicative mood for describing recent actions in the past. For example: While in Mexico we say "Me caí"  ("I've fallen"), Spanish speakers in Spain say "Me he caído".\n\nAnother difference is the speed. Spaniards generally speak faster than people in Latin America.

Spaniards are kinda dark but way lighter than Latin Americans and better looking (Spanish girls have beautiful features).\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_people

It boils down to the whole white European vs. "Indian" thing. \n\nWhile South Americans, Central Americans, Mexicans and people from the Caribbean speak Spanish, they're not pureblooded white Europeans, in the eyes of some Spaniards (not all Spaniards feel this way, of course!) \n\nNorthern Italians are the same way. They look at Sicilians as being a different race, because Sicilians are darker (due to North African and Arab influences.)

Well in all honesty there are many languages you might check out. You see Spanish is a Romance Language, which is derived from Latin. There are many languages similar to this such as Italian, French, and Portugese. If you are looking for a challenge, you might take on Russian. There language is totally different and derived from the cyrilic alphabet. Hope this helps.

It should be a big help to know Spanish already. I'd suggest finding a Brazilian in your area to speak with, as the biggest problem I faced with my previous knowledge of Spanish, was the speaking part. That being said, there are big differences and one shouldn't write them off and think they can just use Spanish in Brazil, for example.

The Spanish language is also called Castilian meaning Castle-land It originated in the Cordillera Cantabrica, in northern Spain in the 13th century. The Spanish language developed from vulgar Latin, with influence from Basque in the north and Arabic in the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula.
