I like watching videos to learn and I used to watch a show from Spain but the Spanish in this video (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VPGo3t5qTZ4) seems different somehow. What kind is it? And, is this dialect particular to a country?

It is not a dialect. It is Spanish with mexican accent. It seems to be an episode of a Mexican TV show.

So, it uses the same vocabulary as Spain? Some words sound different than a show in Madrid I watched. They use different words for general stuff like goodbye etc. I think..– verveCommented Mar 22, 2014 at 14:56

@verve no, it doesn't. For instance, vale is mostly used in Spain, as are lots of other terms.– c.p.Commented Mar 22, 2014 at 16:42

Do Madrid and Mexico pronounce the same words differently though?– verveCommented Mar 23, 2014 at 20:27

@verve Different countries pronounce different phonemes differently. For example, in most of Central and South America, as far as I know, the "soft" C sound (not the K sound) is pronounced as if it were an "S". For example, for the word "cocido" a spaniard would say something like "kozido", whereas a mexican would pronounce "kosido". Did I explain that somewhat properly?– pHontaCommented Mar 24, 2014 at 0:50
