In the USA you speak Latin American Spanish (Castillano / idioma de Madrid). I don't know all of them but I can think of at least seven Spanish dialects. We have only I think 4 distinct dialects of English in the UK. But correct me please
I am sure one of our Spanish members will correct me and clarify this.

Taking Spanish in high school was an eye opener to me. I thought the teacher had a speech defect. It was the Castillian dialect he taught, while I had been raised speaking a more, "home boy" Spanish. A combination of English and Spanish in the same sentence, with a different emphasis pronunciation in some words entirely.
Pero, no podemos entiendar que nosotros son diciendo regardless?
