In my family I'm Puerto Rican we talk either really loud or really loud
And outside of your family you're not Puerto rican anymore?
HAHAHAHA lol!!! Same doeeee
Yoo fax same
Me too
Wow facts lol
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!
Thanks! : ) That's definitely why I said that I was not a pro at this in my disclaimer. Thanks for watching I appreciate it.
whats the difference between accent and dialect?
Tania Aponte agreed
Nice explanation Tania!,, very good👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✌
True
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!
Jaja Thanks! and I totally agree with you! I work with some puerto ricans and I know exactly what you are talking about, may i'll catch it the next time around lol. But I'm glad to see a bori that understands. Por Fin!
Meghan can we please contact on whatsapp or something i would like someone from PR i can speak good Spanish and i would really like to learn that accent i mean the tone too and everything also the written.. I hope you can help me Gracias 🙏❤️
Nplos Le its not Puerto Lico but Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
I hate the monotone PR accent of the young Boricuas.
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.
I appreciate your comment! I can sometimes nail it and other times I can't lol. It's ok though.
Rickie Walls it's all good man, practice makes perfection lol.
Although I am 100% Puerto Rican I sound Cuban all the time lol I think he does good especially with the mountain rr my family are from Utuado and have the mountain accent. Bottom line not all Puerto Ricans sounds the same. Thanks for trying!
Machine Gun that’s good critism.. if only everyone was this pleasant
One Nation can we please contact on whatsapp or something i would like someone from PR i can speak good Spanish and i would really like to learn that accent i mean the tone too and everything also the written.. I hope you can help me Gracias 🙏❤️
“Why you talking like you just woke up all the time” that had me rolling 😭😭
Lol It's just a few rappers who do it trying to sound cool I suppose.
Idk why there's so many people who aren't even from the island saying this doesn't sound Puerto Rican? I live here in the Northwestern coast and this is spot on
Thanks! I already told them that I know everyone doesn't speak like this, but they still are getting mad lol
cass yeah cause its those boricuas who lived in the usa and moved to P.R afterwards and talk like they did when they lived in the states lol
William Digregorio dude what are you talking about. I've lived in PR my entire life and people I know who haven't even stepped foot in the states do talk like this lol. Obviously not everyone does but a LOT do, especially the cacos
I am from Puerto Rico.. and NO.. THIS IS NOT SPOT ON... THIS IS BS.. PLEASE DON'T COSIGN . MY FELLOW PUERTO RICAN..
I want them to get back together. I loved them together. He still.loves her and I know he would take her back...but he said he didnt want to come back on UA-cam together which would suck.

Jaja no estaba pensando en el cuando dije eso. Para mí, es fácil entenderlo. Pero Anuel y ele el dominio parecen tener calcetines en las bocas cuando hablan.
El Chévere Bryant myers
anuel aa for sure jajajaja
Rickie Walls you Spanish my brother 😂😂😂
@ call me my phone number is 414_882_8124
Yes. In the mountains/countryside we do pronounce the RR that way. You’re doing a great job with all the accents! It varies depending on social class, education and region. 👊🏽
This is a very urban Puerto Rican accent, it's clear this guy is very influenced by the rappers if the island. Good job picking up alot of the idiosyncrasies of the PR accent, but it would be cool if you wouldn't just focus on what we call the "cacos" of the island.
I may do a part 2 fo you and others like you. : ) Thanks for watching!
+Rickie Walls (Bilingue Blogs) thanks
lowki, this is a dumb statement in itself LMAO
Puerto Ricans do not at all talk like the rappers LMAO.
And also that ghettoness you're ascribing is not a black thing. It's a "bro"-saying Rivera, Nuyorican thing. "Bro" is Latin, NUYORICAN, Rivera slang. Not white, not black slang and certainly not "Visigothic" in origin
Rickie Walls don’t listen to this fool 😂 you’re good I’m half and my family and neighbors speak that way almost like the gangsta language in the old movies 😂
Wallace Haggins because you and your family are cacos. Me and my family do not talk like that.
You actually taught me something about myself lol my grandparents are from the moutains of PR and I learned spanish from them. We dont really roll the '"rr" as you explained, wondered why that was
French influence.
In linguistics, it's called "the aspirated S"
Ehta (está)
And "the aspirated R" carro > cahho
This is actually rooted in Portuguese from the colonial era
I was thinking "this sounds like Portuguese" and then I saw this comment after....haha spot on
Ohhhhh I was thinking this sounds like the substitution in Brazilian Portuguese
I was just driving home and said someone should do a Puerto Rican accent how Ricky did the Dominican...and what do I see! Thanks brother. Keep up the good work
HAHA h yes. I may love Dominican Spanish, but That doesn't men I'm going to ignore the rest of the Caribbean and Latin America. Thanks for watching. Cuba is next. Anything else that you want to see?
Rickie Walls no that I can think of at the moment. I take something from all of your content. When did you feel comfortable to start speaking to others in Spanish?
I felt comfortable speaking with friends right away, but with strangers not until I was about 16/17 I started learning when I was about 12 ish.
At 4:48 the mountain "r' it came from French settlers but it's not just from the mountains, in Ponce they also do it.
Dale gracias por la información!
My family is from Ponce and that's how my family says their rr's my moms from Brooklyn and is big with the kh sound. I'm a mixture lol this video was great
Why am i watching this? Im already Puerto Rican x’D.
*Send Help*
Steel Fury you’re not puertorican
im watching it bc my fam calls me the “white girl” of our fam 😀
@@Antraxj13 ??
Same here, it’s the curiosity of how accurate he got it, and I think he did a pretty solid job!
💌🤣😂
This was sooo well delivered and spot on!! I admire your research on this. DONT LISTEN TO THE HATERS!! I’m from Puerto Rico born and raised and I can confirm this is the way we speak 😂✌🏽
Thanks you! That's why I gave my disclaimer. I know that everyone doesn't speak this way, but the ones that I met did so I just repeated it jaja. I appreciate your kindness!
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
LOL pero los acentos de las tres Islas son tan pero tannnnn parecidos! Carribean spanish is truly a beautiful dialect. Carribean latinos share a unique ethnicity and language!!!!!!! Somos hermanos! 🇩🇴🇨🇺🇵🇷🇩🇴🇨🇺🇵🇷🇩🇴
Exaaaaacto! Tú sí sabes cómo es la vaina! Jaja gracias por ver!
After my family moved from P.R. to Florida, there weren't any Ricans where we lived. 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!
@@mymusings1293 amen.
@@mymusings1293 There's a lot of boricuas in Orlando. :) At least now there are.
No they are not. They are very distinct. Puerto Rico has very different regional accents
I can tell he has an ear for music. I come from a musical family and I hear cadences in the way people speak in general and I think this lesson will definitely help me learn how to tell the difference in the accents.
Im learning Spanish and one day I’ll be speaking as good as you hopefully.
¡Gracias! I am learning Spanish as an adult, and my father and his side of the family are Puerto Rican, so this helped me understand why I have a hard time understanding him sometimes! 😆
Absolutely hilarious. You're awesome bro. Keep it up. You had me dying.
Lol Thanks!!!
Puerto Rican and this is actually spot on. 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷♥️
At the gym and I'm laughing SOOO HARD! You've nailed most of it! I give you a thumbs up and sub for this! LOL
My friend played your video today for me to make fun of me for being Puerto Rican (as he usually does when he can't "understand" me) but I have to say... Your accent sure did remind me of being in my Grandma's house back in the day. Pretty spot on!! 😅
WOW. Great job, dude! You really got this! Even including the jibaro accent. Hat tip.
Thanks! everyone doesn't agree with you according to the other comments lol. but I tried lol.
You sound like Dominican Puerto Rico doesn't have the same tone as Dominicans
The charactteristics are accurate, the imitation may not be, but just like i said in the video, I'm not a pro at imitating it all of the time lol.
Wolf ..bulshit... .....You never going hear a dominican calling a nother man ( papi ) we don't copy the way ya'll talk....... Eso no manin Nunca💪💪💪
Wolf that's what I was thinking, he sounds Dominican
Wolf yes it does
Timmy Turner déjalos quietos a ver qué necesidad tenemos los dominicanos de imitar a los boricuas? Pa” qué diablos?🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
Jajajaja! “Open your mouth!”
That was Tego for sure!!
Love your videos. If I can achieve speaking like a PR, I can do ANYTHING!! 😄
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.
#Truth! Thanks for that lol. I've come across Puerto Ricans who sound just like Dominicans, and Cubans who sound just like Puerto Ricans. It really just depends on the person.
True! I don't know why they're making such a big deal about it. Plus the culture is very similar to one another except Dominicans dance to bachata instead of salsa.
DR and Haiti is one island but split into two different countries. How is that hard to understand?
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.
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.
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.
This video was really accurate and so funny. Nice job! 🇵🇷
Jaja Gracias!!! I tried. I know it's not perfect but hey.
I’ll be going to Puerto Rico for 4 days and Dominican Republic for 12 days this month. You were spot on with the Mexican video where I stayed for 7 months. I hope I can communicate effectively and understand the people in PR and DR. Thanks
You did such a great job! 🇵🇷🔥 You have the rhythm down pact. Loved this video and your Bad Bunny impersonation 😂🙌🏽
Jaja Gracias! That wasn't my Bad bunny though. That's in this video: ua-cam.com/video/aneJ37YGH20/v-deo.html
Thanks for watching!
Awesome videos, you do an awesome work. Greetings from Spain! And also, nice dancing
Muchas gracias! I appreciate your kind words.
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?
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.
Joshua Hill yabla.com
Joshua Hill There are no dialects in Latin American Spanish, only different accents and idiomatic expressions.
Wow I just came across this video and I'm impressed! You are spot on. A lot of it depends what part of the Island you grew up. I didnt realize we have a pop in our speech, but once you showed the example, I heard it lol! The part about talking without opening your mouth is funny bc I have cousins in the hood that talk like that and its almost like they have a mouth full of water and they dont want it to spill out their mouth. Nice dance moves at the end.
You are incredible I agree that you sound Dominican at times. But you are still on point in what you're saying your observation of pronunciations. You have a natural talent. Thank you you my latin brother. Que Dios te bendiga mi hermano.
Is funny how being from PR, I could detect 5 different accent on you describing one that are from different regions of the metropolitan area. I like the accents from the other side of the Island and center.
Jaja. I know I missed a few accents, because I now have a PR coworker and she sounds more like a dominican than the accents that I talked about here. but hey I was just going off of what I knew about at that time.
Can you do a video on how to speak like a Panamanian. Mi abuelo es de Panamá y quiero aprender cómo ellos hablan.
Sure I can. I can honestly say, that Panamanians talk like a lot of people from the Caribbean with hints of a Colombian accent. You'll find that a lot of the Caribbean rules apply to Panama.
Soy de República de Panamá
chévere. ¿de que parte?
Christian Craig I love panama I’m from there ^w^
Que xopa fren 🤙🏾
Dude ; I love your spirit! I’m going to take the high road on “ how to speak Spanish like a PR or Dominican “ 😂
Haha gracias! And what do you mean by the high road? that one went over my head lol. But thanks for checking out the video!
You did a good job on this! All the years I have been learning Spanish, I feel like my accent is crazy. I have picked up things from my Mexican friends, my Salvi friends, and my one Puerto Rican friend. And Now that I have been taken Spanish lessons with my teacher who is from Costa Rica, he is always calling me out on it! hahaha
Especially when I say Esatdo Unidos. He knew I was trying to sound like my friend from PR lol
Buen video hombre!
Me gusto y me reí mucho😂 Es q soy Puertorriqueño y al escuchar a otros hablar parecido a nosotros me da risa porq yo se que algunos hablan de esa forma.
Y como en Puerto Rico hay una mescla cultural todos hablamos de distintas maneras el español y nos entendemos. 😂🔥❤
AYYY SOY DE PUERTO RICO 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷❤️..Y usted hizo con los españoles con los y acento... es usted hispano ?
jaja no soy 100% Afro americano, pero me encanta la cultura del caribe!! Gracias por ver el contenido mío!
AMO TU USER ❤️😭😍🔥 Lmaoo swimming in Namjoon’s dimples
Wow pensé que eras dominicano!
i love ur videos they helped me out soo much! thank u!!
literally found this just because i was intrigued by ozunas songs and why the r's turn into l's lol i guess i never listened to or noticed that in puerto rican artists' music. but! im glad im here! ive always loved the differences between spanish accents in latin america. so basically all of this is right up my alley. cant wait to check out more of your channel!
6:20 Así es; yo no soy boricua y al llegar a la Isla con mi acento mexicano de los EEUU, yo estaba como Wow! Parece que ustedes están cantando. PERO después de vivir y estudiar en la IUPI allí, hablo así. Jaja. 💗🇵🇷 Me encanta.
Oh my goodness you are so right about "el ritmo"!
That's what I thought, but some people are getting mad saying that I'm not right lol.
Rickie Walls lol it was good
Wow you are great !love your way of teaching !keep up the good work !
Thanks for watching and commenting. I just moved to Miami so I'm trying to link up with a few Cubans who can tell me how their dialect works. I know how, but I think it would be more entertaining if they did it.
i like when you translated the music text, please do that a lot more because that is real advanced Sp and it is fun to learn
We do incorporate some english words
Like tu me enviaste un Correo we dont usually say Correo we would use like Email and instead of a fiesta is Party
Y como que mezclas el acento puertorriqueño con en dominicano
I'd love to see a video on tips on how to study an accent. Or how you learned to pronounce with a chosen accent
Hey Ricky, I learned Spanish on my mission trip to Mexico and I just posted my first spanish speak UA-cam vid! Thanks bro
I love this accent of the Spanish language, very dope
You are spot on! My grandmother was from Ponce and she said her double Rs like a J and that's how I learned to say it and so I can't really roll my rs well. And everything else is how my relatives speak! :-) lol
Monica T. Rodriguez Don't "pigeon hole" all PR's linguistically. He's spot on for whom? The few people he's imitating maybe, but other than that he's generalizing. He's NOT spot on. If speaking for yourself and yours, keep it there.
george a roman you're right, George, I was generalizing. I should have said, that was from my own experience. Despite the small size of the island, there are a lot of variations in pronunciations and terminology. My own parents have argued on what's the right word to call something. Thanks!
Monica T. Rodriguez It's all good Ma, and your welcome. God bless!!!
@@georgearoman9884 butt hurt
This is exactly what I was looking for - thank you!
My Puerto Rican side is from yabucoa, which is the mountain area and ur emphasis on the how the rs sound like hs was on point
This was really amusing to watch! You are definitely on point. I just watched your learning Spanish with bad bunny and that was really good my brotha!! Gfj!! I’m from Toa Alta!
Many people in here taking this to the heart! "Oh we don't all talk like that" No shit! I'm sure he knows that, let the guy do his thing damn. Calm down LMAO 😂😂
Guana.Guani.mahubi true. I clearly said in the video before I started that I know that EVERYONE doesn't talk like this lol.
I heard the beginning and I'm already relating😭 That sounded like my tios😭😭
Eyyyy
Good job man. I lived in Texas most of my life so my Puerto Rican accent is mixed with Mexican so my relatives get a kick out of it. But you sounded a lot like the western side of Puerto Rico so you did god
What a fun video! This is really helpful
Mi patria es Trinidad.. me has juzgado en mi capacidad hablar español y me diste 5 y me novia me dio 8 ella estaba siendo agradable conmigo .Te agradezco mucho por tu opinión verdad tengo que trabajar mucho duro para alcanzar a tu nivel en español por al fin de este año pero estoy consiguiendo ahí con tu ayuda.Te preguntaría uno más cosa , tengo un voz muy profundo me daría mucha alegría si puedo escuchar alguien hablar español en tu vídeo en el mismo voz como yo y otra vez graciasssss
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.
Y en cuanto a la voz profunda, soy el único que trabaja en Bilingüe Blogs así solo puedo usar mi voz jaja. o tal vez te entendí mal. Tal vez cuando me mude de aquí, conoceré a alguien que me pueda ayudar en eso.
Vale .. que tengas un buen día
@Rickie Walls - para que te acuerdes de los usos* (para que+ subjunctive). Espero que aceptes mi correción. Hablas muy bien el español. Por cierto, ya has llegado al nivel superior. Y es por eso mereces elogio.
Great PR accent.The only thing is a lot of people overexaggerate the r sounding like an l.It's very slight in most normal conversation,and many times it's almost like a mix between land r.The double rr that has the raspy r sound is more common than you think,but still most people roll the r's.Overall excellent video and pretty much spot on.
Gracias!! I appreciate it. Hopefully, I can go there to witness it!
Lmaooo this video was gold. Hella informative too
La primera vez su canal corazón. Y tengo una claje' paveraaa🙆🏽♀️😂😂 Me encantó, de por sí ustedes los de RD son chistosos, e imagínate imitando otros acentos🙆🏽♀️😂😂 pero algunas personas deben entender que el español boricua que estas enseñando aquí es el callejero con un poco del acento en general y más claro del bori. Pero me encanta.
Btw, di con éste video porqué me llamó la atención pero estaba buscando para aprender Inglés. 😘 abrazos, ya sé tus clases uno va aprender súper entretenido ❤ Gracias Dtb
Amo este video !!! I grew up speaking Puerto Rican Spanish here in the US in a predominantly Mexican Spanish region of my state and coming from speaking loudly and hearing words to what I felt was strainining my ear to hear Mexican Spanish because it was lower sounding to me, but eventually it wore on me
Some people don't understand what they are saying because they isolate themselves from other cultures. I love learning about othed cultures and not just the latin community. I even took French in High School. I love learning about different countries. I have a friend from Sri Lanka. I know some Indian words because in Sri Lanka it's somewhat the same. People just have to be Open Minded 😃. There is So many Beautiful Countries ❤
You're so right. I hate that people are closed minded, hopefully my content can help open some minds.
Damn bro you really good at this language stuff...first time I watched one of your vids...just subscribed.
Thanks so much for your subscription. Sorry that It took me so long to respond. More subscribers means more comments, but I respond to every single one of them.
Well done!! Love how you explained the PR accent 👍🏽
You did a great job man coming from a Boricua! You touched on all of the important differences of PR. Especially the campesinos and the R’s and our rhythym! 💯
Gracias Denali! It's always hard for me to imitate, because I'm so used to my Dominican accent, but I tried hard here! Thanks for watching!
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).
Really good observation! That is very interesting and it makes perfect sense.
Thank you! Your videos are exactly what I want to learn!
Thanks! I'm glad that I can help people out. What else do you wana to see on the channel?
Sorry for taking a week to respond. I've been extra busy.
Brah.....I have a PhD in Creole Linguistics. In the 60s I learned my Spanish as a young adult in P.R. (UPR) You had me totally ROTF. Great job. Like we used to say Masa mano!
Jajaja Gracias por ver el video. Se que todos los boris no hablan así pero es lo que yo he observado.
🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷 mi favorito!!!! Me gusta el video!
Puedes tú imitar el acento? jaja. Gracias por apoyar el video!
Rickie Walls 😩😭 deseo pero noooo. Tengo que seguir practicando!
Sí
Just in case y'all didn't know, there's an app called "Hellotalk" if you want further your spanish and improve it even more.
Black Panther one of my favorites!

very helpful for dialect study! excellent work
😂😂😂 I honestly love your videos
Could you go over Spanish sentence structures, and explain se?
I sure will. I have plans for all of that. I try to throw in a mixture of culture in between my actual lesson series. Thanks for your recommendation.
It’s reflexive meaning oneself ....
Im puerto rican and a common misconception is that we sound dominican. Some of us do sound somewhat like this, but this is too forced. Us flows naturally. Im not mad, no hate just saying xP
@S a C no, only in Loiza.
Omg when you went into the tone section, you had me smiling, bc I felt like I was hearing family :-)
Glad I could bring you happy memories of your fam. with this video! jaja. thanks so much for watching!
I’m so glad I came across your page!
Sorry for the late response, but thanks so much for checking out my content. I love helping others learn about the language and culture!
You definitely got the western part of Puerto Rico accent sounds similar to the Dominican accent
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 😁
🥱🥱
To be honest with you this is how my papá y most other Puerto Rican’s I’ve met sound so good on you
So accurate lol especially with the rhythm of how we speak!
Que lo que is Dominican
The lack of moving of the mouth reminds me of the Posh.
What is Posh? lol
@ fancy/upperclass UK accent
Good job bro. You are doing well!
You deserve 1million subscribers 😊
As a true Puerto Rican, some words were incorrect. You sound like a Dominican, but good try.
Good job with explaining the unique PR spanish.
Gracias! It was fun haha.
¤T'CHALLA¤ oh your a dumb in a can haitian?
I'm from San Juan, PR and my Husband is from Ponce, PR. And you nailed it!! Te quedo bien chevere.. 😊👍
WOOO! Thanks. I know I'm not a pro at the imitation part, but I think my characteristics we pretty accurate.
When you were dead on with the slang, it had me lol.
imita el acento de españa :-), el andaluz(españa del sur)
Just the fact that he's open to criticism makes me really like the guy (pause), but this is definitely not the Puerto Rican Spanish bro. Sounds more like a weird mix between Dominican and Newyorican
I'mma tell you the sad story in my life I was accused of speaking Spanish and they were blaming me for being so proud of being Puerto Rican so my school told me not to speak Spanish and this is when I started to speak English but this was a very long time ago. Please show you're a homie some love my guy. 🇵🇷
I ADMIRE the effort, like it is NOT easy to speak like a Puerto Rican if your not native of the Island. But yes he mixed the Dominican accent with the Puerto Rican accent. But men I just laughed SO HARD he did it a great job!! I’m from the Island btw.
Tu Eres BORICUA VERDAD O VACANO DE REPÚBLICA DOMINICANA ? ... LOCO ME TIENES CONFUNDIDO!
AAtv TV Cuando al pájaro no lo conocen por su escremento lo conocen por el plumaje. Este es domicano, indudablemente.
YO soy afro-estadounidense. no soy latino, pero me encanta el español y la cutura latina. estoy aficia'o de la cultura domincana.
Bilingue Blogs La cultura Dominicana es riquísima, gracias por interesarte en ella y lo de “ aficia’o” te quedó muy bien!👍🏼 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
It sounds Dominican to me 🤔😊
If you are exposed to them more, you'll catch the difference. They have very similar characteristics, but a Puerto rican typically doesn't sound like a Dominican because of the the sing-songyness of their dialect. Thanks for watching.
Joey Owen not at all
ay tighten up nigga.
Not at all you ain’t know shit cause you weren’t raise with Dominicans and Puerto Rican’s to see the difference
Johnny Rutz he said that he was afroamerican
This is really good. I live in PR and this is a good example of some basics differences
Thank you!! I wanna go and actually experience it myself. I know there are more accents. I need to investigate more.
"...open your mouth!" 🤣🤣🤣
