I had the idea to start a poll to see how many people on Mobileread speak spanish. This thread can be a way for us to know all of us and to start discussions about literature/culture/events in Latin America and Europe. =)

When you say Spanish, do you realise just how many dialects there are in Spain?. I speak/understand/write/read Castillano. I live in Valencia province, where they speak Vallenciano. Quite how you learn this without living in the province I do not know as there are no published dictionaries. Have you ever heard a Basque speaker? to me it sounds like Russian!. In the USA you speak Latin American Spanish (Castillano / idioma de Madrid). I don't know all of them but I can think of at least seven Spanish dialects. We have only I think 4 distinct dialects of English in the UK. But correct me please.
I am sure one of our Spanish members will correct me and clarify this.
