Please clarify this. I am listening to the Pimsleur language tapes in an attempt to increase my Spanish fluency. I've always known the Spanish language to be referred to as Español.
However, these tapes state that in Latin American countries, Castellano is preferred over Español. I have been to both Panama and Mexico, and no one to my knowledge has ever referred to Spanish as Castellano. However, I am headed to South America (Peru) in March, and don't know if Castellano or Español will be preferred.
I've done a bit of internet research, and have gotten some relatively solid answers, but I'm curious to know everyone's take on this. I don't want to be misinformed, and would love some answers from Spanish speakers around the world.
