Is it normal that I find Chilean Spanish particularly hard to understand? I’m learning Spanish and training myself to understand spoken Spanish by watching telenovelas. I started with an Argentinian show. I find Argentinian the easiest to understand.

I think Chilean Spanish is harder to understand, agree. Mostly because it is so fast!

I’m a native Spanish speaker from Argentina and I have to pay extra attention if I want to get every word they are saying.

It sounds to me as if they were taking a deep breath and trying to say as many words as possible within that breath.

I would love to visit sometime!
