This may sound ignorant but at one time I thought speaking Spanish was speaking Spanish, but when you talk to somebody that truly knows the difference they will tell you that not only are there different dialects of Spanish but their different cliques of Hispanics. I know that probably sounds naive, but hell I didn't know back then.

It's really not much different than all the different English dialects. I was just watching 'National Lampoon's European Vacation' and this cockney English guy was saying something to Chevy and he broke out his pocket translator. His son said 'Dad, he's speaking English'.
