The same problem happens in reverse with foreigners in the US when they are exposed to, say, “countrified” American English. Or regional British accents.
Exactly.
Rereading my previous post, I think I should clarify: educated Mexicans are easier for me to understand (more articulate and speak Spanish more grammatically and distinctly, as do most educated middle/upper class people who speak their native language).
Re: British accents. I remember meeting someone from Bristol and thinking how different that accent was from a London accent.
