¡Hola!, I have been looking for a Spanish group for about a week now, so Im glad I found this, it appears quite active. I have been learning Irish Gaelic (Gaelainn) since 96 and decided I would give Spanish a go, as there are way more oportunities to become fluent. I have a book that I got the library "Easy Spanish Step-by-Step" and it seems to be pretty good, with lack of audio however. It claims to teach 'Standard Spanish'. I am actualy curious as to which dialect I should learn as I live in New Mexico(N.E.), but have Family in Cali (the 2 places that I will frequent the most). I have heard that the idiom between dialects can be disasterous when trying to comunicate, so , any help will be greatly appreciated.
¡Gracias! |
No, you shouldn't worry too much about the different dialects. There's all mutually intelligible. They're all essentially the same in higher registers. If communication becomes a problem, just try to avoid slang and regionalisms. You can learn more about the unique vocabulary and archaicisms of NM Spanish on Wikipedia .

Example: information vs información. You will find that almost all words that end in -tion in English (they come from Norman French -tion words, or directly from Latin Acc -tionem words) end in -ción in Spanish. |
