I know this is weird…but I have a hard time understanding Mexican American’s when they speak Spanish?

Spanish is my second language, but I’m pretty much fluent since I used to live in Chile…the thing is, I understand Spanish when Mexicans from Mexico speak it, but for some reason it’s difficult for me to understand Mexican American’s when they speak Spanish.
This is stupid, but I’m serious…I’m wondering why this might be.
Thanks ^^

Is Chilean spanish very different from Mexican spanish?

I’m thinking about going to Chile to teach English over the summer, but I heard different dialects of Spanish can be hard to understand. I think the Spanish I learned in high school is Mexican Spanish.
