In general, here in Spain we are not able to distinguish the most part of the american accents; but it is sure that if we have here so many different ways of speaking Spanish, being such a little country. In a country as big as Mexico, and even more in a whole continent as America, it will be a lot of different dialects.
Ok.

Explorator.
Then you have doubts about the Spanish or at least the dialect in Spain.
Although you don't believe me, also I have my own doubts about that.

Accents in English, as in Spanish, will vary from state to state, county
to county, and in a city like New York (or London, England), from
neighborhood to neighborhood...

I'm from New England - A friend of mine from Texas sent a postcard from
London, said "The people here talk like you."; to his ear there were similarities...

Maybe, really I don't know perhaps if exactly vary the slangs of neighborhood to neighborhood.

But it casually could to work in any places where the people are habited to the colloquial language, for instance if you go to South American, at most the 80 per cent of the people speaks like instead of the rest of the people only are quit inside of the country, here in Mexico there're idioms and the skills are different in any parts as I said before.

But well I believe that in all this commentary could be true with exception of Texas and me.
