Mexican accent is not that pronounced, and they speak slower than average. Chilean is the bizarre one that is incomprehensible and fastly spoken.

Never heard of there being 5 years of (formal, based on you using the word "took") courses of "Chilean Dialect" before, that is not a real thing dude, neither the course, nor the accent being called a "dialect".

With all due respect of any chilean rooshvfers the chilean accent is the one we all make fun of in latin america. I can stand peruvian and make a bit of fun of some mexican accents, but I can't stand the chilean one, they talk like clowns, I don't know. Try Colombia for real, we even have lots of accents but the standard one is the most slow-paced and easy to understand one.

South America in general is more racist than Central America/Caribbean. Mexico city seems like the best option for a black guy. Mexican Spanish is one of the more "neutral" ones along with Colombian and Peruvian, understood by everyone. You will learn a lot of country-specific words (chido, padre, guey, carnal), but that will be the case in any country

OP be aware Batuummania must be the most autistic Travel forum poster since Travel Museums, so its best to ignore his advice completely. I'm bored over the holidays so went reading through his posts, there are so many ridiculous highlights where he feels the need to say bizarre, incorrect, things about places he has clearly never been to. Three of the more recent:

/thread-46342...pid1843748

/thread-70564...pid1851107

/thread-70564...pid1851137

Anyone who says something as outlandish as "Canadian chicks are strongly all about online game and you rarely see them in bars or walking alone." can't have their opinion on anywhere else trusted. Hes clearly just Googling things and regurgitating (largely incorrect) opinions as fact.

^You should save that post and continue to monitor Batuummania’s retarded posts on here just to remind everyone not to take him seriously.

Tell the girls you're 29, grow a beard, whatever -- they'll react better. Trust me. They LIKE older men a lot. I was 38 and dating 23, 24 girls when I was there -- it was not only accepted, but totally normal. Younger guys like yourself have it tougher. My 23-year-old buddy ran into some difficulty until he started lying about his age.

Best advice ever
