I'm a beginner in spanish myself, but from what I can see, one of the biggest differences between spanish spoken in Spain, and spanish spoken in Latin-America is that in Spain, when talking to more than one person, they use the nosotros-form (and the ustedes-form when being formal), while in Latin-America they skip the nosotros-form and uses the ustedes-form only, whether it's formal or informal.

You mean 'vosotros'. Everyone uses 'nosotros'. - gintar77, Jul 22, 2011

Maya you would be better off entering a search of Latin American vs Spain as there are many threads on this subject. Also you be aware that you are looking for the differences in Latin American, not Latin which is an entirely different language.
