I'm travelling to Cuba soon and would like any advice on how the Spanish spoken there differs from the Spanish taught in the Rocket Spanish course.

Hi friend, i have been to Cuba many times and i have many Cuban friends. I have found that there are differences with Cuban pronunciation mainly as in all Latin American countries they dont pronounce "th" this is pronounced as an "s" but also they drop the "s" from many words for example : they would say "mucha gracia" (instead of "muchas gracias") or "bueno día" (instead of "buenos días"). But of all the Spanish speaking counties i have been to, i have found the Cuban people the most willing to help you learn more, they just love it that you take an interest in the language. I hope this is helpful.
