I know the feeling about mixing language variations... my English limps due to American and British differences I have never been able to discern.
...But I think you'll be well understood in Lima. It's a shame that the trip to Mexico has been cancelled, but as my grandfather used to say: "hay más tiempo que vida" -> there will be another chance.

Brits speak "proper" English (according to them). Yankees, er, um, Americans speak "lesser" English. (According to the Brits.) I had more difficulty understanding the British speaking (their) English in London than I had understanding the French and the Danes in their respective countries when they were speaking English to me on a trip I made to Europe a few years ago. If you ever have questions about the differences, feel free to ask.

You know a lot English right. Then you are able to speak at English with someone or only you know to write the language. I asking you this because. I have tried to speak with the people that knows English for telephone really it's hard for me. Because they speak very fast and sometimes I don't archieve understand them. Do you know some way to learn to speak English? Please. I'm getting my major endeavor in this language because I love it. But sometimes I need hints of you. In spite of that I have tried to speak with the American people sometimes I archieve understand the people for telephone right. But my purposes even not are ready. I began in this issues since one year ago. But still I'm no able to speak at English with someone.

It takes a lot of practice to speak English (or whatever language you're learning). Find someone you can practice with often. Tienes que hablar lo más posible para poder lograr tu meta.

@Crotalito: Rusty is very right. The only way to improve is to study and practice, practice, practice.
I'm not good at speaking, but there are tips that have helped me improve: watch foreign TV and movies (preferably without subtitles, or with English subtitles); hear music and try to write the lyrics you understand; repeat sentences aloud... and you have an extra possibility to talk to native speakers: use the instant messengers with the microphone on.

One thing that I am against, is watching TV with any subtitles. Because TV is supposed to be watched and heard, not read. :-) I always make that point with people that want to learn any language. |

Actually, I have to say that I try to do some of both - with subtitles and without. The subtitles help me understand the different accents. In fact, I've come to notice when the subtitles don't match the actual lines in the program. Then I'll turn the subtitles off. They really help for beginners like me, though!

@Lou Ann: Watching Mario won't help you much with learning anything else than ...ahm... aesthetics...
As for subtitles, they will be turned off as soon as you feel more confident to understand most of what you hear.
