   Here is an interesting list of "false cognates", or words that are spelled/pronounced in very similar ways in English and in Spanish, but have completely different meanings in each one:

   http://www.losangeles.unam.mx/falsecognates.html

   I also found this website, I know it’s Mexican Spanish the one they use in their words/expressions lists because I’m Mexican:

   http://www.spanishtown.ca/

   Found this last one on this list:

   http://www.imac-ac.edu.mx/links/studyingonline.html

   And the one above by doing this search in Yahoo!:

   http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=learn+spanish+online+site%3Amx&ei=UTF-8

   (note the "site:mx" part of my search terms, it restricts the results to only sites in the .mx domain, that is, Mexico.)

   Hope this helps!

   Spend some time online at Telemundo or Univision’s websites. I like to spend time at Yahoo! Respuestas for Mexico to practice Spanish, too. I understand you wanting to be specific because Castallian style Spanish from Spain has different forms of speaking and different vocabularies. You could also watch movies in Spanish or watch Spanish TV shows to hear more informal Spanish you wouldn’t learn from textbooks. Of course, the best way to learn Mexican style Spanish is by spending time around Mexican Americans or visiting Mexico.

   the Spanish language is the same everywhere: tense, words….What you might find different are EXPRESSIONS. Each country has its unique and particular way to call certain things or situations. When one learns English, we have a portion of the course dedicated to English expressions. You might want to check for Mexican expressions: your Spanish is the same as any other Latin American country, but they way to address specific things or situations will be the one they use in that particular country.
   There are dictionaries and books. Take a look at the following one from Amazon; it might help you. Good luck!
