    Actually when they played the Argentina videos, it was an american trying to imitate Buenos Aires accent, therefore he didn't sound fluent and natural. The guy with dreadlocks was from Mendoza and he spoke really slow, probably had smoked recently.

      what they mean is that the accent is a little bit softer, and there are probably more words foreign people would understand. Depending on the country, there are lots of different slangs, the "neutral" spanish is usually the one from the center of spain, because it's the standard spanish foreigners learn from textbooks. It doesn't mean you don't have an accent, it's just the accent that foreigners learn and can understand.

      @Argentvs Місяць тому +54

      I mean it is. You can always read a unknown word and pronounce it correctly. The differences are accents, stress placement due conjugation. We tend to use different conjugation times for the same thing and all are valid, some region prefers one or other.
      For example you have, Tú tienes and Vos TenÉs are both the same thing in different conjugation form but same conjugation time. El Vos tenés from Argentina changed to imperative from old Spanish Vosotros TenÉIs, and it lost the I.
      And while we use sheismo for LL and Y, you can still read anything. We all write using the same language rules, grammar, orthography, and each letter is the same.
      So you can read anything from anywhere.
      A will be A always, not like in English that you have 2 versions of A or O or U that sounds like A. You can read English words and being unable to know how to pronounce them, much less write them from sound, as it is illogical and irregular with changing sounds for the same letter depending placement, word, other letters. Why Car and Crane have different A sounds, why Kit and Kite have different I sound, why Unit , Subway and Nuclear have 3 different Us?. Not to mention many words have a salad of consonants that aren't even pronounced or they all are shortened into another consonant sound. Say Yatch, Knives, awesome (oh som sounds).

      It is tho. It doesn't matter which spanish speaking country or region you are from, if you write spanish correctly, any spanish speaker will be able to pronounce any word correctly, even if they have never heard it or seen it written before. They might pronounce it with different accents, because there are different dialects, but inside each dialect words are pronounced as they are spelled.

    As a Brit who speaks fluent Spanish, for me, Mexican Spanish is easily the easiest to understand. Like a glass of crystal clear water. Easier, even, than Catalan Spanish, which is the easiest Spanish to these ears on the mainland mother-country to understand. When you get down to South America that water gets a little murky and often becomes undrinkable for the non-Spanish speaker! Here’s my ranking: 1. Mexico. 2. Catalan Spanish. 3. The rest. 4. Chile.

    11:20 This is an interesting phenomenon. Karen, to me, looks of Asian heritage. Just a guess. Very often, there is a phenomenon where minorities in given countries adopt the strongest accent possible to be seen to ‘fit in’. For example, I was born in Scotland, and some of the strongest accents I hear there are from Pakistani-Scots, Indian-Scots etc. It’s a way of belonging. Accents are powerful. Another thing to add, when I was 10 I left Scotland to live in England and was mocked mercilessly for my Scottish accent. As soon as I started to speak with more of an English twang, that mocking more or less stopped. Essentially, it’s tribalism. We spot what we consider ‘our tribe’ in many ways, but accent is one of the most powerful ways.

    The girls that guessed Costa Rican for the first accents have never heard a Costa Rican speaking. While we do have a Caribbean coast, the accent of people from there is similar to those of British Caribbean colonies, not Spanish Caribbean colonies. And the general accent is not at all characteristically Caribbean.
    My grandmother's family was from Puerto Rico. By the time I was born she had completely assimilated the Costa Rican accent and no one would have ever guessed she was Puerto Rican. Now, her brother that always lived in Puerto Rico, I could only understand about 1 out of every 3 words he spoke. Our accents are not similar, at all. And our vocabulary is very different too.

    I am sure that the main difference, despite all the differences in Spanish that I hear not only from all the countries that speak Spanish but from the different dialects of each of the places in those countries and that in a very, very high percentage, except for very exclusive vocabulary, we understand each other or we can easily know what they are saying despite, I repeat, all those differences, is that Spanish is syllabic and not phonetic like the case with other languages, so if I put several syllables together and pronounce them, even though phonetically due to the great variety of accents they sound somewhat different, we understand each other, but in English, for example, phonetics is basic and if you don't pronounce it fairly well you're already saying another word and things get complicated.
