Hello Gyan! I think you would find this video informative and entertaining: https://youtu.be/4LjDe4sLER0 It's a song by two non-native Spanish speakers that have traveled extensively thoughout the Spanish speaking world. Espero que esto te haya ayudado de alguna forma. Avísame si te gustaría reservar una sesión. ¡Ya que acabo de empezar en italki, mis precios están súper bajos!

Hola!, they are very similar, just a few words may have different meaning but that depends where you are, because every place has their own expressions. But the pronunciation or writing its the same. And well maybe are some different accents just that. Saludos!

There are different accents, words and expression in any place, even in the same country. In my opinion, there's no need to choose one. The important thing is making yourself understood. The same happens in English. If you know the basics, then you can speak in many countries and people will understand you.

Hey Gyan! To put it short, yes Spanish variates greatly from country to country and even within the countries themselves!!! We all have different expressions, way of saying things and meanings. Honestly, we all understand each other. I'm Colombian and I have been living in Spain for 3 years and I have no trouble understanding Spanish accent, words, expressions, etc. Although they are very much different that the way I speak Spanish back in Colombia. It comes down to little things and differences but my personal (and likely biased) opinion would be to learn Spain's Spanish or Colombia's (More specifically Bogota's accent) Spanish because I find it to be by far the most easy to understand Spanish variations.

Hello! One of the biggest difference between spanish is the way they talk and express. An example in colombia we hace diferent expretions that maybe in a different place is different, but in general there's not any big difference
