This one is the main difference, actually. But you don't have to worry about it. They will understand you anyway. And if you feel more comfortable speaking with the American-Spanish accent, it's OK too (keep in mind that seseo also exists in southern Spain and the Canary Islands). In other words, you don't have to talk like Nick Clegg, if you don't want to.

Yep. But through a hard way: translating song lyrics. It's often a headache.
