RuthAnn. I am also over 70 years old and use Duolingo. It is an internet based language teaching aid which you can study at your own pace.  It is free for basic Spanish but if you want to learn at a faster more concentrated pace you pay a fee. I can now converse quite freely in conversationa...

...l Spanish, although it is quite difficult at my age to think in English, speak in Spanish, listen in Spanish and understand in English. As part of the course there is the opportunity to listen to Spanish broadcasts which will help your understanding. Hope this helps

Do they have a Spanish version rather than the South American Spanish one?

Bodil it appears to be an American Spanish version. It is I believe American in origin. There is also an online teaching aid at Buusu.com that may have a Spanish version. It may be that they have chosen the American/Spanish version because of the differences in Spanish spoken in different regions of Spain. I.e. Valenciano, Catalonian, Basque etc.
