I'm not a native speaker, or even fluent, but I understand reasonably well when I'm in-practice. Here in New York (and particularly in my neighborhood) I hear a lot of Salvadoran and Honduran Spanish, which is always way too fast for me to understand. When we were on vacation in Southern California a few years ago, though, I heard a lot of Mexican Spanish on the streets and, in comparison, it was downright comprehensible.
(And apparently I speak Italian with a Spanish accent; more than once in Italy my Italian was answered in Spanish, which is a special kind of confusing when both languages are a little shaky for me.)
