Why?

The main thing is to learn good, standard, non-Spanglish Spanish. Then, once in the country, you will learn localisms - which should be kept for use with locals.

There are too many varieties of Spanish to try to learn a specific one when starting out. I do not advise it, and am basing this advice on decades of experience.
