Spoken Spanish - very hard to understand?

content

I love it when people who don't know nothing about a subject just give "their opinion".. Here is the thing, Spanish has lots of accents (way more than English) so depending on which is the one you learned, the other ones are gonna have a different rythm and entonation, the easiest ones to understand are the Colombian, Spaniard and Mexican ones (since these 3 pronounce all letters at a normal speed), the hardest ones to understand are the Caribbean and Chilean ones (since these 2 skip lots of S's and speak too fast), despites this fact, Spanish is still pretty straight forward, unlike English were its speakers don't speak clear and there are even "hidden" tricks to sound native.
