hi mohammad! i'm not really familiar with your two inquiries but I can answer the third one.  Latin and Spanish are two different languages.  Why don't you try those online translation sites to further understand what I mean.

I know this is an old post but I'm bored........

1. I can't really answer that surely. I'm sure programmatic spanish is ALOT more extensive. I am almost finished going through it and it is a VERY good course.

2. These courses are very useful. This will help you to speak with a very good accent, that is a latin american accent. Everyone I talk to tell me I have no accent. I'm sure to a Spaniard you would have an accent but I don't think its a big deal. It would be like learning english and having an american accent in the UK. They will also help you to train your ear to hear and understand spanish. However spanairds tend to talk faster and in other countries the different accents make it harder to understand. As far as vocabulary you will learn quite a bit, but if you can find a supplementery source to help you in this area, that would be good. And now grammer, I am convinced that this is the BEST course to learn grammer. I have done several different course and this is by far the best. At this point in time I almost understand ALL spanish grammer just from these courses alone. So I am very happy.

3.Now the difference between latin spanish and spain spanish is this, not very much.
There are some words that are used differently in the two, trust me not a big deal. There is also another form of verb conjugation in Spain spanish. This also is not a big deal. Because one, you can get by, two, what you may lack in spain spanish will be easily learned if needed.

Anyway I hope this helps!!!!!!! I hope you somehow come back and read it!!!!!!
