You can buy a phrase book called "Mexican Spanish" by Lexus.

You can find it here:

As Lazarus says, proper, standard Spanish is identical in both languages; however, Mexicans do have their own special colloquialisms. You can find lots of book on Amazon . com on this subject. - --Mariana--, Aug 30, 2009

I am from Colombia and I am sure we speak and write very good formal Spanish. Mexicans, Puerto Ricans and other natives from countries close to the United States use a lot of words (anglicisms) taken directly from english. In Miami, Cubans talk a very particular Spanish as well, with a lot of anglicisms. So, all these sometimes confuse people in learning Spanish when they find a lot of different expressions for the same word in English.

The main differences are their colloquial expressions. Formal Spanish is identical in both languages. The only way to learn natural Mexican expressions is to speak to Mexicans.

thanks muchosimos graciass

Muchísimas gracias. You ar using "o" instead of "i", and "ss", which doesn't exist in Spanish.
