And I wouldn't be so quick to lump Venezuelan and Mexican Spanish together. Well, they're going to have serious differences in pronunciation - that's for sure. But they may also differ in pronouns. Although I haven't looked at Venezuela, I know for example that in the Argentinian dialect there's a pronoun that doesn't exist either in Spain or Mexico... And then you're going to encounter idioms, misuse of which, as I understand, leads to comical misunderstandings more often than not, because Spanish-speaking countries are strangely fond of applying formerly innocent words to obscene activities, regionally, while in other countries those words remain "clean".
I'm not bored with German at all, On just got curious with other languages, I still love the German language or else I wouldn't be stuyding it.

As for Spanish, this particular guy on Facebook is the only pne willing to help even if his dialect is different from the one I learned, but I'm putting Spanish aside right now to focus on German.

I decided to learn German because I fell in love with the language through music, and am determined to learn it. So no I'm not bored with it.
