Hola, creo que la principal diferencia es la entonacion (forma de hablar o "dejo" de cada pais). En España hablan enfatizando mas el sonido de la letra "S" o la letra "Z" mientras que en America Latina ambas letras se pronuncian de la misma manera. Tambien en España (tambien en Argentina) la conjugacion de algunos verbos cambia, sin embargo se entiende lo que quieren expresar.

Hello Harmony They have already told you some differences between the Spanish that tend to be spoken in Spain and that of other countries. Keep in mind that each country and each region within the same country has variations (in Spain and in all other countries where Spanish is spoken). If you want to differentiate the Spanish that is spoken in general in Spain from that of Latin America, you can look at the preference for using different forms from the past tense, the pronunciation of the z, some commonly used words (For example in Spain it is used: móvil, chaval, enhorabuena while in general in Latin America other words are used). Avery important point is the use of the pronoun vosotros and its verb forms. The vosotros in general is used in Spain but not in Latin America. Of course, there is much more to say depending on the region; for example the vos (different from vosotros) and its verbal forms in some parts of Latin America or the speech of the Canary Islands in Spain but in general with these criteria I think you could distinguish what interests you. I hope the information is usefull. Profe Freddy.

There is not such a thing as Spanish from Spain and Spanish from Mexico. Every country speaks differently, but the grammar, except for little differences, is the same for all.

Hey Harmony, there's more than one way to recognize the spanish in spain and the spanish in southamerica. Talking about pronunciation, in spain they pronounce the “z" with a stronger accent, while here in southamerica, the pronunciation of the “z" is very similar to "s" Talking about grammar, I can say that in segunda persona plural they use vosotros and vosotras, while in southamerica we only use ustedes. I hope that it was helpful. My best wishes for your language learning journey ❤️
