Guys let's switch the language. You are trying to learn Spanish and I'm trying to learn English. Haha!! Thank you so much for choosing this beautiful and romantic language!! Best success!!
@@Jesus__1800 Hahahah. You would never manage to get a good Spanish accent, to be honest. But some native spanish-speakers actually do get a very good English accent.
Hi, I'm Latina and if you have difficulties with Spanish, we also have difficulties with English, especially to say the words well, because for us it is not easy.
Yes its true, about 40% to 60% of our of the words we're using (except from english) came from spanish words, thats why we have the same vowel as well as some pronouciation of the letters😊
I'm a Filipino and learning Spanish is fun for some reason. It's a bit familiar already because of the loaned words we have but also challenging. Duolingo is certainly making it fun.
I agree with you... but You actually say “Puelto Jico”... I mean... your rolled R sound is not so stressed and almost sounds like a Spanish J sound... Btw... ambos hablamos español y te comento en inglés... 😂🤷🏻♂️
Super teacher! I speak 3 languages and try learning Spanish by myself. Your English has a very clear american accent, which is cute, and your Spanish (as far as I can tell) is crystal clear. Thanks for this video, everything you presented is simple and useful, and I mean EVERYTHING! ¡Buena suerte!
For Filipinos like me, it is hard to grasp how LL (the double L) has come to be pronounced the ways native Spanish speakers do now. We can definitely do the modern pronunciation, but it will definitely annoy us. Lol. We've always pronounced it as /ly/, exactly like Portuguese LH and Italian GLI. They say our pronunciation is archaic.
Jonathan Estrada it is archaic, tho. But that's not a bad thing, I think it's pretty cute and historically interesting. Filipinos pronounce LL like Sephardi Jews in Ladino.
But for words like cebolla(s) and caballo, we pronounced them like y that's why we have sibuyas and kabayo, and not sibulyas and kabalyo. I just find it weird why we pronounce it like ly in several words (e.g. Kalye/Calle, etc.)
I'm Filipino and i speak chavacano as well. I am sooo confused by the LL... It just feels 'different' when I try to pronounce it like J or Y. I GET SO CONFUSED 😭 Nakakastress talaga
Thank you so much, I have a test coming up and I need to memorise a full paragraph about my holiday, I also plan on talking Spanish for gcse, thank you 👏
OMG I can't believe how true is this, for you guys who speak english as a first language is difficult to pronounce consonants like "r" but is the same for us (spanish speakers), some sounds are difficult. The most beautiful thing about languages is to learn, I do it every day with my bae (who doesn't speak spanish). My name is Renata, just imagine how difficult is for him to pronounce it haha.
Not only in French. In Portuguese, accents change the vowel sounds. We have 13 vowel sounds in Portuguese: 5 closed vowels, 2 open vowels, 5 nasal vowels and schwa sound as in English.
I always said that if you never learned the rolled R sound, it is impossible. After about 5 years of INCREDIBLE frustration, i can now make the sound correctly . And yet I still find it almost impossible to incorporate into speech because of the anxiety of wondering if it will com out right - which makes my tongue not relaxed or dry and then I can’t do it . I have spent countless hours and hours - it took months of making sounds like a baby would before I could even get the air to make my tongue vibrate at all. And it practically required that I be yelling! So I gave up after that because I decided it was impossible to say in a word - and combined with other sounds before and after. A couple years later after my Spanish was much better I decided to try again out of sheer determination. And it was a long road. Singing along to songs in order to practice helped me a ton. But my tongue literally didn’t have the right muscle strength. So, while instructions on how to make the rolled R are nice and all - I think that for many people you need to be aware that it’s a long road ahead, filled with tears and frustration, and wanting to give up. It would be like saying “here is how you do 50 push-ups : “ and then you do 50 push-ups - to someone with no upper body strength... Just saying, don’t underestimate the difficulty of that sound - there is a LOT going on with it and everything has to be just right with the air flow, tongue position and level of stiffness/ relaxation .. ayyyyyyy it’s the bane of my Spanish-speaking existence !!
I took Spanish clsss back in the university as it is part of our curriculum. I hardly use it, but know some basic conversational lines. Anyway, recently some customers of mine (i am a call centre agent) tells me they like my accent. I do not know how i sound so i asked. They said i sound kinda like french or latin. If i listen to both, what i see similar is the somewhat nasal sound. Also, i have this air sound everytme i end a sentence.
I subbed just so I can see your lovely self again. Hola! Thanks for your lesson. I do speak some Spanish but I've gotten a little rusty from not speaking it for such a long time.
I have been using Rosetta Stone for about a month. I do enjoy learning the names of different things. However, they don't explain how to use pronouns and things of that nature. I sort of guess as I go along. You have taught me many valuable lessons in such a short time (30 min). And I am sure they will help me to excel in my learning of this beautiful language. Gracias maestra!
@KIL unless you're trying to replicate the Spain Spanish then that is a different story. Most Filipinos who speak Spanish have the accent of Mexican Spanish.
Hello, aspiring actor here. I've been casted in my first ever serious play. No more primary school christmas musicals. I want to do him justice with a Spanish accent to make him stand out and establish that he's not your run-of-the-mill Charming. (We were encouraged to make the characters our own so I took it and ran).
In Polish we have 6 vowels, A E I O U Y. Spanish Ñ is Ń in Poland. Polish H and CH are similar, H is like a silent breathing (like in the English word "holy"), and Polish CH is like Spanish J - throat a little more closed. However Spanish CH sound like Polish CZ. We say Czekolada. We don't have soft volwels like Russian has, (Я Е И Ё Ю, in cyrillic, which sound like, trying to write it in English: Ya, Yeh, Yeeh, Yoh, Yuh) For me, living in Central-Eastern Europe, I'm thinking of learning German, French, Russian, or Romanian. :)
I hate that I was never taught or encouraged to speak my native language. When I try to talk in spanish I sound like an idiot. This video is very helpful
i have noticed the spanish e can sometimes sound different . Like the e in bueno and the e in bien- Sometimes sounds like the english "A ".... but sometimes more like "eh"
My Visayan language is a schwa sounding and has very strong R's... The reason why it isn't hard for us to learn Spanish. Plus our language already has 40% Spanish into it
I thought Spanish is so difficult to understand but there a lot of things similar to Filipino languages.. the vowels and consonants are the same.. sometimes there are words that i read but dont understabd but if you put it in simple way it just sounds like Filipino words.. hahaha.. i have to learn more of them.. Hi im from PH 🇵🇭
mexicans are the best So helpful! It was hard at first, but I got it! Flipped R’s are like D’s, to make it easier I have have a tip, listen to a mexican person wile sleeping, and maybe you can get a little bit better. Like meditation kind of. Ü is like “We”
Welp thank god I'm greek so the r and the rr comes a little more naturally, though, when I speak casually in everyday life, I don't really say the r in greek that much, like I rush over it (same for other sounds too, it's the region). What I do find hard though is speaking FAST. I don't speak fast or "sing" my words, I usually don't say that many words in one sentence. Gotta work on that I guess if I don't wanna sound ridiculous in spanish, huh?
Thanks for your helpful video but there is one unsolved problem that I have and that is the pronunciation of s ! I mean when I listen to people speaking in Spanish with "spanish" accent they pronounce the s letter somehow different as if th in english but not exactly I don't know but I can't ignore this that s is pronounced in a particular way cause I really care about accents.
The rolled r is definitely the hardest thing about Spanish.
No lo es.
@@Neseku ovio que no lo es duh
Idk, it isn't that important to sound like a native speaker.
I mean we are already happy that more people are trying to learn the language.
KMO 325 it’s hard for me to roll the r when I’m talking in Spanish and I’m MEXICAN
for Russians it’s so easy :)
Guys let's switch the language. You are trying to learn Spanish and I'm trying to learn English. Haha!! Thank you so much for choosing this beautiful and romantic language!! Best success!!
Bahahaha I’m also trying to learn English through Spanish
What do you find the most difficult about the Spanish accent..??
Me: The Spanish accent..!!. :-/
It's easy tbh
@@Jesus__1800 Hahahah.
You would never manage to get a good Spanish accent, to be honest.
But some native spanish-speakers actually do get a very good English accent.
Nothing. One of the easiest accent..
It is easy if you keep on listening and practicing
Try listening “Sammy Perez” from “XHDrbz” program and you’ll see that Spanish accent is easy to understand compared to SAMMY...
This was really helpful. Still have problems with the rolling R😭
Brah the RR is giving me hell...lol...i had to come here and see how it's done
For me it's Soo easy 😂
It's easy man i can speak spanish becuase is my native language
Its errrre
Same and I’m actually mexican
Hi, I'm Latina and if you have difficulties with Spanish, we also have difficulties with English, especially to say the words well, because for us it is not easy.
I think my tongue is having a stroke with the “rr”
Tia Enriquez ha...ha...ha...
I just can't make that noise
Meepter a trick I learned is just say the r multiple times, if you keep practicing your tongue gets used to it and starts being able to do it faster
Why do I find it easy
Sama
Philippines and Spain have the same vowel
¿De verdad?
si
@@spotlight9269 si caballero
Yes its true, about 40% to 60% of our of the words we're using (except from english) came from spanish words, thats why we have the same vowel as well as some pronouciation of the letters😊
indonesia too

1:18 never EVER say “puelto lico” no one does that we, usually say “Puelto Rico”
I agree with you... but You actually say “Puelto Jico”...
I mean... your rolled R sound is not so stressed and almost sounds like a Spanish J sound...
Btw... ambos hablamos español y te comento en inglés... 😂🤷🏻♂️
Si lo dicen..yes they do
When you speak spanish fluent but your watching this
Elegante
Hahah
4:00 we all used to this in childhood
I'm Filipino from The Visayas region from the Philippines, and surprisingly most of these exist in my language. How similar and interesting... 💯👌
Super teacher! I speak 3 languages and try learning Spanish by myself. Your English has a very clear american accent, which is cute, and your Spanish (as far as I can tell) is crystal clear. Thanks for this video, everything you presented is simple and useful, and I mean EVERYTHING! ¡Buena suerte!
her: rolling your r’s is very hard
me (when i was 4) for the first time: *rolls r’s like a champ*
I used to be able to in like preschool for some reason but now I can't and I'm dying inside
Well,actually most of the kids can't pronounce r properly until they are 5-6 years old. You are a real champ.
we speak all the R's in Urdu which is my native language so it wasn't hard for me
I do voice acting in my spare time. I have to voice a character with a Spanish accent so this is quite helpful. The rolled r is kind of hard though 😭🤚
In the Philipine particularly in Visayas and Mindanao in grade school our teachers are teaching that Spanish 5 vowel A, E, I, O, U.
She's so good at explaining things!
I like this video. I connect with the teacher as she seems so natural and clear in her speech!
This is so helpful. Thank you so much. It's very helpful to see and hear how you enunciate.
You are a splendiferous teacher. You made learning Spanish much easier for me.! 🌟

Nakakastress talaga
Pronounce the LL and the Y like the english "J", word of spaniard, greetings.
I don´t know italian, but spanish LL=LH portuguese, and spanish Ñ=NH portuguese, greetings from Spain

Thank youuuu so much for this. I'm learning Spanish! watching from the Philippines! Gracias!
Thank you!
It was so helpful.
This was amazing!!! I find it so difficult to master the rhythm and flow of phrasing when speaking
Thank you for explanations.
Ok I think I did the right thing learning Spanish
Muchas gracias por el vídeo me gusta muchísimo gracias de Australia 🇦🇺
This somewhat helped, as a Mexican who grew up in Californa I needed this
Super helpful thank you!!
Very helpful thank you! ❤️

Wow this is amazing and i have trouble when it come to the roll RR, but for ñ im good at this, pretty good

If and only the Philippines did not stop speaking Spanish, I think that Philippine Accent might exist right now hahahahahaha. What do you think?
Actually almost every filipino still speaks like that though
Who else took Spanish in high school even though it’s there first language just because it’s a easy to pass if u already know the language
I'm taking Arabic and English(I used to go to the English class in 5th,6th and 7th grades,so I'm fluent in it.).

Great video! Very helpful
Amazing video!!!!!❤️
Im expecting filipinos to be good at this cause some words in our language (tagalog) are spanish
@KIL unless you're trying to replicate the Spain Spanish then that is a different story. Most Filipinos who speak Spanish have the accent of Mexican Spanish.
Im Filipino but just need the Spanish accent for acting lmao
@@whalegod2411 Really?Nice!
Yh
me studying Spanish and picking which accent to use haha I like the accent from the center. It sounds friendly jaja
I know almost all words she said, im lucky and thanks to my grandmas and grandpas because they're always using spanish words when talking to me

I'm here because I wanted to know how english speakers learned spanish, I'm learning English haha
I love this!New subscriber here
En la explicación de las vocales, ha debido colocar mayúsculas y minúsculas.
Por ejemplo, A ,a para entender la palabra "Mamá"
i am from dominican republic so this is easy for me to pronaunce
Thank you for explaining the Cuban and Puerto Rican pronunciations. I thought it was my ears!
i have noticed the spanish e can sometimes sound different . Like the e in bueno and the e in bien- Sometimes sounds like the english "A ".... but sometimes more like "eh"
I think rolling your "r" is important but hard, as is pronouncing and remembering accent marks
Ive noticed too that some countries treat the y as an english j sometimes
I'm really interested to learn Spanish coz almost every words that we use here in the Philippines in a day to day basis came from Spanish words.
Same
I find the rolled R so much more difficult when it's at the end of the word versus the beginning or following a constant sound.
My Visayan language is a schwa sounding and has very strong R's... The reason why it isn't hard for us to learn Spanish. Plus our language already has 40% Spanish into it
Nice Video
As an Indonesian, Spanish pronounciation is very easy for me cause we have lots of similarities.
I thought Spanish is so difficult to understand but there a lot of things similar to Filipino languages.. the vowels and consonants are the same.. sometimes there are words that i read but dont understabd but if you put it in simple way it just sounds like Filipino words.. hahaha.. i have to learn more of them.. Hi im from PH 🇵🇭
and the double LL is in urdu too like LLE with the spanish E it makes LLE
Me, a white Brit: gets cast as Bernardo in West Side Story
"Welp, lets get this accent on"
this makes you sound native?? i already say this perfectly nice video though, i liked and subscribed
mexicans are the best
So helpful! It was hard at first, but I got it!
Flipped R’s are like D’s, to make it easier
I have have a tip, listen to a mexican person wile sleeping, and maybe you can get a little bit better. Like meditation kind of.
Ü is like “We”

this is easier than i thought cause i am bosnian the r is the same and ñ is like bosnian ‚nj‘ (we also have ch (ć))
The r. So i,can skip them completely?
For me it’s hard to say the v sound in Spanish because it’s so close to the b sound and I end up just doing the b sound instead. Awesome video!!
Camryn Bourne What?? "V" in Spanish has literally the same sound as "b". Both letters are pronounced the same exact way 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
If you end up doing the same /b/phoneme you end up doing It right, as that's the way the should sound in spanish.
Oh thanks. Sorry if I offended, I didn’t mean to. I’ll keep that in mind when I’m speaking.
I recently knew I was part Spanish HAHHAHAH then I'm trying to learn it right now.
I’ve been practicing the rr for 5 years like a nervous tic and it still takes effort to pronounce
I just realized I'm using a middle Mexico accent. I'm kind of singing my words. Interesting.
Thanks for your helpful video but there is one unsolved problem that I have and that is the pronunciation of s ! I mean when I listen to people speaking in Spanish with "spanish" accent they pronounce the s letter somehow different as if th in english but not exactly I don't know but I can't ignore this that s is pronounced in a particular way cause I really care about accents.

I’m Nail Spanish?? What city are you from?
yo tmb mi loco
I'm pretty sure they 'R's in PR lol... just not all the time. Never have I heard a Puerto Rican say "Puelto Lico..." more like "Puelto Rico"
Who ever thought that the “rr” sound is really hard for non Spanish speakers
I find the rolling r and the accent
As a Filipino, we can easily pronounce words with the Spanish accent.
i know how to roll Rs but i cant do it at the right time when i say the words
I’m doing this so when I come back to school people will think I forgot English omg this will be so fun.
In Philippines the words are like this some are 😀
Filipinos can relate 😅. Philippine English can be similar to Spanish English (only in accent, I think)
16:56 the "RR" one....Oh my god that was really difficult😵💖
hello, im from colombia and speak spanish, i want to practice english and spanish with someone for learning together
I sound like a weed whacker trying to roll my r’s.
I found the rolling r easy..maybe coz of my mother tongue
as a chavacano speaker in the Philippines, this is so easy for me🤣 likeeee this is how i pronounce chavacano words.
Only A++++ for this lesson
and cz of me being a Urdu speaker i learn accents very quickly cz in our language there are almost every sound
