Latin American Spanish

[Soglio]

Is there a Latin American Spanish course in the works for English speakers? I'm contemplating a trip to Peru in about a year, and would love to accumulate whatever I can by way of language. (I imagine Quechua is out of the question. ;-)

The existing Spanish course teaches Latin American Spanish.

What dilez said. Also: I strongly recommend using Destinos as well: http://learner.org/series/destinos/

Thank you - that looks promising. Is there anything along those lines that you'd recommend for German?

[wataya]

Destinos is great. She travels through different Spanish speaking countries so that you naturally get exposed to several different accents. Quite clever! :) As to German: I guess there's probably something out there but as I don't study it I don't know of any particular site to recommend. [But if you're interested in Dutch, Lenkvist gave me a few very good suggestions, yesterday :) ]

Thanks. I will try out Destinos. The last time I was in Mexico, I had a devil of a time with my Spanish-of-Spain phrasebook and would like to do better this time.

Dutch is a little beyond my horizon at the moment, but I'll keep that in mind. How did you manage to learn so many languages?

Thanks - that's good to know.
