Spanish of Spain or Latin American Spanish?

¡Hola! ¿Cómo estás?

I know that at the start some students of Spanish have one problem. They don’t know which accent of Spanish to choose. I want to ask you, if you had such problem and how have you solved it.

Same with English at school they teach us British accent, but I prefered Amenican don't know why :P I just liked it and now it's too difficult to me speak British.

It was very hard for a english speaker to tell from which countries the speakers were from.  (I have just returned from my holidays, which is why I had not replied)

If you want, you can try one game. It´s about pronunciation in different countries. The idea is to guess from which country people who're reading the texts - <a href="http://donmanual.com/spanish-pronunciation-in-different-countries/">http://donmanual.com/spanish-pronunciation-in-different-countries/</a>;

Yes, you are corrct I find myself stuck between the 2. When I first started to learn Spanish, mu teacher was cuban, plus I was about to go to Cuba, I knew nothing of the language and she told the class, ''you have a choice to make, the sound ''th or s'' I chose the ''s'' it seemed and seems more easy to pronounce and easier to understand.  However after spending time talking to my Spanish friends, especialy my friend from Madrid, I now pronounce vez as veth and hardly ever pronounce it as ves. In a sentence I sometimes find myself using both sounds, for example ''a las thinco quedamos al lado de la pisina'' Another thing is that I never have studied is vosotros, I didn't think it was necessary, and now it seems odd when I try to use it. I can not see a way around it and as I have said it depends on the person with whom I am talking, but for me it sounds more natural to say ''muchas grasias and not gathias'' fro gracias.
