Oh yes. Spanish is different everywhere, and how it differs depends on a lot of things. One factor that makes a huge impact is the prescence of other languages in or around the country in question. Take Argentina for example. In Agentina, there have been large Italian communities in the past and present which have made their impact on the rhythm of Argentine Spanish, and the presence of Lunfardo, an indigenous language, influences a lot of vocabulary and pronunciation. Argentina is just one example; almsot every Spanish speaking country has vocabulary, accent, and even grammar differences.
Very much so. I learned basically Mexican Spanish in U.S. high school, then moved the Venezuela, which speaks a very distinct variety of Caribbean Spanish. They speak very, very fast, leave the S off the ends of words, and glide over the consonants between vowels, etc. Mas o menos becomes maomeno., helado becomes hela'o, para becomes pa', etc.
Not only that, but the slang is very different, even the names of common foods.
But it's like English. The English in Glasgow is different from the English in Dallas, which is different from the English in Sydney.
