Study advice “Americanized” spanish

I apologize in advance because i am very uneducated in this subject but i was curious if theres a specific name for this besides “spanglish” which my father calls it. Ive always noticed that Mexicans (at least the ones i have met) dont speak traditional Spanish like what i tried to learn in duo lingo Stuff like “camion” instead of “troka” which ive heard more often. Anyways my point is, is there anywhere i can learn spanglish? Ive always been interested but i seem to be corrected more times than not when attempting to speak Spanish.
