I haven't tried Coffeebreak Spanish but anything you enjoy is worth keeping on with. I have the impression that the difference between Spanish Spanish and Latin American Spanish is less than the difference between British English and American English. If you are practicing with local Spanish speakers, I would think they could give you feedback if you started sounding Scottish! I wouldn't myself worry about it, but that is partly because my own accent is so strongly American that I just don't worry about it and get on with the conversations!

I live in Florida anyway so it's been on my mind for some time to become conversant in Spanish if, for no other reason, just to be courteous to spanish speakers. Your newsletter and blog have been a wonderful help to me; both in assessing the different courses available and in keeping me focused on the goal! Thank you. Have you listened to any of the "Coffeebreak Spanish" podcasts? What is your assessment? I enjoy them. I realize that they stress mainland Spanish over Latin American (my primary interest) and I'm slightly concerned that I will end up speaking Spanish with a Scottish accent! Share your thoughts.
