    The dialect you’re using is definitely Puerto Rican. The accent however, sounds a little Dominican. But it’s pretty good. The S disappears.The R’s become L’s. The D’s disappear if they’re the last consonant before a vowel. You pointed out very accurate characteristics of Puerto Rican dialect. Nice job!

    As a Puerto Rican I literally screamed out laughing when you did the cut scene to speaking with your mouth barely open, it was so spot on hahaha I think you did a good job explaining some things that some Puerto Ricans do when they speak! Obviously, like you already said at the beginning of the video, there are other forms of our accent so idk why everybody is so butt hurt but okay lol. Clearly you spend a lot of time around men so you mostly hear the male accent so what I feel like is lost here is the female accent which is perfectly fine! Love your video!

    Constructive criticism, as a Puerto Rican I can tell the slightest differene between the Puerto Rican and Dominican accent. I notice sometimes you kind of start the right way but all of a sudden it kind of becomes Dominican. It's tough to be able to speak like Puerto Ricans unless you have practiced it for years but you not too far away man. You almost got it.

Then, one day, I was in a grocery store with my mother and heard the sound of a woman speaking Puerto Rican Spanish and it was literally like listening to comfort food for the soul. This was over 30 years ago and still remember that day and the happiness I felt afterwards. Boricua!

    When you said the thing about the differences of us rolling our rr's was really spot on. Some of us roll them and some us just don't. Some of us just can't roll them, we just can't do it, some people even send their kids to speech therapy to able to pronounce it correctly, most of us grow out of it but a lot of us can't do it. For example, I've never had problems rolling my r, but my brother still struggles with it, he can pronounce it correctly in some words but he just can't on others; my boyfriend just straight up can't roll his r's even if he tries his hardest, which just shows the differences in all of us

    Puerto Rican here, the people complaining "this sounds Cuban/Dominican, this is not a Puerto Rican accent blah, blah, blah" Puerto Rican, Dominican, and Cuban accents are not too different from each other because A) the islands are very close to each other and B) Our accents/Spanish came from Andalusia. It's true! When I was Sevilla, I was kind of shocked by the similarity between Andalusian Spanish and PR, Cuban, DR Spanish but then I remember a lot of Andalusians and Canarians (also Andalusian descendants) moved to the Spanish Caribbean islands. Granted, we have our differences but not by much.

    •  Před 6 lety +13

      If you put a Dominican in a room full of Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and Haitians. Who do you think they gravitate more to? Hint: Someone who speaks the same language.

    • @robjackson5245
      @robjackson5245 Před 6 lety

      Um, no Puerto Ricans are Spaniards, in the ethnic and legal sense of the term, not Andalusians or any of that, which implies indigenous Spaniards.
      Nuyoricans are indigenous Spaniards, non-white, "bro"-saying, Rivera, Delgado, Santos who speak the type of Spanish DJ Playero is known for, you know movie Latino Spanish. So yes their Spanish is obviously gonna be from Andalusia, Catalonia, Old Castile. A real Romance language, like French and Italian.
      Puerto Ricans and all other Spanish countries, -ez surnames, on the other hand, are white-skinned, sound like Frank Lopez from "Scarface" when they speak English. Spain obviously included. Their form of Spanish is a Germanic language. Not Latin whatsoever in roots.
      And all this is pretty obvious. I mean what bozo thinks -ez surnames aren't white by looking at them. Or that "bro" isn't Latin slang just by hearing how it sounds, and what bozo doesn't think it's Nuyorican, just by listening to how it sounds.
      It's pretty obvious when you hear of Nuyorican you think of "bro"-saying Latinos with last names like Rivera or Delgado.
      Basques who are the same related grouping as Irish = also not white.

    • @robjackson5245
      @robjackson5245 Před 6 lety

      Also the idiocy behind the OPs statements seem to imply that Spain was created by indigenous Spaniards. Which is wrong. Visigoths created Spain. And did to the indigenous Spaniards exactly what British-descended Americans did to Native Americans. One quick trip to Spain will show you how obvious it is that Spain is 100% Germanic, and nothing Roman or Romance. And for instance their English accent sounds like that of Frank Lopez from "Scarface," the accent family to which Swedes, Danes, Russians, Brits, Jews also belong to. Not Andy Garcia's type of English accent.

    Okay I have loads of questions.
    1. Where exactly do you find the spanish podcasts or content geared towards a specific spanish dialect?
    2. Do you recommend a teacher/tutor?
    3. Do you go to spanish bars/clubs? If so how's the experience?

    •  Před 6 lety +15

      Hola. Thanks for watching the video!
      1. Google or youtube. Just type in The name of the country followed by podcast. You may have to search for a while to find the right one, but i have found plenty of great ones. Or check out this site. You can listen to any radio station from Spanish speaking counties around the world. www.radiowebsites.org/
      2. It really depends on how you learn. I'm not biased either way because I'm an online Spanish teacher and I see how People grow from my lessons, but I also learned on my own, because I hated the school's way of teaching. If you can teach yourself, then do it. If not, seek help.
      3. I used to go to Spanish clubs. where I live now there are none, and I'm dying.
      But I hated the reggaeton clubs. It's just like going to a hip hop club. people get dressed just to stand on a wall. I love love love, dance clubs that play salsa, bachata, merengue, and cumbia. Those are the BEST. beautiful crowd, and so much fun dancing! It's always a good time.

    Awesome videos! Regarding Puerto Rican, Dominican, and Cuban Spanish, something else to point out is the much more frequent use of tú and its placement preverbally in questions. This is likely because of the elision of the s at the end of the words, leaving ambiguity regarding the subject of the sentence. For example: -¿Qué TÚ quiere, pana? (Instead of -¿Qué quieres? or -¿Qué quieres tú? found in more neutral varieties).

      No hay de que. Hablas muy bien, tal vez te puedo dar una 6 pero no más. Cometes errores simples. Yo te sugiero que repases algunas de las cosas básicas para que te acuerdas de los usos. Por ejemplo, dijiste, "Tengo que trabajar mucho duro." Si vas a decir "tengo que trabajar mucho." esta bien, pero no puedes decir "Trabajar mucho duro." tendrías que decir "MUY duro." entiendes? También dijiste voz profundo, pero la voz es femenina así que deberías de decir voz profunda.

  • @ask4theupgrade359
    @ask4theupgrade359 Před 5 lety +9

    This accent that drops the “o” and “s” is MOSTLY associated with a Puerto Rican that:
    - is being raised in the U.S.A.
    - learns Spanish from just listening, because their Mom mostly speaks to them in Spanish
    - is uneducated in the Spanish language (does not Read or Write the language)
    - is 1st generation Puerto Rican (Nuyoricans, Chicago-Ricans, etc)
    REASON: Puerto Ricans tend to speak Spanish so rapidly/fast that you don’t hear the “o” or “s”. However, I assure you that my parents/grandparents and educated Puerto Ricans from the island (their schooling is in Spanish) are pronouncing and not dropping the “o” and “s”. You’re the first person I hear mispronounce “nosotros” 😬 Wow, it’s really gotten that bad - lol
    Perfect Example: ay Dios mío = ay “Dio” mío. (Drop the s)
    As a NYC Puerto Rican, I’m definitely very self-conscious about, speaking slower pronouncing every “o” and “s” - since I mostly travel to Spanish speaking countries for work, including Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. I always adapt to their accent, while I’m there (for a few months) in order to fit in. However, there are always new words/phrases (slang ones/pop culture) to learn, but I would highly not recommend mispronouncing Spanish 😁
