hi jim, I can teach u spanish if u want .........

Hi Jim! Mexicans may be a good starting point for you. They talk a well-spelled and rather slow Spanish. Their local accept is well understood all over Latin America, as well. Please note that some words may be part of their local slang, so always try to check your progress with other Spanish speakers, in order to learn as much standard Spanish as possible. Some examples: "Ahora mismo" (right away) is often "ahorita" in Mexico. "Neumático pinchado" (flat tyre) is "Tubo ponchado" in Mexico, or even "Tubo bajo", "Tubo pinchado" in other Latin countries. Good Luck!
