it's true you can get by with the basics of peninsular spanish in latin america. since it's such a big place, each country has variations. in mexico for example, the 5th person (vosotros) is never used, the 'they' form is used for both you plural and they. argentinians use lots of 'sh' sounds when speaking, so to say "yo me llamo..." they say "sho me shamo" it takes a bit of getting used to. but as i say, it's a big place so i don't know all the variations and what is used where!

I thought that in Argentina, they said more like the 'zh' as in pleasure? Also, isn't they 3rd person plural used in ALL of Latin America and not only Mexico?

I don’t think there are many types of Spanish as you state in your question. It’s just variations in the accent and pronunciation of some words. Of course, in Spain the language sort of conserves in a better way because it originated there. It’s sort of like the U.S. and U.K. relationship.
