How is Spain's Spanish compare to Mexico's Spanish?

Answer 1

It's sort of like the difference between American English and British English. The most noticeable difference would be the Spaniard pronunciation of the letters c and s when they are followed by either e or i. A speaker from mexico would pronounce them with the typical "s" sound. However most speakers from Spain would pronounce them as "th" sort of like an English speaker with a lisp. For example the Gracias pronouned by a Mexican would be "gra-see-ahs" while in Spain it'd be "gra-thee-ahs". There are also some noticeable differnces in vocabulary. Just like with American and British English. The word for juice in Mexico is "jugo" while the preferred word in Spain is "zumo". Aside from pronunciation and grammar the only other difference I can think of is that Spaniards use vosotros/as when talking informally to a group of friends and ustedes when talking formally, like with a group of elders or something. In Mexico ustedes would be used in both situations. Despite the differences though speakers of the two variants can usually understand each other. Even the words that are different are usually understood based on context.
Adios

Answer 2

vosotros is not used in Mexico, but it is used in Spain. Castilian Spanish is spoken in Spain, and Latin American Spanish is spoken in Mexico. Castilian Spanish pronounces c and z when they are in front of i and e as the english th sound, and Latin American Spanish pronounces c as the English s before i and e, and z is prounounced as the English s. Coger is used in Spain with several meanings including to take, but in Mexico it is the f-word. Also, U.S. English and Nahuatl haved had influence on Mexican Spanish.

Answer 4

as was previously mentioned, spain spanish has a sort of lisp on the c, and thus c's become "TH's. Also the S becomes SH.
But more than phonetically, gramatically the spaniards conjugate with Vos and Vosotros, and MExican spanish uses "Tu" and "ustedes"
IN spain, "ustedes" is only used in formal plural, while in Mexican Spanish its used in all sorts of plural, whether it is formal or not.
so if you are adressing congress in Mexico, you would adress them as "ustedes", the same that you would if you were discussing the soccer game with your friends.
If you were in Spain, however, Congress would be "ustedes" and friends would be "vosotros"
