For me the easiest accent for me to understand is Mexican. The Cuban accent and then second the Argentina accent are most difficult for me to understand. I actually can understand the puerto rican accent and Dominican accent a lot more than the Cuban accent. Probably because I’ve taken lessons with someone who is Dominican.
Loved this! I especially loved seeing los bebés negros hablando en español! Tan lindo! Would you consider doing a video that looked at the black Spanish culture and if they, as a community, have their own slang or speak differently from the non-black españoles…similar to us in the U.S.? Thanks for taking the time to educate us!😊
I’m Venezuelan and I think Mexican Spanish is by far the hardest to understand. They make up so many words and they all talk with the same singing accent. “Weyyyyy”
El acento dominicano hablado correctamente es de los mas neutros que existe en toda Hispanoamérica, ese acento mal hablado lo hablan la gente con carente educación o de barrios, y agregar que últimamente ha surgido una “moda” de que gran parte de la juventud a adaptado esta manera de hablar lamentablemente.
Cuban accent is very diverse, you have the occidental accent with the explanation that you mentioned with the “R” but we have other accents in the Oriental provinces like Santiago and Guantanamo where we have closer sounds to Puerto Rico and Dominican. It’s not the same as Havanas accent or that occidental accent. I’m from Guantanamo and live here in the USA for 22 years but I’m also mixed and most people due to my looks and accent never expect me to say that I’m Cubana, that’s a huge misconception of Cuba and I think it happens in most Hispanics countries.
los dominicanos de los barrios son los que hablan asi, si nos tragamos muchas y R pero depende de la educacion. aunque si creo que hablamos un poquito rapido
I would have to say I understood most of the Spanish from Spain, a fair amount of that from Mexico, also surprisingly a lot of the speech of the Venezuelan speakers. I didn't understand the Colombian or the Peruvian as much. I was surprised by the amount of the Spanish the Cubans spoke in the video, though I have heard Cubans who might as well have been speaking Arabic. The Spanish from the puertorriqueños had so much English I was not sure they were a real test of "epañol." I found the Argentine Spanish even more challenging than Dominican Spanish, in fact the most challenging of all.
If you weren’t sure I just want to let you know yes this video did help! As of right now I’m still not sure if I can say that there’s a favorite accent that I prefer but I’m really surprised with how much I could keep up with although only about 40%🤗 but I can definitely see I need to start focusing on the language being spoken in situations like these. Thanks for posting🙌
el español de españa es el mejor y más fácil de entender
I loved the fact that you chose Peruvians on the street speaking in a very coloquial way. There is a big difference between ERES GUAPA y ESTAS GUAPA. The first one is permanent, the second you will use, for example, after someone has dressed up to go out.
Thanks for another great video Mike! I’ve been studying Spanish for about 3 months now and your videos have been an inspiration for me. Also, thanks for sharing your tips and advice because they have surely saved me time and frustration. I find Mexican Spanish the easiest to understand. My favorite accent is the Venezuelan accent, and the one I find most difficult to understand is the Dominican accent. I could only understand about 20% of what they were saying, but I’ll be a better listener with time. Thanks again for making these videos and believe me, you are helping people with your content. Keep it coming!
Yessir!
¡Excelente video! Muchas gracias por compartirlo. Lo voy a usar en mis clases. Saludos peruanos desde Blackpool, Inglaterra.
Amazing content
Mil gracias por este video. Acabo empezo a usar hello talk. Tuve una conversación con un hombre de Argentina por una hora. No lo puedo creer que me dijiste que podía entenderme, aunque he estado aprendiendo solo once meses. Qué genial tu canal! También, se nota el doble l. The first time he said calle i was like que? Lol
I'm from Spain and my accent is original Castillian accent. All acents in Latinamerica come from the southern regions of Spain in XVI century, and speak in a completely different way as we do. For example, not a single country in America use the θ phoneme, and they change Z and CE/CI sounds to S instead. In old days, Peru was the core of viceroyalty along with Mexico, and still nowadays Peru keeps the closest resemblance to original spanish. Obviously, there are
I really enjoyed this video. It has a nice variety of dialects. I would say im most familiar with the Mexican accent and could understand 40 to 50%. I think the Venezuelan accent might be my favorite. In this video, i really liked listening to the Cuban accent, it was really cool. Thanks for putting this video together. 🤙
This is a very helpful comparison. Since most of what I've heard on CZcams is Spanish of Spain, it was easiest for me to understand, followed by the. clarity of Mexican. The soft blurry pronunciations were the hardest: Colombian and Dominican. I will save your video for further listening practice. Thanks a lot.
Great video Mike! My favorite accent so far is Mexican. I definitely hear the similarities between Puerto Rican & Cuban but I feel like I understand PR more probably because I listen to so much reggaeton haha. And the most difficult for me would be Chilean, it’s a whole other world between their slang, the speed and innotation. Second hardest would be Dominican/Cuban.
veeery interesting video
