What type of Spanish does SD teach?

Question

As I have looked around on this site, I have noticed certain phrases used more commonly than others, and phrases different than those I am used to frequently pop up on flashcard sets. For example, "no lo se," rather than "yo no sé," for the phrase "I don't know," as I am used to. Is there a particular way of speaking Spanish that is taught here? (As in Castillian vs. Latin American) Or is my grammar just atrocious?

I wouldn't assume your grammar is atrocious. Of course we can all improve. What you are learning here is Españargentinicaraguatamexichilelsalvedorican Colombolivenezuruguban Spanish.

Answer 2

There must be a standard International brand of Spanish.

Answer 3

It's not Latin American Spanish. There are many words you will learn here that are not used in Mexico. However, most of the words are general and all purpose.
