I've had 2 years high school, 2 years university, five months government training, and have been all over Central and South America. And sometimes I can't understand a thing they're fucking saying. They can always understand me; I speak Spanish properly. But they tend to speak ebonics Spanish and good luck with that shit.
Don't get down on yourself if you can't get what they're saying. I work with some Caribbean islanders that speak "English" and I can never understand what they're saying. So it happens in Spanish, too. Many accents and dialects and local slang. You can cross a border in South America and the Spanish is suddenly different.
