Thank you for the feedback. Ideally we want to have them paralelly, that is, whole curses recorded in multiple accents. However, it is something that will take due to what we can afford as of now :)

I must say, as a beginner in Spanish, I'm not very pleased about the sudden change in pronunciation and accent a third of the way through the course. The first 14 lessons are recorded with a very neutral Spanish pronunciation. Here, however, we hear something much more akin to Latin American systems, but with certain idiosyncrasies which - so I am told, but correct me if I am wrong - don't find much use outside of specific regions, such as the phoneme |dʒ| for both -ll-, more commonly pronounced |ʎ| or |j|, and y.
Personally I feel that an introductory course should stick to one system only. Either that, or parallel recordings should be made for each of the two main tendencies - standard Peninsular and a representative of Latin America.
Learning to pronounce a foreign language is already difficult enough without having to change pronunciation paradigms part way through a course.
