Like, is the Spanish they speak in Mexico the same as the Spanish they speak in Honduras?

No there are differences ( but not huge , just small changes ) , so far I know three types of Spanish :-

Spanish in Latin America

Spanish (Mexican)

Spanish European

Usually the differences are not huge it's just a little bit of changes in the expressions and the words .

Hope this helps smile

The differences in the various versions of Spanish are like the differences in the various versions of English. If you speak Spanish as someone from Spain, you will have no trouble being understood in Mexico or Honduras. There might be a few words that cause some confusion, but that would be quickly cleared up.

This forum is very international, with native and non-native speakers from all over the world. We rarely have any difficulties understanding each other (especially the written Spanish).

Learn all you can here, and try to get into an immersion situation to really learn the language.

No Jenny it isnt. In different countries the word chico and chica are niño and niña in another county. I think that is the right spelling. Hope this helps you!
