Hi! the main differences in spoken Spanish are in letters S, Z, C, which in Mexico generally all them have an unique sound like the S in "sad" which is called SESEO, but in Spain they have some different sounds for that letters. Also the letter J in Spain has a harder emphazise than J in Mexico.

And I think people in Spain talk faster than Latinos. As Sanz said earlier, Z and C are pronunced similar to "th" in English (as in "think"). Surely there would be some accent variations both among Spainiards and Latin Americans. But I am not an expert on that!

there are lots of differences between the spanish spoken in mexico and in spain. I'm spanish and the spanish I speak has nothing to do with the other one.

Mexicans tend to "sing" their sentences, and it sound really different. Spanish speak without stressing words..in a very linear way.

I heard that part of the reason for the uniqueness of the Spanish accent was the lisp of a Spanish prince which was eventually copied by the majority of his fellow Spaniards. The way it was told to me was that this prince lived after the Spanish had already established their empire in the Americas, and thus these accentuations were not adopted by Spanish-speakers in the New World.

I just realized about another difference: In Mexico we commonly use simple past instead present perfect used in Spain, example:

Mexico: Ayer te llamé por teléfono.

Spain: Que ayer te he llama'o por teléfono.

By the way, the word que is frequently used.

It is easy to over emphasise the differences between "standard" Peninsular Spanish and any variety of Latin American Spanish. The similarities outweigh the differences by about 1000 to 1. I would not even classify them as dialects of the same language, but rather as varieties. The degree of homogeneity is remarkable. You will in fact hear more dialects of Spanish if you travel from Asturias to An

How can you say that latin america is not similar to spain. Where do you think the latin american countries got their religion, language, culture, food, music and their racial/ethnic makeup of the people; from spain. And most of the people of latin america are of spanish ancestry and something else. The only reason there are slums and barrios is because the people of latin america who are mestizos
