Muchas gracias a todo por su aviso (I know that's full of errors).
Poli -- This time around, I'm planning to just focus on good grammar and pronunciation, and not worry about accent. I'll be living in New Mexico, so the standard Latin American pronunciation makes sense (an Argentine accent would be out of place in the Southwest).
Rusty -- I'm kind of a linguistics buff, so I learned about the different phonemic patterns in Spanish. You're right, almost all the letters are pronounced differently than in English. For me, it seems difficult to pronounce vowels and especially consonants the "Spanish" way, especially ones that are very different from English (especially /r/, /v/, /d/, /o/, etc.).
