How to say "excuse me" and " I dont understand" in Spanish

Hola!! Soy de Argentina.. escucha me esta mal dicho, porque eso significa listen to me (y encima se escribe escuchame, todo junto). La forma correcta es disculpame o simplemente perdón. Por otro lado yo no comprende está mal dicho y sería yo no comprendo, o como es más común acá.. yo no entiendo.
Espero que te sirva y podriamos hablar por Skype un día de estos...

If you are talking with an extrange person or a person like your boss, older person etc. in Argentine we say "disculpe". If you are talking with a young man o woman, friends, brothers, sisters etc. we say "disculpa or disculpame"
"No entiendo" "no comprendo" both are ok but is wrong to say "yo no comprende". For example if you are taking a lesson of spanish and you do not understand something you can say "Perdón, no entiendo" or "disculpe, no entiendo".
"perdón" and " disculpe" in this case is the same. Both are common in south america

"Disculpa" works, though sometimes "permiso" (as in, excuse me, I need to walk through here, or excuse me, I have something to say) or "perdón" (as in, excuse me for making a mistake) sometimes work better. "No entiendo" is best, I think, but "no comprendo" would be ok too.
"escucha me" isn't quite right, because you're saying "listen to me!" and "yo no comprende" isn't conjugated correctly.
